| IK ONKAR WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH. |
God is one. The victory belongs
to God. |
| SRI BHAGAUTI JI SAHAI. |
The Great Eternal
Power to help us. |
| VAR SRI BHAGAUTI JI KI PATSHAI
DASWEEN. |
This Var, addressed to the Almighty
was written by Guru Gobind Singh Ji. |
| PRITHAM BHAGAUTI SIMAR KE GURU
NANAK LAIN DHIAE |
First of all after thinking
of the Great Eternal Power I put my mind
to Guru Nanak. |
| PHIR ANGAD GUR TE AMARDAS, RAMDASAE
HOIEN SAHAI. |
Then I pray to Guru Angad, Guru
Amardas and Guru Ramdas to look after me |
| ARJAN HARGOBIND NOO SIMRAU SRI
HAR RAI. |
I will meditate on Guru Arjan
Dev, Guru Hargobind and Guru Har Rai |
| SRI HARKRISHAN DHIAEY, JIS DITHE
SABH DUKH JAIE. |
I think of Guru Harkrishan,
on seeing his calm face all agonies disappear. |
| TEG BAHADAR SIMARIYE, GHAR NAO
NIDH AWAI DHAI. SABH THAIN HOI SAHAI. |
If you meditate on Guru Teg
Bahadar you will get the key for all the
riches. He will help you everywhere. |
| DASWAN PATSHAH SRI
GURU GOBIND SINGH SAHIB JI, SABH THAIN HOI
SAHAI. |
I request Guru Gobind Singh
Ji, the tenth Guru, to look after me everywhere. |
| DASAN PATSHAHIAN DI JOT SRI
GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI DE PATH DIDAR DA DHAYAN
DHAR KE BOLO JI 'WAHEGURU'. |
Meditate on the teaching of
SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB Ji which is the gospel
of all the ten Gurus, and say 'WAHEGURU'. |

Think of the five chosen ones;
the four sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji; the
forty martyrs and all those who meditated
on God's name with strong faith and determination;
shared with everybody whatever they had;
participated in feeding the hungry; fought
for the community; forgave the wrong doers;
remember the great pieces of work done by
those lovely and truthful people and say
'WAHEGURU'. |

Those Sikhs, both
men and women, who, for the sake of their
religion, offered their heads; let their
bodies be cut piece by piece; let their
heads be scalped off; suffered torture under
the body cutting wheel; let their body be
sawed through the middle; who sacrificed
themselves for the sake of the reformation
of the Gurdwaras; but they did not relinquish
their religion; who stuck to the principles
of 'Sikhi' up to their last breath, think
of their heroic performance and say 'WAHEGURU'. |
| PANJAN TAKHTAN, SARBATT GURDWARIAN
DA DHIAN DHAR KE BOLO JI 'WAHEGURU' |
Think of the five supreme Gurdwaras
and all the other Gurdwaras and say 'Waheguru'. |

The first and foremost prayer
of the Khalsa is to remember 'Waheguru'
and through this, there should be peace
everywhere. Wherever there is Khalsa, may
God's grace be there. Khalsa should succeed
in feeding and in protecting the poor people,
Waheguru Ji, look after your people as your
graceful nature is, Khalsa should always
be successful, may the Eternal Power help
us; think of the high esteem of the Khalsa
and say 'Waheguru'. |

It is our request, Waheguru
Ji, that Sikhs should have your grace to
keep 'Sikhi', the hair, all the 'Rehats'
(the commandments given by Guru Gobind Singh
Ji; see Panj Piare, mentioned earlier),
high intelligence, trustworthiness, and
above all the supreme gift of remembering
Your Name; they may be given the pleasure
of visiting Amritsar. The chownki (see below),
your flags and the 'Bunge' (see below) may
always be there for your Sikhs, and and
let the 'Dharam' (virtues of the religion)
prevail; everybody should say 'Waheguru'. |

Sikhs should have humble minds
and high in intellect (thoughts); may God
take care of the intellect of the Sikhs.
Waheguru Ji, please give us the chance to
visit and look after the Gurdwaras, like
Nankana Sahib, from which we have been separated.
You always take care of the honour of those
who have no honour; You are the force of
those who have no force and You are the
support of those who have no support. Waheguru
Ji, at this time at Your service...... '************'
(here we mention the reason why this prayer
is being done; see below), please pardon
our mistakes, please help everybody to accomplish
their work (or mission), please help us
meet those devotees who talk only about
You. |
| NANAK NAM CHARDI KALA, TERE

Nanak says, 'Oh God, under Your
Name let everybody prosper and everybody
should have your Grace'. |
| WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU
JI KI FATEH. |
Khalsa belongs to God, the victory
also belongs to God. |
| BOLE SO NIHAL, SAT SRI AKAL. |
He who speaks God's name, may
have God's grace. The truth is supreme and
immortal. |
