Govind Singh – The Last Guru Poem by Vikram G. Aarella

You were an ordinary sage
Fed up with the atrocities of your time,
You rose up to take revenge
Against, the intolerant Mogul Regime.

You gave Sikh religion a shape and aim
Created warriors out of ordinary men,
To fight the Mogul engine of crime
You took the mantle of Guru Number ten.

For the sake of religion and country
The sacrifices your people made were great,
They became the guarding gentry
Of the people of the Punjab state.

Khalsa, is like sword to us
I accept you as my Guru,
You saved the country from abuse
You are the son of soil, true.



Guru Govind Singh was the tenth and last Guru of Sikh religion; he created the Khalsa- the Sikh army, to fight the intolerant Muslim Mogul of India.
