کُج اونج وی راہواں اوکھیاں سَن

کُج گل وچ غم دا طوق وی سی

کُج شہر دے لوک وی ظالم سَن

کُج سانوں مرن دا شوق وی سی

ایڈیاں دردی اکھاں دے وچ

ہنجو بھرن نہ دیواں

وس چلے تے ایس جہاں وچ

کسے نوں مرن نہ دیواں

However this evil design could not be materialized due to BLESSING of WAHEGURU JI (Almighty Allah). The said bomb landed into Sri Khoo Sahib (Sacred Well) and this Darbar Sahib remained unheart. It is pertinent to mention that this is the same Sacred Well from where Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji used to get water to irrigate his fields."
