Sorry, can't help you with translation but I am pretty sure it says something along the lines of "I'm gonna kick your butt! Oh yeah?! I'm gonna kick YOUR butt!" and then the guys in the castle say "when you are done come over here and we will kick all of your butts!"

On a serious note, I love Indian miniature paintings/illuminations and find this one to be particularly attractive. Are you sure it's Sikh?

By the way BUMP! We need a translation!

You may get a better response if you change the title to islamic text, as this appears to be either farsi or arabic, not Punjabi or Hindi etc

Hi Raj
need 2 to 3 days ... for present time, my translator is in Cairo

just time to contact her, and have her comments

I guess, this texte should be writing in "Farsi",

in Arabic ... only if what is writing is referring to Holy Quran,
when the item doesn't come from an Arabic country

I love these type of "miniatures"

Sihk Art?? Muwaahahahaha , not even close, good thing i looked at this, it is a classical Farsi poem, the style of the peom looks to be form Ferdowsi, but who knows, either way I'll translate it for you later, right now I'm watching a movie and can not be bothered

They closed the gate of the fort to the King
They did not look at the baldes and the army

They did not rush to (bow) to the king
They kept their heads from serving the court

If the just lord calls on them
They went and did not listen to the orders of thier fathers (roughly)

If judgment book was written
Would not let to in the mountain or desert

The wise king saw the only way
To remove the barracade from that fort

Ordered the army to Hundred Thousand
Get up and attack that fort

Fereshta (Angel) could be the name of the artist or poet or what not.
