Ibrahim Lodhi ruled Delhi. Haughty n cruel, he had alienated many. Punjab was held by Daulat Khan. Eager to deliver himself from Lodhi, he sent envoys to Babur for help. Babur couldn't be happier. He had failed to capture Khurasan in the past. Now was his chance to enter India.
Guru Nanak warned Daulat Khan that Babur would only overtake them. His words fell on deaf ears. He wrote:
Such are the blasphemers
Who set themselves up
As leaders of the world;
Consuming daily
Forbidden fruit of falsehood,
Yet they preach to others,
What's right n what's wrong.
Such are the blasphemers

Yet they preach to others,
