'''Asa Di Var''' is a collection of 24 [[Stanza|stanzas]] (''pauris'') in the [[Guru Granth Sahib]], from ang 462 to ang 475.

Some people argue that the founder of Sikhism, [[Guru Nanak Dev]], wrote the first 9 stanzas together on one occasion and later wrote 15 more on a different occasion; however, some Sikh scholars believe that the whole ''[[vaar]]'' was written at the same place as the ''vaar'' itself proceeds in a definite uniformity. The whole ''vaar'' was compiled by [[Guru Arjan]], the fifth Guru, in 1604 AD.

== Overview ==
When Guru Arjan was compiling the Guru Granth Sahib, he added a few [[Shloka|''sloks'']] of Guru Nanak and in some cases [[Guru Angad]], the second Guru. These sloks are tied together in a way that they relate to the same theme as highlighted in the pauri. In its present form, the ''Asa Di Var'' contains a few more shabads recited by [[Guru Ram Das]], the fourth Sikh Guru.

The ''Asa Di Var'' [[kirtan]] is recited in the early morning hours in a very melodious way and style as mentioned by Guru Arjan called "Tunde Asraje Ki Dhuni" after the name of the contemporary King Asraj, whose one hand was amputated, thus ''tunda'' meaning 'one-hand amputated'. The deeds and the ode of this king was sung by the bards in that typical fashion which then was extremely popular and melodious and was therefore adopted to performing ''Asa Di Var''.
