I am a Sikh

I am proud to be a Sikh

I was born to be a Sikh

And I will always remain a Sikh.

who made us Sikhs”

Guru Nanak Dev ji made us Sikhs.

Five centuries ago, Guruji said

Arise and Awake

For you are equal.

All men and women are equal.

You shall have no caste

You shall have no ritual.

You shall believe, in no living God

You shall believe

Only in Akalpurkh.

Remember, Guru Nanak Dev ji said.

You will have three duties

First, he said

Naam japo

Worship and meditate

And seek God’s grace,

So God may bless you.

Secondly, he said

Kirat Karo

Work hard and do not seek favors

Live by your labors

And your labors alone.

And thirdly, Guru Nanak Dev ji said

“Vand Chako”

Care and share

Give to those in need

For they too

Arae God’s children

Offer hope and offer love

For the world will be won

Only by love.

So it was Guru Nanak Dev ji

Who made us Sikhs.

I am a Sikh

I was born a Sikh

And I am proud to be the Guru’s

Sikh,

From the Sikhs, we became the

Khalsa

Who made the Khalsa?

Guru Gobind Singh ji made the

Khalsa.

1699, the Khalsa was born.

Guru Gobind Singh ji

Gave us Khanday Da Amrit.

Khanddaa, the double-edged

sword

‘The twin edges of truth and justice,

And then Guru Gobind Singh ji

Gave us the 5 K’s

K is for Kesh

K is for Kanga

K is for Kaccha

K is for Kara

K is for Kirpan.

Guru Gobind Singh ji made sure

That the Khalsa would be

The order of the pure.

The Khalsa would be visible.

The Khalsa would be moral

The Khalsa would always

uphold truth and justice,

The Khalsa would always and

always

Be the defenders of faith,

And so today

Who is a Sikh?

What does Sikh stand for?

S is for sincerity and spirituality

lis for integrity and independence

K is for Khalistan, the Sikh

Homeland

& His for Human Rights

Human Rights not just for Sikhs

but for all the people in the world,

And so today

Who is a Khalsa?

And what does Khalsa stand for?

K is for Khalsa and Khalistan

The order of the pure

And the Land of the order of the

pure

His for A grade to be achieved

for more excellence.

Remember, that’s what our

Guru’s said.

L is for Love for all mankind

Moras kee jat Subhay ek hie

pehchanbo

S is for strength and courage and

bravery

Sura so peh chaneay jo laray deen

kay haet

And A, at the end, is for all,

for, the Khalsa Panth is for all,

and Sikhism is for all

And so the Sikh and Khalsa to

me are the same.

I am a Sikh

I am a Khalsa

I was born to be a Sikh

I will always remain a Khalsa

I am proud to be a Sikh

I am proud to be a Khalsa

Hail to our Gurus, who made

us Sikhs and Khalsas.

Saray bolo jee

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa. WIF
