Main kis hanjhu da deewa baal ke teri aarti
gawaan,
(out of which tear drop should I light a
lamp and do ur aarti)
mera har geet buzdil hai, main kehda geet
aj gawaan ,
(my every song is full of
cowardness,which song should I sing
today)
mera koi geet nahi aisa jo tere mech aa
jawe,
(none of my songs can match ur
personality)
sarre baazaar ja kar ke jo apna sir kata
aawe,
(which can openly get his head
beheaded, here the writer is actually
referring to the sacrifice of Guru Tegh
Bahadur Sahib Ji because it was Guru
Gobind Singh Ji who said Guru Tegh
Bahadur Ji to save the hindu religion
and in turn his father Guru Tegh
Bahadur Sahib our 9th Guru got
beheaded for saving hindus)
jo apne sohal chhinde bol neehaan wich
china aawe,
(who can get his favourite words
bricked, here writer is referring to his
two sons Sahibzada Zorawar Singh Ji
and Sahibzada Fateh Singh Ji who were
bricked alive by wazir khan)
Je lut jaawe taan phir bhi yaar de
satthrin gaawe,
(when he has lost everything even
then he lives as he used to live, here
writer says that Guru Gobind Singh Ji's
belief in God was same when he had
Anandpur Sahib, his four sons, 52
poets, his Darbar, his army and it
remained same when he lost
everything, was in Machiwara, he
didn’t utter a single word or tear at
the death of his sons, while on the
other hand when leaving Chamkaur
sahib bhai sahib bhai Daya singh ji(1
of the panj pyaras or 5 beloved ones)
was accompanying Guru Gobind Singh
ji he stoped and Guru Gobind Singh
ji said what happened he said
sahibzada Ajit singh ji and Jujhar singh
ji are lying on the battle field , you go
ahead and I will meet you after doing
their creamation, Guru Gobind Singh ji
said they are not my only sons whole
of Khalsa is my own who will do their
creamation and Guru Gobind Singh ji
said that I don’t want any one to say
that I treated my sons and my Sikhs in
a different way, )
main kiwen talwar di gaani nu apne geet
gal pawaan,
(how can my songs compare the might
of his sword )
mera har geet buzdil hai main keda geet
aj gawaan,
(my every song is full of
cowardness, which song should I sing today)
