This is a short poem in dedication to Shaheed Bhai Jaspal Singh and the current situation with Bhai Balwant Singh. As I see this injustice and turmoil unfold in front of my eyes, I have been taken back with great shock and surprise. How can the Indian government succeed in eliminating the Panth, The blood of a shaheed only adds life to this plant. The nation has been shook with the couby guptpoet - Gurmat Discussion Forum
How temporary this life is, we live within vein, How quickly everything moves, everything changed. Friends no longer friends, people walking away, Who can be permanent, forever to stay? God is able to shelter and deliver help, He knows all our weaknesses and all we have felt. He is complete, and completely forgiving, If everyone is deaf, He will still listen. O King, provide me wby guptpoet - Gurmat Discussion Forum
It was my fault that I held on to too many hopes, Now all I do is sit here and mope At my misfortune, not thinking of Akaal, ‘biaapath harakh sog bisathhaar’ Maya torments us with the expression of pleasure and pain. The heavens opened, but only fire began to rain, I have lost everything that was there to gain, I didn’t change for the better, just staying the same.

I never knew the world was so cruel, When all dies, still Naam will be True. I wasted away years enjoying the pleasures of this illusion, Wondering around in complete confusion. We must learn to die whilst yet alive, Those who can do this are those who truly survive. Only a few have destroyed their ego in order to realize, Whilst I still walk around listening to gossip and spreadingby guptpoet - Gurmat Discussion Forum
You are possibly correct as I wasn's sure if it was ik shinn or ik gharee. The Vaar by Bhai Gurdas Ji doesn't mention how much either. Here is the translation of the Vaar. King Janak was a great saint who amidst Maya remained indifferent to it. Along with gans and gandharvs (celestial musicians) he went to the abode of the Gods. From there, he, hearing the cries of inhabitants of hell, weby guptpoet - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I think you are talking about Raja Janak. This is what I have heard: Raja Janak was passing to the next world after physical death. And he heard screams and asked where are they coming from? He was told they were screams from hell and of people being punished for their sins. Raja Janak asked for 1 shin of his kamayee to be used to take out as many people that can be taken out of the helby guptpoet - Gurmat Discussion Forum
As I watch the world goes up in flames, I ask myself; who’s to blame? It is us as individuals who are to pay, For we waste so many breaths, each and every day! If we were all to jap Naam, Our surrounding would become calm. Who would be out there to cause any harm? If we realise all as a reflection of Him, Who can we hate? What’s there to lose or win? Instead of fighting forby guptpoet - Gurmat Discussion Forum
O, Vaheguroo Ji, How long I wished to be free. Free from what? Free of this burden of Maya. How can one be released? By using the rasna, To engage in Naam Japna, And realize the world as a mere supnaa. When the light merges with light, How can you tell between the two? When water merges with water, This is the ultimate truth! To find the source to be the only one, And we werby guptpoet - Gurmat Discussion Forum
My arms have become weak, I feel like I always want to sleep. Blood not flowing, Hairs stopped growing. Once it was black, Now only grey or white, My bodies lost the strength, No more might. The door to death has opened wide, I am shocked to have to find, That there is nowhere left to hide, No place which I can now call mine. What I once saw as a castle, my home, When I usedby guptpoet - Gurmat Discussion Forum
My Lord is ever dear, This self was never here. I thought I was me, How wrong could I be! Discovering there isn’t two, Ik Onkar is true, there's only the One I salute. Please Lord pardon me for my faults, I questioned it all saying whys and what's Please make me realize, Become wise. Rid me of this nature, Life has become torture, Separating yourself from Him No one caby guptpoet - Gurmat Discussion Forum
How difficult is this life, It seems as if I cannot survive! My Lord has given me breath; I'm waiting till there is none left. So I can leave this world of misery, I don’t know His depths, it’s such a mystery. A deep feeling of bairaag, Naam has pierced my heart, like a shard. Reveal yourself Maharaaj, Reveal yourself!

O u idiot, why have you forsaken the name? You think you are clever; all your tricks fail to save you from the pain. Inevitably you will suffer, o mortal realize you will depart What will you do when there is no beat left in your heart? You’re a mere ant. But yet you’re big and proud. O you fool; you will leave this body, as rain leaves the cloud! Go back to Him, find the true souby guptpoet - Gurmat Discussion Forum
My heart is sad, Why is it sad? My mind has been hurt, Who has hurt it? I try and try, Time passes bye and bye. How can I express what I feel now? Working hard by the sweat of my brow. Yet it seems like I am further than ever, Will I win? It’s like I will never! But what is in pain? It’s just that my mind is in strain, I never longed to be known, nor for fame, My gurusby guptpoet - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Naam has entered, Within every pore. I’ve lost my conscience, I can’t feel anymore. Unable to feel, Nothing beyond the Lord. I’ve wasted so much time, In the world which I explored. This is so precious, I didn’t realize the jewel. I saw it as glass, O, what a fool!by guptpoet - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I am dizzy with a serious headache, O my Guru this life is yours to take, I can’t cope with the stresses of life; you are a good husband whilst I’m a poor wife. Why o why, when will I go, this is all just a mere show Take me right now, I submit to you, this is all false, nothing is true! You’ve pierced my heart, I didn’t know where to begin, but now I must start.by guptpoet - Gurmat Discussion Forum
What are these eyes? Where they go when I am to die? I long for my Guru, these eyes desire to see Him, Amrit has begun to fill this body cup to it's brim. I will go crazy, insane, become widowed without my Lord, I would take off my head with my own sword. I'd pull out these eyes and place them at His feet, I must know that I will have to depart from this seat. O my Guru, give me tby guptpoet - Gurmat Discussion Forum
