Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

Pyaare saadh sangat jee, often in life we come across situations when our friends and/or family members, whether Sikh or non-Sikh, ask us to go against Gurmat. They do so by pointing out towards other "Amritdharis" or non-Amritdharis who do all sorts of such things and try to convince us that its all ok and no big deal. With this in mind, das has made a small attempt to put his feelings down.

A Sikh is seen, yet they can’t see

A Sikh is seen with trimmed beard

And an attempt is made to have my mind cleared

A Sikh is seen wearing jewellery

And I am called a fanatic and face mockery

A Sikh is seen wearing rings and stones

And I am slapped in the face with taunting tones

A Sikh is seen visiting Hindu places of worship

Forgetting his and his Guru’s relationship

A Sikh is seen reciting ritualistic mantars

Forgetting Waheguru and running after jantars

I am told “See even Sikhs do all this!”

But little do they know how much they miss

A Sikh is seen wearing ear-rings and chains

Forgetting his ancestors’ sufferings and pains

I am told “One should change with times”

Sorry but these are nothing but crimes

Guru Tegh Bahadur Jee – they can’t see Him!

Talk about His sacrifice for them, and they remain mum

Guru Gobind Singh Jee – they can’t see Him!

His unique sacrifices have made everyone dumb

They can’t see those countless lovers

Who gave their lives but didn’t go for covers

They can’t see those who chose not life but death

And remembered the Lord with each and every breath

>

Invisible to their eyes are all those legends

Who fought for justice and were called brigands

Invisible to their eyes are all those martyrs

A new age began and they were the starters

What can one say to someone who can’t see

Someone who remains blind and from the truth they flee

They call some as traitors and their acts terrorism

Yet when they kill thousands its all called patriotism

What do I say to them who can’t think

So blinded by falsehood that they don’t even blink

What do I say to those whose knowledge is nil

Yet they never give a chance to fill

What can one do about them who are lost

Few like me are therefore paying the cost

Not far is the day when the Khalsa shall rise

Destroy this market of untruth amidst victorious cries

Not far is the day when superstitions will fail

Holding onto Guru Nanak, the pure ones will sail

Not far is the day when all foes will be crushed

And those who speak lies for money will be forever hushed

Then a Sikh will be seen in Gurujee’s true form

Following all the codes of conduct and every norm

Then Sikhs will be seen in their gifted attire

And all soothsayers will run away and retire

Then a Sikh will be seen living a life pure and honest

Always in rising spirits and full of zest

I wait and look forward to that day whenever it may come

To free everyone of false beliefs and unite with their true home

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!
