Vishraams (Pauses)


Recommended Posts

Sangat jee - Please share those verses which have multiple correct meanings based on switching the Vishraam (Case 1) or where the Vishraam applied at the wrong place can result in an incorrect meaning (Case 2).

Let's start with a shalok from Ninth Master's verses.

Case 1 (Red words indicate the Vishraam)

ਗੁਨ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਗਾਇਓ ਨਹੀ ਜਨਮੁ ਅਕਾਰਥ ਕੀਨੁ ॥

If you do not sing the Praises of the Lord, your life is rendered useless.

ਗੁਨ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਗਾਇਓ ਨਹੀ ਜਨਮੁ ਅਕਾਰਥ ਕੀਨੁ ॥

If you do sing the Praises of the Lord, your life shall not be rendered useless.

 

Bhul chuk maaf
