Freed Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 GurFateh ! Is there anybody on SA who can read Arabic script / ShahMukhi ? If anyone can - could they do me a Big Favour and provide a Transliteration of the following extracts. They both come from footnotes in S.Kapur Singh's 'Parasaraprasna' The first is from Khushwaqt Rai's 'Twarikh-i-Sikhan' (1811AD) - I've included Kapur Singh's translation. *from Parasaraprasna - The Baisakhi of Guru Gobind Singh - Kapur Singh - Edited by Piar Singh, Madanjit Kaur - GNDU 2001 Third Edition page 122 The second is said to be an Afghan eyewitness verse in Pastu - describing 'Akalees' in battle *from Parasaraprasna - The Baisakhi of Guru Gobind Singh - Kapur Singh - Edited by Piar Singh, Madanjit Kaur - GNDU 2001 Third Edition page 136 Many Many Thanks in advance !

Guest Javanmard Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I can read most of it but the handwriting is not very neat I have to admit, which makes it difficult to transliterate. South Asian Nastaliq is a nightmare and a half. Even just reading the Jang newspaper becomes a struggle because the words are just agglutinated instead of being neatly separated as Persians do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamic_Banda Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 ahh lighten up fellas i dont think akaali intended to offend i think he just likes to be a clown, if his intention was to offend then let him own up to it, and the cyber powers to be will issue him with a warning.. !!! if he just pulling the leg and clowning, i guess an apology and hugs and kisses will heal all wounds.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaali Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 lol sorry if it offended u guys or sounded rude, just thought that was a bit funny. vijaydeep is an amazing singh, knows tons of sarbloh bani, sakis from purataan itaastik granths, several languges and served in the army so hes a good warrior too. just find his english funny to read, espically when he was responding to the gora who posted on the forum a while ago, oh jeez, the confusion was hilarious 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
