[QUOTE="ActsOfGod, post: 193449, member: 18366"] Yes I think Ishna understood the intention of my original question. I got the structured part of the Ardas, my question was regarding the free-form or unstructured part, the open-ended part where you can speak whats in your heart. I understand that it comes from the heart, and nobody can write it for you or tell you what you need to say. My query was more about just getting a sample or example of certain common phrases or language, for example during a Gurpurab, etc. Taking that as a base, as a foundation, I would customize it and make it my own, personal prayer coming from my heart. I have a couple of reasons for this. I am not very fluent in Punjabi, and it is not easy for me to come up with the right words that I wish to express since my vocabulary is still limited. I am learning and getting better, though (and this is part of my learning and will help). Also, I don't want to be inadvertently saying things in Ardas that might be a faux pas or inappropriate for the occasion. In that vein, I want to make sure that whatever I say conveys the respect and humility I am feeling. I just don't have the appropriate vocabulary yet, although I have heard some Singhs and Kaurs speak very eloquently when they do Ardas, sometimes it brings tears to your eyes. I just want to get better. This is not about following rules or "doing it right" or anything like that. I just want to be able to express myself and use the vocabulary which conveys what I feel. So, I just wanted to ask for some samples. And of course if it doesn't ring true for me, I wouldn't use it. Some things I have heard so far are: "Aap ji di seva kar dey hoay, anek galtheeain ho gayean, anjaan bachey samajkay, khima karnee." "Aap ji da kot aankot dhanvadh hay, char pahar sukh naal barath gay." "Har maydhaan Fateh karnee." "Kaam Krodh Lobh Moh Ahankaar toh bachaona." "Chardi kala bakshnee, Gursikhi jeevan bakshna." "Jo aap ji nay kiya, so vah! vah! Jo aap ji karday ho, so vah! vah!, jo aap ji nay karna hai, so vah! vah!" "Hum marray hain, papi hain, jo vee hain, hum aap ji kay hain." "Hum papi aap bakshanhaar, Mehar kar kay baksh layo." I just want to incorporate what I feel rings true for me in my personal Ardas, and also know how to perform an Ardas in front of sangat without freaking out that I won't have the appropriate words to say. I personally feel it's important because I want to do honor to the sacred Ardas and at least be able to deliver it in an appropriate manner. Just a final note regarding language: in my personal Ardas I usually switch to English in the free-form portion because my (limited) Punjabi vocabulary usually fails me rather quickly. I am increasing my use of Punjabi though, as I learn more words, because I feel that it's more elegant and can convey emotions, thoughts, and feelings more accurately and in a more heartfelt way than English. Just my personal opinion/experience. Thanks everyone for your input, it is valued and appreciated! Guru Fateh! [/QUOTE]
