A ray of hope in darkness
and a savior in the ocean-like world,
Guru Arjan Dev ji – the fifth guru
Is the Sikh martyrdom’s herald.

He chose faith over life
and upheld the Sikh philosophy.
Undeterred by days of torture,
He vanquished every fallacy.

In theses days of blistering heat,
Sitting cross-legged on a burning plate,
In sweet remembrance of Waheguru
he accepted every turn of fate.

In complete acceptance of Waheguru’s will
and with a valiance that has no equals,
he stood for what was divine and right
in conditions that have no parallels!

In a world that needs his virtues,
his legacy must perpetuate.
He set a precedent for us – his children,
of an inspiration so great.

He lives in us as a guiding light,
as a proof of a will indefatigable.
He taught us how to stand upright
for rights that are inalienable. . .
