Compiled by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, utilizing the writings of Guru Nanak, Guru Angad and Guru Ramdas to create this Ballad of Hope [Asa Ki Vaar] which was then became established to be sung daily in the early hours of the day.

This version is sped up & has no shabads in between which makes this version only 70 minutes long - great to listen to in the morning when getting ready.
