Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 66
|
|
Santan te kai zulm kamaye mazhaban de saiyadan ne;
Kandhan de vich chunvaye kai sharah dean jalladan ne.
Kayi chadhaye suli utte lohan te bithlaye kayi;
Duniyan mil ke sant janan te ik nahin julm kamaye kayi.
Avtar bhagat par mannade rahe ne apna kul jamane nun;
Aukarh dukh musibat jhalli mittha mann ke bhane nun.
|
The religious fanatics perpetrated countless brutalities upon the saints;
Several were bricked alive in the walls by religious bigots.
Several were crucified, while others were made to sit on hot-plates;
The people of the world conspired and committed not one but many atrocities on the saints.
Avtar says, the devouts, however, always treated the whole world as their own;
They faced all the odds and ordeals, and cheerfully accepted the will of God.
