Deh Siva Var Mohe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deh Siva bar Mohe[1] is a celebrated and widely quoted hymn believed to be written by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru.
The hymn is a part of Chandi Charitar Ukti Bilas, a section of the Dasam Granth. In Gurbani (sacred hymns of Sikh Gurus) the word "Siva" primarily means Waheguru and represents God as, the undescribed, unseen and immortal God in a Nirguna sense.
There are other symbolic references to Hindu deities in Gurbani[2] for the reader to get a better understanding. Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha in Mahan Kosh defines ‘Siva’ as ‘ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ’ (Parbrahm di Shakti) (the power of Parbrahm) in this context.[3]
[edit] Lyrics
ਦੇਹ ਸਿਵਾ ਬਰੁ ਮੋਹਿ ਇਹੈ ਸੁਭ ਕਰਮਨ ਤੇ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਨ ਟਰੋਂ ॥
ਨ ਡਰੋਂ ਅਰਿ ਸੋ ਜਬ ਜਾਇ ਲਰੋਂ ਨਿਸਚੈ ਕਰਿ ਅਪੁਨੀ ਜੀਤ ਕਰੋਂ ॥
ਅਰੁ ਸਿਖ ਹੋਂ ਆਪਨੇ ਹੀ ਮਨ ਕੌ ਇਹ ਲਾਲਚ ਹਉ ਗੁਨ ਤਉ ਉਚਰੋਂ ॥
ਜਬ ਆਵ ਕੀ ਅਉਧ ਨਿਦਾਨ ਬਨੈ ਅਤਿ ਹੀ ਰਨ ਮੈ ਤਬ ਜੂਝ ਮਰੋਂ ॥੨੩੧॥ [1]
देह शिवा बर मोहे ईहे, शुभ कर्मन ते कभुं न टरूं
न डरौं अरि सौं जब जाय लड़ौं, निश्चय कर अपनी जीत करौं,
अरु सिख हों आपने ही मन कौ इह लालच हउ गुन तउ उचरों,
जब आव की अउध निदान बनै अति ही रन मै तब जूझ मरों ॥२३१॥
Translation: O Lord grant me the boon, that I may never deviate from doing a good deed.
That I shall not fear when I go into combat. And with determination I will be victorious.
That I may teach myself this greed alone, to learn only Thy praises.
And when the last days of my life come, I may die in the might of the battlefield.
-- Guru Gobind Singh
