Genie Singh Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) See this shabad below it relates to the account in ANG 360 of Guru Nanak Dev ji and the attack Babar had the last bit is interesting in which Guru sahib ask didn't you feel any compassion. These days in modern world many great evils happen and people who believed in God loose belief some Sikhs probably lost faith after 1947 and 1984 some sang this shabad in tribute. Could it be a since question why didn't you feel compassion. Also Mardana asked guru nanak when babur attacked why he killed all the pathans, guru ji told him to sleep under a tree and when he wakes he will know the answer, he did so, while mardana was sleeping a drop of honey fell on him after which he was covered in ants and was bite after which he killed all the ants. Guru Nanak said there is your answer you were bitten by one ant but you killed all of them. ਆਸਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ॥ आसा महला १ ॥ Āsā mėhlā 1. Aasaa, First Mehl: ਖੁਰਾਸਾਨ ਖਸਮਾਨਾ ਕੀਆ ਹਿੰਦੁਸਤਾਨੁ ਡਰਾਇਆ ॥ खुरासान खसमाना कीआ हिंदुसतानु डराइआ ॥ Kẖurāsān kẖasmānā kī▫ā hinḏusaṯān darā▫i▫ā. Having attacked Khuraasaan, Baabar terrified Hindustan. ਆਪੈ ਦੋਸੁ ਨ ਦੇਈ ਕਰਤਾ ਜਮੁ ਕਰਿ ਮੁਗਲੁ ਚੜਾਇਆ ॥ आपै दोसु न देई करता जमु करि मुगलु चड़ाइआ ॥ Āpai ḏos na ḏe▫ī karṯā jam kar mugal cẖaṛā▫i▫ā. The Creator Himself does not take the blame, but has sent the Mogal as the messenger of death. ਏਤੀ ਮਾਰ ਪਈ ਕਰਲਾਣੇ ਤੈਂ ਕੀ ਦਰਦੁ ਨ ਆਇਆ ॥੧॥ एती मार पई करलाणे तैं की दरदु न आइआ ॥१॥ Ėṯī mār pa▫ī karlāṇe ṯaiʼn kī ḏaraḏ na ā▫i▫ā. ||1|| There was so much slaughter that the people screamed. Didn't You feel compassion, Lord? ||1|| ਕਰਤਾ ਤੂੰ ਸਭਨਾ ਕਾ ਸੋਈ ॥ करता तूं सभना का सोई ॥ Karṯā ṯūʼn sabẖnā kā so▫ī. O Creator Lord, You are the Master of all. ਜੇ ਸਕਤਾ ਸਕਤੇ ਕਉ ਮਾਰੇ ਤਾ ਮਨਿ ਰੋਸੁ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ जे सकता सकते कउ मारे ता मनि रोसु न होई ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥ Je sakṯā sakṯe ka▫o māre ṯā man ros na ho▫ī. ||1|| rahā▫o. If some powerful man strikes out against another man, then no one feels any grief in their mind. ||1||Pause|| ਸਕਤਾ ਸੀਹੁ ਮਾਰੇ ਪੈ ਵਗੈ ਖਸਮੈ ਸਾ ਪੁਰਸਾਈ ॥ सकता सीहु मारे पै वगै खसमै सा पुरसाई ॥ Sakṯā sīhu māre pai vagai kẖasmai sā pursā▫ī. But if a powerful tiger attacks a flock of sheep and kills them, then its master must answer for it. ਰਤਨ ਵਿਗਾੜਿ ਵਿਗੋਏ ਕੁਤੀ. ਮੁਇਆ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਕਾਈ ॥ रतन विगाड़ि विगोए कुतीं मुइआ सार न काई ॥ Raṯan vigāṛ vigo▫e kuṯīʼn mu▫i▫ā sār na kā▫ī. This priceless country has been laid waste and defiled by dogs, and no one pays any attention to the dead. ਆਪੇ ਜੋੜਿ ਵਿਛੋੜੇ ਆਪੇ ਵੇਖੁ ਤੇਰੀ ਵਡਿਆਈ ॥੨॥ आपे जोड़ि विछोड़े आपे वेखु तेरी वडिआई ॥२॥ Āpe joṛ vicẖẖoṛe āpe vekẖ ṯerī vadi▫ā▫ī. ||2|| You Yourself unite, and You Yourself separate; I gaze upon Your Glorious Greatness. ||2|| ਜੇ ਕੋ ਨਾਉ ਧਰਾਏ ਵਡਾ ਸਾਦ ਕਰੇ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਣੇ ॥ जे को नाउ धराए वडा साद करे मनि भाणे ॥ Je ko nā▫o ḏẖarā▫e vadā sāḏ kare man bẖāṇe. One may give himself a great name, and revel in the pleasures of the mind, ਖਸਮੈ ਨਦਰੀ ਕੀੜਾ ਆਵੈ ਜੇਤੇ ਚੁਗੈ ਦਾਣੇ ॥ खसमै नदरी कीड़ा आवै जेते चुगै दाणे ॥ Kẖasmai naḏrī kīṛā āvai jeṯe cẖugai ḏāṇe. but in the Eyes of the Lord and Master, he is just a worm, for all the corn that he eats. ਮਰਿ ਮਰਿ ਜੀਵੈ ਤਾ ਕਿਛੁ ਪਾਏ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਖਾਣੇ ॥੩॥੫॥੩੯॥ मरि मरि जीवै ता किछु पाए नानक नामु वखाणे ॥३॥५॥३९॥ Mar mar jīvai ṯā kicẖẖ pā▫e Nānak nām vakẖāṇe. ||3||5||39|| Only one who dies to his ego while yet alive, obtains the blessings, O Nanak, by chanting the Lord's Name. ||3||5||39|| Edited March 4, 2012 by JatherdarSahib 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
