∙ 12y agoThe Guru Granth Sahib or the Adi Granth is the holy text of the Sikhs. It contains prayers and hymns from the 10 Sikh Gurus. Its contents are referred to as bani or Gurbani (guru-enlightener/guide bani-words). An individual hymn is a Shabad.
The Guru Granth Sahib incorporates teachings of people from various communities, castes, religions and regions of the country. This means that the language of the Granth is a combination of many different Aryan languages and dialects but the script is written exclusively in Gurmukhi. Guru Arjan Dev ji, unlike many other religious leaders, believed that god can be attained with devotion through the medium of any language therefore there is no 'one' sacred language.
As Sikh hymns are from the Guru Granth Sahib their languages may vary but in the Granth they are written in Gurumukhi (Most common script used for writing Punjabi language).

Among the remaining 922 hymns of Bhagats, the highest number of hymns (541) is by Kabir. Music forms the basis of the classification of the hymns. Under each Rag, the hymns are arranged in the following order : 1. Chaupadas-hymns of four verses. 2. Ashtapadas-hymns of eight verses. 3. Long poems. 4. Chhants-Verses of six lines. 5. Short poems. ...Most of the hymns are about praising God , or teachings of the Guru's , "Kabir" being an exception , because he was not a Sikh but a man who believed in God and expressed it through poetical rhyme .Being born into a Muslim community , Kabir was capable of being objective from Islam & Islamic culture , this enabled him to identify classics of the human predicament in context to his acknowledgement of an immortal God , this and his humble observations endeared him to the Sikh Guru's. This link is to YouTube , there is a Sikh prayer there , that has very clear and well thought out English subtitles .I couldn't find a good subtitled hymn , but basically Sikh "raagis" disciples of Sikhism who devote there lives to singing Sikh hymns , they can turn the most simplest prayer into a melody of most amazing harmony. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoEjmiga92Y&feature=related
