GURU TEGH BAHADHUR SAAHIB JEE


DO NOT FEAR ANY DON'T EVER BE AFRIAD
THIS IS THE LESSON GURJI PORTRAYED
LIVE AND LET LIVE BE ONE WITH THE LORD
FALLOW THIS PATH AS THIN AS A HAIR AS SHARP AS A SWORD
STAND UP FOR WHATS RIGHT EVEN IF YOU STAND ALONE
THESE ARE THE TEACHINGS SATGURU TEGH BAHADHUR JI'S JEEVEN HAS SHOWN


GURU JI TELL ME WHO IS GREATER THAN YOU ASKED YOUNG GURU GOBIND SINGH
FATHER ONLY YOU ALONE CAN ANSWER THE CALL WHICH THE BHRAMINS BRING
YOU MUST FIGHT FOR THEM FATHER EVEN IF IT MEANS GIVING YOUR LIFE
GOD SENT YOU TO THIS EARTH TO END MISERY AND STRIFE
YOU ARE RIGHT SAID GURU TEGH BAHADHUR WE MUST DEFEND BELIEF
WE MUST GO NOW TO DEHLI TO PUT THE OPRESSED OUT OF THEIR GRIEF
WE WILL SHOW THEM ONCE AGIN AS GURU ARJUN DEV JI DID BEFORE
THAT NOONE CAN MOVE THOSE WHO LAY AT THE SHELTER OF GOD'S DOOR


AND SO GURU JI WENT TO DEHLI IN A CALM PEACEFUL STATE
HE WALKED WITHOUT A SINGLE CARE TOWARDS HIS GLORIOUS FATE
DEATH WAS DRAWING NEAR BUT GURU JI WAS TO WRAPPED UP IN GOD TO NOTICE
LIFE AND DEATH WERE ONE TO HIM HE ROSE ABOVE THE WORLD LIKE A GLORIOUS LOTUS
ALL OF CHANDNI CHAUK SHOOK TO SEE SUCH IMMORTAL MITE
EVEN THE MOST LEARNED OF SCHOLARS WERE PERPLEXED AT THE SITE
NOWHERE ELSE IN HISTORY HAS IT EVER BEEN KNOWN
TO SACRIFICE YOUR SELF FOR A RELIGION THAT WASN'T YOU OWN
WHEN TYPE OF SOUL DOES IT TAKE TO SACRIFICE THEMSELVES FOR UNIVERSAL WELFARE
WELL WE SENT THE HOLIEST ONE THE GURU ; WHEN INJUSTICE STRIKES HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE
YOU WERE PUT IN A CAGE AND BEHEADED NEVER DID YOU WAVER
YOU TAUGHT THE TRUE LESSON OF A GREAT SAINTS BEHAVIOR
