"The merciful Nihang" joke

A Nihang decided to stop an express train at a non-stop station. He stood in the middle of the railtrack brandishing his kirpan and spear and yelling defiance at the oncoming train. A crowd watched the confrontation with bated breath.
When the engine driver noticed the Nihang on the track and realised he would not be able to stop the train in time; he blew his whistle as frantically as he could. Just as the engine was almost upon him, the Nihang jumped aside and let the train pass.
'What happened, Nihangji?' asked the onlookers.' Did you take fright?'
'Never!' replied the Nihang with bravado.' You see how I made it scream [cheekaan kaddh dittiyan!). A Nihang never kills anyone who cries for mercy.'
