Shabad Hazaarae is the Bani of longing for the beloved Guru. It was written by Guru Arjan when he was separated from Guru Ram Das, his father for a duration of time.

During that period of separation he sent these three letters to his beloved Guru and Father expressing his longing for the "blessed vision of the Guru".

It is an ultimate in the expression of love and longing for the Divine Guru.
