ہم نے اُن کے سامنے اوّل تو خنجر رکھ دیا
پھر کلیجہ رکھ دیا، دل رکھ دیا، سر رکھ دیا
– داغ دیہلوی
Hamne unke saamne awwal to khanjar rakh diya
phir kaleja rakh diya, dil rakh diya, sar rakh diya
– Daag Dehlvi
हमने उनके सामने अव्वल तो खंजर रख दिया
फिर कलेजा रख दिया, दिल रख दिया, सर रख दया
– दाग़ देहलवी
Meaning of:

The painting depicts the surrender of the Gallic chieftain after the Battle of Alesia (52 BC). Note that one of the warriors (bottom left) has a torque around his neck. In fact, the torque was reserved only for gods and important members of a royal family. The depiction of Gauls with long hair and mustaches is also called into question today. The horse is a Percheron, although at this time this breed was not in Gaul. In addition, the Gauls rode bareback, but here the horse is saddled and harnessed. The rectangular shield also does not accord with the time when they were mostly oval.
