Deh Shiva bar mohe ihai


Deh Shiva bar mohe ihai  
Grant me this boon O God


shubh karman the kabhu na taroo  
May I never refrain from the righteous acts;


Na daroo ar siyoo jab jah laroon 
May I fight without fear all foes in life's battles


Nischai kar apni jeet koroo 
With confident courage claiming the victory! 


Ar Sikh hao apne hi mum ko 
May thy glory be grained in my mind,


Eh lalch hou guna tau uchroo 
and my highest ambition be singing thy praises; 


Jab aav ki audh nidhann nanay 
When this mortal life comes to end, 


Aut he rann me tab joojh maroo 
May I die fighting with limitless courage

Gurdwara Panja Sahib History


Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji along with Bhai Mardana Ji reached Hasan Abdal in Baisakh Samwat 1578 B.K. corresponding to 1521 ACE in the summer season. Under a shady cool tree, Guru Nanak and Bhai Mardana started reciting Kirtan and their devotees gathered around. This annoyed Wali Qandhari but he was helpless.

According to legend, Bhai Mardana was sent three times to Wali Qandhari by (Guru Nanak) so that he would provide him with some water to quench his thirst. Wali Qandhari refused his request and was rude to him. In spite of this, Mardana still very politely stuck to his demand. The Wali ironically remarked : Why don't you ask your Master whom you serve?

Mardana went back to the Guru in a miserable state and said "Oh lord! I prefer death to thirst but will not approach Wali the egoist."

The Guru replied " Oh Bhai Mardana ! Repeat the Name of God, the Almighty; and drink the water to your heart's content."

The Guru put aside a big rock lying nearby and a pure fountain of water sprang up and began to flow endlessly. Bhai Mardana quenched his thirst and felt grateful to the Guru.

On the other hand, the fountain of Wali Qandhari dried up. On witnessing this, the Wali in his rage threw a part of a mountain towards the Guru from the top of the hill. The Guru stopped the hurled rock with his hand leaving his hand print in the rock.

Observing that miracle, Wali became the Guru's devotee.

This holy and revered place was named Panja Sahib by Hari Singh Nalwa, the most famous general of the Kingdom of the Sikhs. He is credited with having built the first gurdwara at this place.

During the British Rule in the Punjab They Management of Panja Sahib Went in to Hindu hands, and later In 1920 Sardar Kartar Singh Virk of Jhabbar Village in Sheikhupura District along with Sikhs Traveled To Panja Sahib and Took The Control of Panja Sahib from Hindu Mahant Mitha.
