Deh Shiva Bar Mohe (ਦੇਹ ਸਿਵਾ ਬਰ ਮੋਹੇ) is a 17th-century hymn (shabad) written by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, in the Dasam Granth. It is one of the most celebrated and widely quoted hymns or shabad by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru. It is a verse taken from Chandi Charitar which describes the glory of Shakti (Feminine Divinity), a section of the Dasam Granth. The composition is a rousing, inspirational call to steadfastly act with courage and righteously despite seemingly insurmountable odds. The language used is Braj Bhasha.
Lyrics
- ਦੇਹਿ ਸਿਵਾ ਬਰੁ ਮੋਹਿ ਇਹੈ ਸੁਭ ਕਰਮਨ ਤੇ ਕਬਹੂ ਨ ਟਰੋਂ ॥
- ਨ ਡਰੋਂ ਅਰਿ ਸੋ ਜਬ ਜਾਇ ਲਰੋਂ ਨਿਸਚੈ ਕਰਿ ਅਪੁਨੀ ਜੀਤ ਕਰੋਂ ॥
- ਅਰੁ ਸਿਖ ਹੋਂ ਆਪਨੇ ਹੀ ਮਨ ਕੌ ਇਹ ਲਾਲਚ ਹਉ ਗੁਨ ਤਉ ਉਚਰੋਂ ॥
- ਜਬ ਆਵ ਕੀ ਅਉਧ ਨਿਦਾਨ ਬਨੈ ਅਤਿ ਹੀ ਰਨ ਮੈ ਤਬ ਜੂਝ ਮਰੋਂ ॥੨੩੧॥
- देह शिवा बर मोहे ईहे, शुभ कर्मन ते कभुं न टरूं
- न डरौं अरि सौं जब जाय लड़ौं, निश्चय कर अपनी जीत करौं,
- अरु सिख हों आपने ही मन कौ इह लालच हउ गुन तउ उचरों,
- जब आव की अउध निदान बनै अति ही रन मै तब जूझ मरों
Context
The entire 'Chandi di Vaar' is a graphic violent battlefield scene written by tenth Guru Shri Guru Gobind Singh ji, with the primary intent of encouraging Sikhs to confront horrific scenes they would experience in forthcoming battles to defend human rights and religion, the path of righteousness. In first line ie "deh siva var mohe hain subh karmn te kabhu na dru" here Guruji says to ask Shiva (here, Shiva refers to Ma Chandi) to bless (var) the one offering the prayer to have enough courage to never shy away from an auspicious task or responsibility (shubh karman).
