O Creator: Listen | Persian Voice in the Guru Granth Sahib
from The Sikh Cast · host Sikh Research Institute
ਯਕ ਅਰਜ ਗੁਫਤਮ ਪੇਸਿ ਤੋ ਦਰ ਗੋਸ ਕੁਨ ਕਰਤਾਰ ॥ yak araj guphatam pesi to dar gos kun kartār. یک عرض گفتم پس تو در گوش کن کرتار . I said one supplication so You listen, O Creator. ~~~ In this transcreation, the original Gurmukhi is followed by an English transcription to guide the pronunciation of the Sabad (Divine-Word) in its original form. Persian as written in Gurmukhi script and Perso-Arabic script often entails different spellings and pronunciations of words with the same meaning, and as such the Persian transcription is written with spellings that allow a modern-day Persian reader to understand the text. This Sabad grounds itself in Persian and Islamic religious references. For the sabads written in fluent Persian, the Perso-Arabic script will be styled for a modern-day Persian speaker to read and understand. For the sabads infused with Persian vocabulary, the focus is transcription. Read the article Listen at SikhRI's website Featuring: Asha Marie Kaur #PersianVoice #Sabad #Politics #Poetics #SikhCast
