Deh Shiva Bar Mohe Eha (Gurmukhi: ਦੇਹ ਸਿਵਾ ਬਰ ਮੋਹਿ ਇਹੈ) is one of the most celebrated and widely quoted hymns by Guru Gobind Singh.
[1] It is taken from the Chandi Charitar Ukati Bilas composition of the Dasam Granth, and is generally understood as being composed by Guru Gobind Singh.
[4][5] The composition has been interpreted by some, such as Rajinder Sareen, as evidence that the Guru was a Shaivist, but this has been disputed by others, such as Karnail Singh, as a misinterpretation of the meaning of the verses.
Karnail Singh also claims that in-actuality, the hymn was written by Shyam, allegedly one of the fifty two poets in the court of the tenth master.
जब आव की अउध निदान बनै अति ही रन मै तब जूझ मरों ॥دیہہ شِوا بَرُ موہِ ایہے سُبھ (شُبھ) کَرَمَن تے کَبَہُو نہ ٹَرو؎- نہ ڈرو اَرِ سو جب جائی لَروں نِسَچَے کَرِ اَپُنی جِیت کَروں ؎۔ اَرُ سِکھ ہوں آپنے ہی من کَو اِیہہ لالَچ ہَؤُ گُن تَؤُ اُچَروں ؎- جب آوْ کی اَؤدھ نِدان بَنَے اَتِ ہی رَن مَے تب جُجھ مروں ؎۔O Siva, (Epithet for the almighty) give me this boon, May I never ever shirk from doing good deeds, that I shall not fear when I go into combat.
