51. Think and remember those brave men and women who laid down their lives in the cause of dharam, who got their bodies chopped bit by bit, their scalps removed, who were tied on rotating wheels and crushed into pieces; who were sawn alive; those who sacrificed themselves to upkeep the dignity of the Gurdwaras; jin-haa(n) singh-aa(n) singh-nee-aa(n) ne dharam heyt sees dite, band band kat-taa-e, khop-ree-aa(n) lu-haa-eeaa(n), charak-ree-aa(n) te charre, aari-aa(n) naal ch-raa-e gi-e, gurd-vaari-aa(n) dee seva le-ee kurbaanee-aa(n) keetee-aa(n), dharam nehee haari-aa,

52. Those who did not betray the Sikh faith; kept their Sikh faith with their sacred Kes up to their last breath; utter O Khalsa Ji, Vaheguru. sikhi ke-saa(n), su-aa-saa(n) naal ni-baa-ee, tinaa(n) dee kamaa-ee daa dhi-aan dhar ke khaalsa jee! bolo jee vaaheguroo!

53. Turn your thoughts to the five Takhats (seats of Sikh authority) and all the Gurdwaras and utter O Khalsa, Vaheguru. panjaan takh-taa(n), sarbat gurd-vaari-aa(n) daa dhi-aan dhar ke, bolo jee vaaheguroo!

54. First, there is supplication for all the Khalsa Panth. May the Lord bestow upon His Khalsa the gift of His remembrance, Vaheguru, Vaheguru,Vaheguru, and may the merit of this remembrance be happiness of all kinds. prith-me sarbat khaalsa jee kee ardaas hai jee. sarbat khaalsa jee ko ‘vaaheguroo, vaaheguroo, vaaheguroo’ chit aave, chit aavan kaa sadkaa sarab sukh hove.

55. O God, wherever are the members of Khalsa, extend Your protection and mercy on them; let the Panth be ever victorious, let the sword be ever our protector. May the order of the Khalsa achieve ever- expanding progress and supremacy. Utter O Khalsa, Vaheguru. jaa-haa(n) jaa-haa(n) khaalsa jee saahib, taa-haa(n) taa- haa(n) rachhi-aa(n) ri-aa-et, degh tegh fateh, birad kee paij, panth kee jeet, siree saahib jee s-haa-e, khaalsa jee ke bol baale, bolo jee vaaheguroo!

56. May God grant to the Sikhs, the gift of faith, the gift of uncut hair, the Kesh, the gift of discipline, the gift of keeping high principles, the gift of mutual trust, the gift of self confidence and the supreme gift of all the gifts, the communion with Vaheguru, the Name, and the gift of bathing in Amritsar, sikhaa(n) noo sikhi daan, kes daan, rehat daan, bi-bek daan, vi-saah daan, bharosaa daan, daanaa(n) sir daan, naam daan, siree amritsar jee de ishnaan,

57. May the administrative centres, banners, the cantonments of Khalsa ever remain inviolate. May the cause of truth and justice prevail everywhere at all times, utter O Khalsa, Vaheguru. chaun-kee-aa(n), jhan-de, bunge, jugo jug attal, dharam kaa jaikaar, bolo jee vaaheguroo!!!

58. May the minds of Sikhs remain humble, and their wisdom exalted. Vaheguru you are the protector of wisdom. sikhaa da man neevaan, mat uchee. mat daa raa-kaa, aap vaaheguroo.

59. Almighty Lord! Our helper and protector ever, restore to us the right and privilege of unhindered and free service and access to Nankana Sahib and other centers of Sikh religion from which we have been separated. he akaal purkh, apne panth de sadaa s-haa-ee daataar jee-o! siree nan-kaa-naa saahib te hor gurd-vaari-aan gur-dhaamaan de, jin-haan to panth noo vichhori-aa gi-aa hai, khule darshan didaar, te seva sambaal daa daan khaalsa jee noo bakhsho.

60. God, the Helper of the helpless, the Strength of the weak, the Supporter of the fallen, the true father of all….[purpose of prayer] he ni-maani-aan de maan, ni-taani-aan de taan, ni-ohtti-aan dee ohtt, sache pitaa vaaheguroo! aap de hazoor ardaas hai jee…[purpose of the ardaas].

61. Forgive us O Lord, all our faults, extend Your helping hand to everyone. Grant us the company of those who may help keep Your Name fresh in our hearts. akhar vaadhaa ghaataa bhul chuk maaf karnee. sarbat de kaaraj raas karne. se-ee pi-aa-re meyl, jinaa(n) mili-aa teraa baam chit aave.

62. May Your Name, the religion preached by Nanak, prevail and prosper forever and ever more. May everyone prosper and benefit within Your Will. The Khalsa belongs to God and to Him the victory, always and forever. naanak naam chardee-kalaa, tere bhaane sarbat daa bhalaa. vaaheguroo jee ka khaalsa, vaaheguroo jee kee fateh.

63. As was ordained by the Timeless, thus was established the path (Panth). To all Sikhs, let this be the order, recognise the ‘Holy Granth’ as your Guru. Dohira: aagi-aa bhe-ee akaal kee, tabai chal-aa-o panth. sabh sikhan ko hukam hai, guroo maani-o granth.

64. The reverend Guru Granth is the visible body of the Gurus. Those that seek to have union with God should delve the Divine Hymns of the Shabad Guru. guroo granth jee maani-o, pragat guraa kee deh. jo prabh ko mil-bo ch-hai, khoj shabad mil leh.

65. The Sikh people shall remain free and sovereign, always, non-challenging this position. For, all shall realise, after bitter frustration, that there is no redemption except in the way of the life that the Khalsa upholds! raaj karega khaalsa, aakee r-hai naa ko-e. kvaar ho-e sabh milehn-ge, bache sharan jo ho-e.

66. “Those who respond shall be blessed”: True is the Immortal Lord ! The Khalsa belongs to God and to Him the victory, always and forever. “bole so ni-haal”: sat siree akaal! vaaheguroo jee ka khaalsa, vaaheguroo jee kee fateh.
