Sabad Patshahi 10 (Gurmukhi: ਸ਼ਬਦ ਹਜ਼ਾਰੇ ਪਾਤਿਸ਼ਾਹੀ ੧੦'','' also known as the Shabad Hazare Padishah), under the title Shabad (hymn), Shabad ( pa, ਸਬਦ), are ten religious hymns composed by Guru Gobind Singh that are present in Dasam Granth. These hymns have comments on ritualistic practices in Sanyas, Jogi (caste), Jogis and Bairagis, and also against any form of idolatry, human or deity worship.

Description

*These hymns are primarily composed in Braj [Written In Gurmukhi] and [Punjabi] languages, with plentiful use of Sanskrit words, except sixth hymn, which is composed in Punjabi language, Punjabi with some Persian language, Persian words. *Excluding the sixth, all other hymns have three ''Padash'' and ''Rahau'' (The Pause) placed in the beginning of the Shabads. *Sixth hymn was composed at Machhiwara whereas others were composed at Anandpur Sahib. The ordering of hymns was given by Bhai Mani Singh. *The only six Ragas present in Dasam Granth are in the title of hymns. *These Shabads deal with futility of asceticism, idolatry and attachment. *Shabad Hazare is a title given to collection of these Shabads. Though it is not present in main text and the meaning is not too clear but traditionally it is believed that each Shabad has the merit of a thousand. Some scholar link the word "hazare" word to the Persian word "Hazra" (lit. present).The Encyclopedia of Sikhism, H. S Singha, Hemkunt Press, 2000
