Nihang (pronounced Nee-hung)( ਨਿਹੰਗ ): Nihang is a Persian word that literally means "Crocodile".
-Navjinder
Monk Warrior
Bare feet
Bare legs
Ready stance
Towering
Kirpan and strap
Cinch his breast
Sword clings like a serpent on his thigh
Saffron sash
Electric blue turban
Stern, somber
Watches, and waits longer
He is seva
His eyes articulate commitment
He is aware
Up above his penetrating gaze
Is a dastaar rolled in tapered layers
Narrow toward the end,
It tips a chakram ready to be freed
Spins a deadly ring
Dissects the air
Divides the enemy
Proclaims -
'Nihang'!
