This shabad is from sri Raag, and was composed by Guru Amardas ji, on Ang 34. The translation is by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa.

There is a curious translation question to consider. Would Waheguru "curse" any part of his creation? Yet, the translation of this tuk says some are cursed.


ਸਤਗੁਰੂ ਕਿਆ ਫਿਟਕਿਆ ਮੰਗਿ ਥਕੇ ਸੰਸਾਰਿ ॥
Saṯgurū kiā fitkiā mang thake sansār.
Cursed by the True Guru, they wander around the world begging, until they are exhausted


How could this be true? Could it be true? Let's think more deeply about the idea of being cursed. If feedback is energetic on this thread we can later on look at the Punjabi words for Curse and The Cursed.
