ਅਕਾਲ ਉਸਤਤਿ: ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹੀ ੧੦
ਕੋਊ ਭਇਓ ਮੰਡੀਆ ਸੰਨੀਆਸੀ, ਕੋਊ ਜੋਗੀ ਭਇਓ।
ਕੋਊ ਬਰਹਮਚਾਰੀ, ਕੋਊ ਜਤੀ ਅਨਮਾਨਬੋ ।
ਹਿੰਦੂ ਤਰਕ ਕੋਊ ਰਾਫਜੀ ਇਮਾਮ ਸ਼ਾਫੀ, ਮਾਨਸ ਕੀ ਜਾਤ ਸਬੈ ਇਕੈ ਪਹਚਾਨਬੋ ।
ਕਰਤਾ ਕਰੀਮ ਸੋਈ ਰਾਜਕ ਰਹੀਮ ਓਈ, ਦੂਸਰੋ ਨ ਭੇਦ ਕੋਈ ਭੂਲ ਭਰਮ ਮਾਨਬੋ ।
ਝਕ ਹੀ ਕੀ ਸੇਵ, ਸਭ ਹੀ ਕੋ ਗਰਦੇਵ ਝਕ, ਝਕ ਹੀ ਸਰੂਪ, ਸਬੈ ਝਕੈ ਜੋਤ ਜਾਨਬੋ ॥
Translation
One may by shaving his head, Hope to become a holy monk,
Another sets up as a Yogi; Or some other kind of ascetic.
Some call themselves Hindu; Others call themselves Musulman,
Among these there are the Shiahs, There are the Sunis also.
And yet man is of one race in all the world;
God as Creator and God as Good, God is His Bounty and God is His Mercy,
Is all one God, Even in our errors, We should not separate God from God!
Worship the One God, For all men the One Divine Teacher,
All men have the same forum, All men have the same Soul.
(Guru Gobind Singh in Akal Ustat)
