This is the poem I would like to recite:
-- ------------------------------------------------
Are You Proud to be Sikh?
Sharan Singh We are proud to be Sikhs So do many speak --But only of the past And not these present weeks. I pity the Khalsa Panth Which gave up its life for Guru Granth Who sacrificed their heads instead of their hair Attaining martyrdom with least worldly care. Oh! The love for our Guru was so great then That we were recognized as the purest of men, But now that our love for Him is fading away Our Panth is undergoing deep decay. The problem is we still doubt our Guru Despite being perfect--and this is quite true. We get influenced by others' personal philosophies And the purest knowledge, we thus oversee. Why, why is this taking place? Why are we in this disgrace? Do you have any care at all, If you are a Sikh from your heart and soul? A true Sikh is purest in form and feature He is the embodiment of simple Nature So please do not practise apostacy And call yourself a Sikh of Guru Gobind Singh Ji! If our faith is modern then why not our form? Because,if your mind is pure,so will be your body's interests Now,don't make this mistake of following your own norm And later blame being influenced by the West. Reflection: I don't in any way mean to offend anybody.I wrote this poem to remind us that we should all realize the present crisis of our faith now and not be carried away by its glorious past.We should be inspired by our past and deal with the present declination of our faith often people tell these excuses of blaming the West, I hope this poem gives the reply to all those who seek it.
