ਪੰਜਿ ਪਿਆਲੇ ਪੰਜਿ ਪੀਰ ਛਠਮੁ ਪੀਰ ਬੈਠਾ ਗੁਰ ਭਾਰੀ

ਚਲੀ ਪੀੜੀ ਸੋਢੀਆ ਰੂਪ ਦਿਖਾਵਣਿ ਵਾਰੋ ਵਾਰੀ
ਦਲਭੰਜਨ ਗੁਰੁ ਸੂਰਮਾ ਵਡ ਜੋਧਾ ਬਹੁ ਪਰਉਪਕਾਰੀ

ARJAN KAYA PALAT KE MOORAT HARGOBIND SAWARI”
Miri Piri De Malik, Daata Bandi Chaur, Akaal Takht de Sirjanhar, Cheve Patshah Dhan Dhan Sri Hargobind Sahib Ji De Aagman Purab Diya Kotan Kot Vadhaian
Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji was the sixth of the Ten Gurus of Sikhism. He became Guru on the 11 of June, 1606, following the footsteps of his father, Guru Arjan Dev Ji. While the ceremonial rites were being performed by Baba Buddha Ji, Guru HarGobind Ji asked Baba Buddha Ji to adorn him with a sword rather than the Seli of Guru Nanak Dev Ji which had been used previously by the earlier Gurus.
Guru HarGobind Ji then put on not one, but two swords; one on his left side and the other on his right. He named one “Miri,” representing Temporal Power, and the other “Piri,” representing Spiritual Power, one to smite the oppressor and the other to protect the innocent. He told his followers: “In the Guru’s house, spiritual and mundane powers shall be combined. My rosary shall be the sword-belt and on my turban I shall wear a Kalgi” (The Kalgi was an ornament for the turban which was worn by the Mughal and Hindu rulers of the era).
Guru HarGobind Ji carried the same light of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, and he added to it the luster of the sword. Guru HarGobind Ji was also the inventor of the Taus. When watching a peacock singing one day, the Guru wished to make an instrument to mimic the sound of the peacock, thus creating the Taus. Regards. D P Singh.
