Some writers have wrongly said that this whole shabad is by Bhagat Surdas Ji. Infact the only part that is by Bhagat Surdas Ji is the line:</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniLipi'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Cwif mn hir ibmuKn ko sMgu ]</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Cchaad mun har bimukhan ko sung.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">O mind, do not even associate with those who have turned their backs on the Lord. </span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">The rest of the shabad was written by Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji. Just by reading the first line by Bhagat Surdas Ji it is not possible to tell who it is written by. Normally in Bani, whoever it is written by, their name appears within the Bani or before it. But not in this case. The answer to this lies in the shabad written by Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji.</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">After Bhagat Surdas Ji’s line it is written:</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniLipi'"><span style="font-size: 12px">swrMg mhlw 5 sUrdws ]</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Sarang Mahala 5 Surdass.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">SAARANG, FIFTH MEHL, SUR DAAS: </span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">This explains who wrote the shabad.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Saarang means the raag in which the shabad is to be sung.</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Mahala 5 (Fifth Mehl) – means that the following shabad is by Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji.</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Surdas – means the shabad is addressed to Bhagat Surdas Ji and is a follow on from his line.</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">And also, near the end of the shabads by Guru Sahib, the word Nanak appears. Here it is replaced by Surdas, which gives some the misinterpretation that it is by Bhagat Surdas Ji. This is infact Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji addressing Bhagat Surdas Ji as his ideology is in coherence with Bhagat Ji’s. This shabad is in support of Bhagat Surdas Ji’s one verse.</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Analysis of Bhagat Surdas Ji’s verse:</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniLipi'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Cwif mn hir ibmuKn ko sMgu ]</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Cchaad mun har bimukhan ko sung.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">O mind, do not even associate with those who have turned their backs on the Lord. </span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">This is telling the Gursikh not to mix with those people who oppose God.

Some writers have wrongly said that this whole shabad is by Bhagat Surdas Ji. Infact the only part that is by Bhagat Surdas Ji is the line:[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=GurbaniLipi][size=3]Cwif mn hir ibmuKn ko sMgu ][/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Cchaad mun har bimukhan ko sung.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]O mind, do not even associate with those who have turned their backs on the Lord. [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]The rest of the shabad was written by Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji. Just by reading the first line by Bhagat Surdas Ji it is not possible to tell who it is written by. Normally in Bani, whoever it is written by, their name appears within the Bani or before it. But not in this case. The answer to this lies in the shabad written by Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]After Bhagat Surdas Ji’s line it is written:[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=GurbaniLipi][size=3]swrMg mhlw 5 sUrdws ][/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Sarang Mahala 5 Surdass.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]SAARANG, FIFTH MEHL, SUR DAAS: [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]This explains who wrote the shabad.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Saarang means the raag in which the shabad is to be sung.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Mahala 5 (Fifth Mehl) – means that the following shabad is by Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Surdas – means the shabad is addressed to Bhagat Surdas Ji and is a follow on from his line.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]And also, near the end of the shabads by Guru Sahib, the word Nanak appears. Here it is replaced by Surdas, which gives some the misinterpretation that it is by Bhagat Surdas Ji. This is infact Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji addressing Bhagat Surdas Ji as his ideology is in coherence with Bhagat Ji’s. This shabad is in support of Bhagat Surdas Ji’s one verse.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Analysis of Bhagat Surdas Ji’s verse:[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=GurbaniLipi][size=3]Cwif mn hir ibmuKn ko sMgu ][/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Cchaad mun har bimukhan ko sung.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]O mind, do not even associate with those who have turned their backs on the Lord.
