Could someone please tell me what Birha means. I would also like to know what word is most used in The Guru Granth Sahaib.
Regards Gurinder Pannu

1. The word 'Birha' (ਬਿਰਹਾ) means "separation from beloved", "pangs of separation", "love sickness". see this link and also see all the shabads with this word here. Please also see the article here - Birharhey Chhantan Ki Jat
2. The second question is a little more difficult - the word that is most used in the Guru Granth Sahib is.......
| Word in SGGS | word in English | Number of times |
|---|---|---|
| ਗਰ | Gur | 7500 |
| ਹਰਿ | her | 5804 |
| ਨਾਨਕ | Nanak | 5124 |
| ਨਾਮ | Naam | 5110 |
| ਸਤਿ | Sat | 2799 |
| ਰਹਾਉ | rahao | 2686 |
| ੴ | Ek onkar | 568 |
From the above table, it appears that the word "Gur" comes in at number one!!!
