Words fail me to express that act of merciless killing,
In which those Mughal tyrants of the times had indulged.
While the heavens would faint to fall from their celestial heights,
The earth would faint to crack at such a heinous act of crime. (33)
They attacked Bibi Ji, who fought back, she fell fighting and the brutal soldiers threw her into the funeral pyre she had prepared.

As the battlefield of Chamkaur fell silent, the Mughals left the fallen Shaheeds where they fell, as a warning to the local population.
Heartbroken the Shaheeds would not receive a respectful Antim Sanskar, Bibi Harsharan Kaur went to the battlefield,
gathered the severed limbs and shaheed saroops and respectfully cremated them.
When the flames were seen soldiers came, they were shocked to see a lone women.
**translation of final dohra**
With the moment of truth having arrived at last,
Guru Gobind Singh reflecting upon his sacrifice said:
Today has he really joined the fraternity of the Khalsa,
Truly had he been redeemed in the Divine Guru’s Court. 51.519.
Did he keep on dropping the stringed bodies.
Such a stream of blood did he cause to flow,
That hard it was to bear the sight of this bloodbath.
Whichever corpse fell into this stream of blood,
Instantly did it drown into this pool of blood.59.527.
