Prof Sahib Singh on Fareed Sahib's Image

I am appending below Professor Sahib singh's translation of the Gurbani title of the Image.Whatever worth it may be as readily available input for progressing/improving this article further.

Prof Sahib singh in one of his writings has commented on the Graphic part of the article not very favourably. Of hand I am not able to give you a reference. I will look for it & be back.

He cnsiders the graphic being rather mythological as the term crow in the context of the lines refer to wordly temptations(kaam ,Krodh,Lobh ,Moh & Ahenkar ete) rather than actual crows.

He further observes that, the apparently sorry & pathetic looking presentation of the saint is not warrented.Fareed Sahib lying on floor in a way helplessly pleeading before the crows to spare his eyes no way goes with the spirit of Gurmat & towering soldierly personality profile (as stands out from Fareed Sahib's Writings).

Apprehentions

Needless for me to mention that mythology has no place in SGGS,Sikhi & Sikh expressions through any media.

The artist's classical imagination & flawless epression translating the literlas of the gurbani lines in a masterpeice painting not withstanding, it remains a literal translation.

SikhiWiki being in socially universal domain, the implications of the 'graphic' sending wrong messages to the not very educated(say rural Indians, for sure, who as it is live in Indian environmencant, where masses breathe mythology (not air) to stay alive)

Anti Sikh media/elements may tend to draw extra socio-political advantages in the wrong direction.

My thoughts are guided by Sahib Singh Ji. Do share your view & let me know if this Mutia in any way can do better.
