Origin & History
Source: Sri Guru Granth Sahib and Dasam Granth (compilation)
Author: Guru Nanak Dev Ji and successor Gurus; Guru Gobind Singh Ji
Rehras Sahib gathers the evening hymns of the Gurus — beginning with Guru Nanak’s “So Dar” — into the Sikh sunset prayer. Recited as light fades, it turns the heart in gratitude to God and asks for shelter and strength through the night.
