Tilak Janju Rakha Prabh Ta Ka

Since I won't be able to do kirtan at the Gurdwara tomorrow, I recorded this shabad for Guru Teg Bahadur Ji’s Shaheedi. 


In the Dasam Granth, Guru Gobind Singh Ji writes this shabad about Guru Teg Bahadur Ji below:

thilak ja(n)n(j)oo raakhaa prabh thaakaa. keeno baddo kaloo mehi saakaa. 
saadhhan haeth eithee jin karee. sees dheeaa par see n oucharee (13)
dhharam haeth saakaa jin keeaa. sees dheeaa par sirar n dheeaa. 
naattak chaettak keeeae kukaajaa. prabh logan keh aavath laajaa (14)
dhoharaa
t(h)eekar for dhilees sir prabh pur keeaa payaan. thaeg behaadhar see kriaa karee n kinehoo(n) aan (15)
thaeg behaadhar kae chalath bhayo jagath ko sok. hai hai hai sabh jag bhayo jai jai jai sur lok (16)

He protected the forehead mark and sacred thread (of the Hindus) which marked a great event in the Iron age.
For the sake of saints, he laid down his head without even a sigh. (13)
For the sake of Dharma, he sacrificed himself. He laid down his head but not his creed (principles).
The saints of the Lord abhor the performance of miracles and malpractices. (14)
DOHRA
Breaking the potsherd of his body head of the king of Delhi (Aurangzeb), He left for the abode of the Lord.
None could perform such a feat as that of Tegh Bahadur. (15)
The whole world bemoaned the departure of Tegh Bahadur.
While the world lamented, the gods hailed his arrival in heavens. (16)
