ਜੁੱਧ ਜਿਤੇ ਇਨਹੀ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਇਨਹੀ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਸੁ ਦਾਨ ਕਰੇ ॥
जुद्ध जिते इनही के प्रसादि इनही के प्रसादि सु दान करे ॥
Judh jite inhee ke prasaad, inhee ke prasaad su daan kare.
By their grace I have won my battles; by their grace I have been able to give in charity.
2
ਅਘ ਅਉਘ ਟਰੈ ਇਨਹੀ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਇਨਹੀ ਕੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਫੁਨ ਧਾਮ ਭਰੇ ॥
अघ अउघ टरै इनही के प्रसादि इनही की क्रिपा फुन धाम भरे ॥
Agh augh tarai inhee ke prasaad, inhee kee kirpaa fun dhaam bhare.
By their grace my heaps of sins have been washed away; by their kindness my home is filled with plenty.
3
ਇਨਹੀ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਸੁ ਬਿਦਿਆ ਲਈ ਇਨਹੀ ਕੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਸਭ ਸਤ੍ਰ ਮਰੇ ॥
इनही के प्रसादि सु बिदिआ लई इनही की क्रिपा सभ सत्र मरे ॥
Inhee ke prasaad su bidiaa laee, inhee kee kirpaa sabh satr mare.
By their grace I have gained knowledge; by their kindness all my enemies have been overcome.

Title lineਇਨਹੀ ਕੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕੇ ਸਜੇ ਹਮ ਹੈ ਨਹੀ ਮੋ ਸੇ ਗਰੀਬ ਕਰੋਰ ਪਰੇ ॥੨॥
इनही की क्रिपा के सजे हम है नही मो से गरीब करोर परे ॥२॥
Inhee kee kirpaa ke saje ham hai, nahee mo se gareeb karor pare. ||2||
It is by their grace that I am adorned as I am; otherwise there are millions of humble people like me. ||2||
5
ਸੇਵ ਕਰੀ ਇਨਹੀ ਕੀ ਭਾਵਤ ਅਉਰ ਕੀ ਸੇਵ ਸੁਹਾਤ ਨ ਜੀਕੋ ॥
सेव करी इनही की भावत अउर की सेव सुहात न जीको ॥
Sev karee inhee kee bhaavat, aur kee sev suhaat na jeeko.
I love to serve them; serving anyone else does not please my heart.
6
ਦਾਨ ਦਯੋ ਇਨਹੀ ਕੋ ਭਲੋ ਅਰੁ ਆਨ ਕੋ ਦਾਨ ਨ ਲਾਗਤ ਨੀਕੋ ॥
दान दयो इनही को भलो अरु आन को दान न लागत नीको ॥
Daan dayo inhee ko bhalo, ar aan ko daan na laagat neeko.
A gift given to them is well given; a gift given elsewhere does not seem right.
7
ਆਗੈ ਫਲੈ ਇਨਹੀ ਕੋ ਦਯੋ ਜਗ ਮੈ ਜਸੁ ਅਉਰ ਦਯੋ ਸਭ ਫੀਕੋ ॥
आगै फलै इनही को दयो जग मै जसु अउर दयो सभ फीको ॥
Aagai falai inhee ko dayo, jag mai jas aur dayo sabh feeko.
What is given to them bears fruit hereafter and brings honour in this world; all other giving is pale beside it.

ਮੋ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਮੈ ਤਨ ਤੇ ਮਨ ਤੇ ਸਿਰ ਲਉ ਧਨ ਹੈ ਸਬ ਹੀ ਇਨਹੀ ਕੋ ॥੩॥
मो ग्रिह मै तन ते मन ते सिर लउ धन है सब ही इनही को ॥३॥
Mo grih mai tan te man te sir lau dhan hai sab hee inhee ko. ||3||
My home, my body, my mind, my wealth — even my head — all of it belongs to them. ||3||
Gurbani is quoted from Sri Dasam Granth Sahib, Ang 716. English renderings draw on the Sant Singh Khalsa translation and are lightly clarified for readers new to Gurbani.
Meaning
Inhi Ki Kirpa Ke Saje Hum Hain — meaning
“Inhi Ki Kirpa Ke Saje Hum Hain” (ਇਨਹੀ ਕੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕੇ ਸਜੇ ਹਮ ਹੈ) translates as “It is by their grace that I am adorned as I am.” The word inhi means “these” or “of these people”, and throughout the shabad it points to the Sikhs — the Khalsa. Every line of the composition gives the credit for a victory, a gift, a lesson learned or an enemy overcome not to the Guru himself but to the grace of his Sikhs.
The shabad is a savaiya from Khalsa Mahima (“In Praise of the Khalsa”) in Sri Dasam Granth Sahib, page 716, written by Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Sikh tradition places its utterance at Anandpur Sahib, when the Guru was asked why he honoured his Sikhs above the learned Brahmins; his answer was this hymn — that the battles won, the charity given and the knowledge gained all came through the Sikhs, and that without their grace he would be one among millions of ordinary people.
Sung today, it is a lesson in humility and gratitude: whatever we achieve is held up by the people who stand with us. That is why MedRise Gurbani released it as a shabad for students, exams and any effort you cannot carry alone — and why the same recording is offered with Spanish narration as “Por Su Gracia”, so the meaning reaches listeners who do not read Punjabi or English.
