For My Sisters

[jasleen k]

sakhee milahu ras ma(n)gal gaavahu ham ghar saajan aaeiaa ||2||So join with me, my sisters, and sing the songs of joy and delight; my friends have come into my home.

this is for my sisters who rock the dastaar everyday, at home, at school, at work, and at play.

this is for my sisters who defied their family and offered their heads to their Guru. you know the difference between temporary attachment and true love.

this is for my sisters who's kirpans have tasted the blood of the enemies of humanity. i can never find the words to thank you enough.

this is for my sisters who choose not to look like a hollywood/bollywood starlet, who are happy and beautiful with their hairy legs, their untrimmed hair, and their eyebrows just as God made them. you are the essence of beauty and grace.

this is for my sisters who struggle to get their children ready each day, combing through their tears, braiding their hair, tying their patkas, and never once thinking of taking the easy road. you keep the future of Sikhi alive.

this is for my sisters who are teachers, bringing the next generation up with love, courage, honesty, and integrity. you inspire me as much as you inspire them.

this is for my sisters who nurse the sick. your compassion brings a smile to my face every time i think of you.

this is for my sisters who see seva as a normal part of every day life, not as something they have to do. you make the world a better place for everyone around you.

this is for my younger sisters who have it so together... it's me who looks up to you!

this is for my older sisters who command my respect with every drop of wisdom that comes from their lips. i sit at your feet.

this is for my sisters who stood up for themselves and married for Sikhi rather than for caste, race, or social standing. you are changing the world.

this is for my sisters who wear a kadha instead of jewelry, kachhera instead of mini skirts, a kanga instead of a bindi, a kirpan instead of a designer purse, and a dastaar instead of a fashion hair style. you are the very image of Guru ji!

this is for my sisters who stand up for themselves, who speak their minds, who make people listen, who make people think twice, who make people angry, who keep their cool, and who turn heads in wonder and respect wherever they go. you are my role models.

this is for my sisters. my kaurs. my singhnia. my bibian. my bhenay. i look up to you. i learn from you. i am inspired by you. you have my attention. you have my respect. you have my love.

thank you.

jinee sakha(n)aee ka(n)th pashhaaniaa ho thin kai laago paae ||I touch the feet of my sister soul-brides who have known their Husband Lord.

thin hee jaisee thhee rehaa sathasa(n)gath mael milaae ||1||If only I could be like them! Joining the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, I am united in His Union. ||1||

[Mehtab Singh]

Did you know how much our Gurus regarded the status of women?

Hail you! oh Kaur!

You were considered evil and impure

Endless and intolerable pains you had to endure

For your father and brother you were always a load

Painful obstacles forever blocked your life's road

Religion after religion came on this earth

Yet cursed the one responsible for man's birth

Then came the true divine master of creation

Made you a princess and blessed you with jubilation

Starting from Bibi Nanki, my Guru Nanak Dev Jee's sister

All the way to the Khalsa mothers who suffered every blister

Sacrificed their husbands, brothers and sons

Some to cruel swords, others to fanatic guns

Not a single cry was ever heard from their mouth

Their glory is sung today from the north to the south

Not a wrinkle on their foreheads, not a drop in their eyes

Bowing before their feet one sees the seven skies

But today when I look around it pains my soul

Seeing Gurujee's daughters forget their goal

Disowning their history, faith and culture

Running after lust, that wretched dark vulture

Disrespecting their body in many disgusting ways

Shying away from all of the Eternal Lord's plays

Losing their purity and then peace of mind

Falling prey to worldly pleasures that later get unkind

I am no one who has any license to teach

Can't be a preacher as I am myself a leech

But this much prayer I shall offer at your feet

Wishing that someday the Lord we all can meet

This much prayer I offer with folded hands

That your fame stretches across all possible lands

And the last few words that I have got to express

Are from my inner being and not just to impress

Blessed are you, oh Kaur! For you have prepared

Lions for the battle from whom tyrants are scared

Blessed are you, oh Kaur! For yours is the glory

Which strikes terror within the merciless and the gory

Blessed are you, oh Kaur! Unaware of what is pain

Yearning for martyrdom, not once but again and again

Blessed are you, oh Kaur! With you is my Guru Gobind Singh

Your True Father, True Mother, and True Eternal King

Feel proud! You are Gurujee's princesses!
