By the Grace of the One Supreme Being, the Eternal and the Enlightener
Sawayye (Stanzas) uttered by the Tenth Guru, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jee (part of his composition
in Akal Ustat). (By His Grace)
sravg sudh smooh sidhan kai daikh phirio ghar jog gati kai.
soor surardn sudh sudhadik, sunt smooh anaik mti kai.
sarai hi dais ko daikh rehio mut, kohoo na daikhiat pranpti kai.
siri bhagvan ki bhaeh kirpa hoo tai, aik rti bin aik rti kai. (1)
I have seen pure Sravakas (Jaina monks), the abodes of groups of Jogis and Sidhas and Brahmcha-
ris. I have also seen brave men demons, gods and saints of many religions. I have also seen
throughout the country that there is none, who is really devoted to the Lord Master of Life.Without
the love and His Grace, they are worth nothing. (1)
If one possessed numerous intoxicated elephants of high stature decked with gold ornaments and
colorful decorations; tens of millions of horses, galloping like deer, and running faster than the
wind; and countless kings, of mighty arms; were to bow before such a person. What matters it how
great such persons were? They too at last had to depart from this earth bare-footed. (2)

jeet phire sabh dais disan kou, bajat dhol mirdung ngarai.
gunjat goorh gajan ko sundar, hunsat hi hai raj hjarai.
bhoot bhvikh bhavan kai bhoopat, koan gnai nhi jat becharai.
sripat sri bhagvan bhjai bin, aunt kou aunt kai dham sedharai. (3)
A person may conquer countries after countries, and show off his conquests by the beat of various
types of drums and trumpets. There may be the many roaring beautiful elephants, along with thou-
sands of neighing horses of royal breeds (to show off his strength). Who can number such con-
querors of the past, present and future? They cannot be counted. But without contemplating on the
Name of God, the Lord of Wealth, they at the end leave this earth for their final abode. (3)
One may bathe at holy places, practice austerities to control his passions, exercise mercy, make
charities and perform many other rituals. He may study Vedas, Puranas, Koran, other Semitic
Books and Books of other religions in the world. I have also seen those, who live on air alone,
practicing continence and continually pondering over such measures. But without contemplating
on the Name of God, the Lord of Wealth, even kings are of no worth. (4)
There are countless brave men, so valiant that they face the edge of sword, without any hesitation.
They subdue countries, crush rebels and the pride of furious elephants. They break powerful forts,
and conquer the countries of world merely by planning (without fighting). There are such count-
less persons are merely the beggars at the Door of Lord God, Who is the Master of all. There are
the countless suppliants, but the Giver is One. (6)
The demons, gods, serpents and ghosts, of all the ages, past, present and the future, all contemplate
on God’s Name. All the living beings, who are in sea and on land, have been created by God in-
stantly and placed in their respective places. The praise of glories of their good actions destroys
the multitudes of sins committed. All the saints would feel contented and will spread all over and
their enemies would be cowed on beholding them. (7)

The great kings, like Indra, own numerous elephants and rule over three worlds. Persons make millions of
ablutions, make gifts of elephants and other animals. They marry many brides by arranging
“Suaunbra”(Self marriage ceremony). They with Brahma, Shiv, Vishnu and Inder get at last entangled and
fall into the Death’s noose. But those, who worship the Feet of the Lord, they will not be born again. (8)
What is the use of closing both eyes and meditating like a crane? This world is lost and also the next, for
those who go about bathing in the seven seas. They pass their lives in vain, who involve themselves in sin-
ful actions. Hear you all! I say this Truth, “he, who loves the Lord, he alone attains to Him.” (9)
kahhoo lai pahnu pooji dharo, siri, kahoo lai lingu grai ktkaeio.
kahoo lkhio har avachi disa meh, kahoo pchah ko sis nivaeio.
kou butan ko poojat hai psu, kou mirtan kou poojan dhaeio.
koor kiraa oarjhio sabh hi jgu, siri bhagvan ko bhaid na paeio. (10)
There are some, who worship stones and bow to the images. There are others, who put round their necks the
phallaus of stone. Some say that God exists in the South (Som Nath), others say that He exists in the West
(in Kaaba). Some fools worship idols, others the dead ones. The whole world is entangled in false ceremo-
nies, and have no found the Secret of God’s True Path. (10)
