Kurbani: Poem Of Sacrifice
Bhai Fauja Singh Ji
O True Guru we will serve your everlasting Sikhi with our every word, thought and deed
We will devote our youth, wealth and all worldly possessions to the cause of the Panth
My body, preserved since childhood, will be sacrificed now the need has arisen
By continuously repeating and sincerely following Gurbani we will get rid of all our evil-mindedness
If you keep you Grace my Graceful Lord, we will sacrifice ourselves limb by limb
We will endeavour to fly the wonderful flag, which marks the treasure of your Naam all over the world
The light of faith that seems to be dwindling will be rekindled with our blood
By forsaking our mind’s wisdom O Lord, we will blend our soul with yours
With your divinely ordained faith we will overcome all evil
By sacrificing ourselves we will revive and renovate the fading symbol of our faith
The Khalsa speaks with your Grace; our inner-voice will be heard by all
Sikhi is immortalising nectar and we will serve it with the five Kakkars to our last breath
When all else fails, in the hour of need, we will sacrifice our heads at your altar
