ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
ikOankaar satigur prasaadh ||
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
ਸੰਤਨ ਅਵਰ ਨ ਕਾਹੂ ਜਾਨੀ ॥
sa(n)tan avar na kaahoo jaanee ||
The Saints do not know any other.
ਬੇਪਰਵਾਹ ਸਦਾ ਰੰਗਿ ਹਰਿ ਕੈ ਜਾ ਕੋ ਪਾਖੁ ਸੁਆਮੀ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
beparavaeh sadhaa ra(n)g har kai jaa ko paakh suaamee || rahaau ||
They are carefree, ever in the Lord's Love; the Lord and Master is on their side. ||Pause||
ਊਚ ਸਮਾਨਾ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਤੇਰੋ ਅਵਰ ਨ ਕਾਹੂ ਤਾਨੀ ॥
uooch samaanaa Thaakur tero avar na kaahoo taanee ||
Your canopy is so high, O Lord and Master; no one else has any power.
ਐਸੋ ਅਮਰੁ ਮਿਲਿਓ ਭਗਤਨ ਕਉ ਰਾਚਿ ਰਹੇ ਰੰਗਿ ਗਿਆਨੀ ॥੧॥
aaiso amar milio bhagatan kau raach rahe ra(n)g giaanee ||1||
Such is the immortal Lord and Master the devotees have found; the spiritually wise remain absorbed in His Love. ||1||
ਰੋਗ ਸੋਗ ਦੁਖ ਜਰਾ ਮਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਜਨਹਿ ਨਹੀ ਨਿਕਟਾਨੀ ॥
rog sog dhukh jaraa maraa har janeh nahee nikaTaanee ||
Disease, sorrow, pain, old age and death do not even approach the humble servant of the Lord.
ਨਿਰਭਉ ਹੋਇ ਰਹੇ ਲਿਵ ਏਕੈ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਨੀ ॥੨॥੧॥
nirabhau hoi rahe liv ekai naanak har man maanee ||2||1||
They remain fearless, in the Love of the One Lord; O Nanak, they have surrendered their minds to the Lord. ||2||1||
End of the Hukamnama
Past seven days
What is a Hukamnama?
Each morning at Sri Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar, after Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is opened with prayer, the Granthi reads the shabad at the top of the left page the Guru opens to. That shabad is the Hukamnama, the Guru's order for the day. The word joins hukam, an order, and nama, a letter.
It is taken once and shared everywhere, so a Sikh in Amritsar and one in California read the same shabad that day. Many Sikhs read it after their morning Nitnem, or listen to it on the way to work, and carry a line of it through the day.
This page shows the day's Hukamnama in Gurmukhi with a transliteration and English translation, and the recording of it when one is available. The Simran app brings it to your phone each morning, with the lock screen widget showing the first line where you will see it first.
Frequently asked questions
What time is the Hukamnama taken?
It is taken at Sri Harmandir Sahib early in the morning, India time, and appears here soon after. India is twelve and a half hours ahead of California and five and a half hours ahead of London, so by the clock in North America the new Hukamnama usually arrives the evening before.
Why does the date look a day ahead of mine?
The date is the day in Amritsar, where the Hukamnama is taken. When it is Tuesday morning there it is still Monday evening in most of the Americas.
Can I read an earlier Hukamnama?
The past seven days are listed above. Each opens that day's full shabad in Gurmukhi with transliteration and English.
How do I get the Hukamnama on my lock screen?
The Simran app has a Daily Hukamnama widget for the lock screen on iPhone and Android. Add it once and the day's shabad is there each morning. The lock screen widget page walks through the setup.
