Shaheedan-e-Wafa is a great poetic work on the martyrdom of young sahibzadey of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. It was written by Hakeem Allah Yaar Khan Jogi, a Muslim sufi poet around the starting of 20th century. He was known to be impressed with Sikhi, especially the martyrdom of Sahibzadeys. He wrote this work with great passion and respect and earned blessings of the Guru. He himself used to sing Shaheedan-e-Wafa on different occasions at Chamkaur Sahib, Nankana Sahib, Sirhind etc during Jor-Melas. He moved the crowds with his oratorical skills. Hakim Allah Yaar Khan Jogi, was an unbiased Muslim poet/writer wrote two poems almost a century ago, one on Chamkaur, under the title Ganj-a-Shaheedan and the other on Sirhind, entitled Shaheedan-a-Wafa. His ancestors were from Deccan, but he was settled in Anarkali, Lahore. He used to wear royal Achkan n Salwar, was tall, of strong built, with a small moustache and khaskhasi beard. All in all, he looked like an Iranian mir. The poems were in the form of a homage on the heart rending tragedies of Chamkaur and Sirhind. Ganj-a-Shaheedan appeared in the year 1913 and both appeared collectively from Lahore in the year 1915. The valour displayed by the young sons of Guru Gobind Singh has been sympathetically and vividly narrated in the poems of a devout Muslim, Allah Yaar Khan. The cruelty of their murder and their fearlcssness of death which they preferred to giving up their faith finds a touching narration in "GarijiShahTdari" by Allah Yaar Khan Jogi, who used to recite it from Sikh platforms during the second and third decades of the twentieth century. Jogi Allah Yaar Khan just loved Guru Ji and with love wrote so much about Guru Ji that Muslims became very jealous, called “kafir” (unbelievers) and did not allow him to enter a Mosque for 30 years. When he had become an old man, a Qazi went to his house and said to him, “Jogia, come with me and ask for forgiveness. You have grown old and should die as a true Muslim.” Allah Yaar Khan said, “I have done nothing wrong. What I wrote about Guru Ji is the truth and I will not go back.” Hearing this the Qazi got mad and said, “Then you wanna die as a kafir?” Yaar khan replied, “I am kafir from Mohammad but not for Guru Gobind Singh Ji. I see Guru Ji sitting in Bahishat (heaven) with open arms and waiting for me. I want His love and want to die as Guru Ji’s servant.” Qazi left and Allah Yaar Khan died remembering Guru Ji every moment of his life. [SikhiWiki] Enjoyed the narration?

Pooran was born to Queen Ichhira, the first wife of king Raja Sálván. Upon the suggestion of the astrologers, Pooran was sent away from the King for the first 12 years of his life. It was said that King could not see the face of his son. While Pooran was away, the King married a young girl named Loona, who came from a low caste family. After 12 years of isolation, Pooran returned to the royal palace. There, Loona became romantically attracted toward the youthful Pooran. Loona being his step-mother, Pooran disapproved of her advances. A hurt Loona accused Puran of violating her honor. Pooran was ordered to be amputated and killed. The soldiers cut off his hands and legs and threw him in a well in the forest. One day Guru Gorakhnath were passing by with his followers and heard sounds from the well.

O. Henry's stories frequently have surprise endings. In his day he was called the American answer to Guy de Maupassant. While both authors wrote plot twist endings, O. Henry's stories were considerably more playful, and are also known for their witty narration. "Witches' Loaves" is also one such story. Most of O. Henry's stories are set in his own time, the early 20th century. Many take place in New York City and frequently feature characters with blue-collar jobs, such as policemen and waitresses.
