<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>Al&#257h&#7751&#299</i> is also a poetic form in Punjabi in the style of this mourning song. The strain may alter with the subject. Gur&#363 N&#257nak employed this mode in his <i>b&#257&#7751&#299</i>, as he adopted several other popular and folk forms. Five of his <i>&#347abdas</i> (hymns) included in the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib in R&#257ga Va&#7693aha&#7749s (pp. 578 to 582) are entitled <i>Al&#257h&#7751&#299&#257&#7749</i>. In these hymns, the sovereignty of God's Will is proclaimed. By implication, the customs of <i>si&#257p&#257</i> and <i>al&#257h&#7751&#299&#257&#7749</i> are deprecated. One must not give way to idle wailing, but learn to accept what has been ordained by the Almighty. The reality of death is brought home to man. "As man hath come into this world, so must he depart?" The recitation of <i>Al&#257hn&#299&#257&#7749</i> brings solace to the grief-afflicted soul and leads it to seek shelter in God. Surrender to His Will is the burden of this verse. "None ever die with the dead, " says Gur&#363 N&#257nak. "Blessed is he who praises the Lord's merits and weeps in fear of Him. They who bewail by remembering Him are through the ages acknowledged wise.

<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The poetic metre used in <i>Al&#257h&#7751&#299&#257&#7749</i> corresponds the tune in which this folk form is cast. It is a kind of <i>duvaiy&#257 chhand</i>, in which last line of each <i>&#347abda</i> echoes the burden of the in the first part of <i>Al&#257h&#7751&#299&#257&#7749</i>. The language is S&#257dh Bh&#257kh&#257 with a strong flavour of Lahnd&#299 dialect. Alliteration has been used and new compounds formed to make the lines musical. Some of the verses convey the eternal truths in such homely yet terse language that they have become part of Punjabi speech. For instance: "<i>jeh&#257 likh&#299&#257 teh&#257 p&#257i&#257</i>" as is it foreordained for one, so does one receive, and "<i>ko mara n&#257 moi&#257 n&#257le&#8221 </i> - none ever die with the dead.</p>਍㰀⼀昀漀渀琀㸀ഀഀ
