Old Skool Version Of Choupia Sahib

In all old Gutkas of Famous Gursikhs as such as Baba Deep Singh, The Bani of Choupia Sahib is different to all new versions. Below is the translation and video to the Bani.

A hymn by the tenth Guru. To be read like a poem

O Lord, protect me with Your Hand, thus my heart's desire be fulfilled.

May my mind ever seek the refuge of Your Feet, and You sustain me as Your very Own. ||1||

Vaheguru! Destroy all my enemies [diseased passions, instincts, impulses, evil thoughts, etc.] and protect me with Your Hand.

May my Khalsa-family live in peace. O Vaheguru! All my Sikhs are your sevaks (devotees). ||2||

O Vaheguru, extend Your Personal protection to me and kill all my enemies here and now.

May this wish of mine also be granted May the thirst for Your worship continue in me forever. ||3||

May I never ever forsake You to worship any other (deity). May I draw all the spiritual strength I desire, from You.

O Vaheguru! Make all my Sikhs and servants swim this world-ocean. Please single out our spiritual enemies and destroy them for good ||4||

Please give me Your Hand and save me. Destroy the fear of death from within me.

Please, be always on my side. O Wielder of the Great Sword of Justice: Please safeguard me (from my foes). ||5||

Protect me, O Protector Lord! O Beloved Lord Master of the Saints.

O Vaheguru! You are a friend of the weak, and the destroyer of the tyrants. O Vaheguru! You are the master of the entire universe.

Vaheguru gave a human body to Brahma. Even Shiva was ordained by Vaheguru to take human body like others.

Even Vishnu was made to take a human body by Vaheguru. The life of all the living (including Brahma, Vishnu & Shiva who once lived) is like a drama staged arranged by Vaheguru. ||7||

The Temporal Lord created Shiva, the Yogi. Vaheguru created Brahma, the Utterer of Vedas.

Who fashioned the entire Universe, I salute to Him alone. ||8||

God who created not only the entire universe, but also the divinities and the demons (the good and bad).

Vaheguru alone was in the beginning and will also be at the end of the Time. He alone is my Guru. ||9||

My salutations are to Vaheguru alone, who has created all His subjects and preserves them.

Vaheguru has blessed His devotees with all merits and happiness and destroys enemies [inner disharmony] instantaneously. ||10||

Vaheguru, Who is the inner Knower of all hearts, knows the sorrows of all creatures, good or bad.

Vaheguru casts His Graceful Glance on all from the meek ant to huge elephant and feels pleased. ||11||

Vaheguru is pained, when His saints are pained; and feels happiness when they are happy.

Vaheguru understands what pains each of the hearts of the creatures and their innermost workings. ||12||

When Vaheguru created the Universe, He created innumerable living beings (of different forms, in no time) on the earth.

Whenever Vaheguru contemplates ending the Universe, all the living (their souls) will merge in Him again. ||13||

All the (varied) human individuals You have created, recite Your Name and remember You as guided by their own understanding.

You remain detached to different religions and sects. The Vedas know this secret of Yours. Even the sages and saints are aware of this fact. ||14||

Vaheguru is Formless, Stainless and Self-reliant. Vaheguru is the Primal Power, Blemishless, Beginningless and does not take birth.

The fools claim boastfully about the knowledge of Vaheguru’s secrets, which even Vedas do not know. ||15||

The fools consider Vaheguru a stone, for they do not know the difference the lifeless stone and the living God.

People call Shiva, The Eternal Lord, and do not know the secret of the Formless Lord. ||16||

Every one according to his understanding, describes Vaheguru differently.

The limits of Your creation cannot be known, nor how in the beginning You created the Universes. ||17||

You are One, manifest in varied forms, as a poor man, rich manor a king.

You create the egg born, the sweat born, the earth born and the foetus born. ||18||

Somtimes Vaheguru sits joyfully as a well contented King. And at other times Vaheguru becomes a detached Sadhu, who has withdrawn himself from the world.

Vaheguru shows His miraculous deeds to all His creation of the Universe. Vaheguru, the Primal Power, born of Himself is since the beginning of beginning. ||19||

O Vaheguru, now keep me under Your protection, encourage my followers to flourish [in intellect and wisdom]

Destroy my enemies (negative thinking). All the evil doers who arise (in my mind), fight with them and destroy them there and then. ||20||

O Mighty Lord of the Sword, whosoever seeks Your protection, his enemies (evil passions) suffer pain and are destroyed.

The persons, who fall on Your Feet, You remove all their afflictions and troubles. ||21||

Those who meditate even once (with complete devotion) on You, the Supreme Destroyer, cannot be approached by Death.

They remain protected at all times. All their enemies and sorrows are removed instantaneously. ||22||

Upon whomsoever dawns Vaheguru’s Grace, their sins and afflictions are instantly removed.

They are blessed with all the earthly and spiritual treasures and no evil doer [deadly passions and sickly instinctual drives] can even touch their shadows. ||23||

O Vaheguru, he who remembers You even once, You save them from the noose of Death.

Whosoever meditates on Your Name, he overcomes his poverty, suffering and adversity. ||24||

The Lord of Sword (Knowledge), I seek Your protection. Protect me with Your Own Hands.

Extend Your support to me wherever I be, save me from the evil doers [evil thoughts and sins]. ||25||

The world-Mother blessed us with Her Mercy, and the Granth Sahib was made perfectly complete at the right time.

All sins and evil deeds are destroyed and erased. The wicked and the cruel are reduced to ashes.

When the Great, All-Powerful Sword became Merciful, The Granth Sahib was made perfectly complete.

Reading this, the mind's desires are fulfilled, And one shall not suffer pain again.

Arril.

Listening to this, the mute regains his tongue. Listening to this, the fool becomes intelligent.

Sorrow, pain and fear cannot come near that person who reads this Chaupayee, even just one time.

Chaupayee.

The year (in Bikrami years) was 1700. Add half of one hundred (50) and then three years – Meaning 1753 Bikarmi (1696 C.E.)

In the month of Bhaadro (mid-summer) on a bright Sunday morning and the eighth day of the month; This Baani (Chaupayee Sahib) was completed on the banks of the River Sutlej.

Quatrain

O Vaheguru! Since I have taken your shelter and refuge, I have never come under the menacing, dirty look of any person.

The Puraans, the Hindu scripture, praise and glorify Raam, and the Qur’an praises and glorifies Muhammad. Likewise, other religions talk of their own prophets and glorify them as God. I do not accept any of these.

Simritis, shastras and the four Vedas mention varied ways of realising God. O Vaheguru! I do not accept any of their ritual approaches.

It was through Vaheguru’s Grace (that Guru Gobind Singh Jee says) I was able to do Naam Simran and realise Vaheguru.

Dohraa

Having abandoned all other doors, I have come to Your door for protection and help.

O Vaheguru! I have held Your arm, I am Your servant a devotee.

Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji ki Fateh
