PUNJABI ALPHABET
How to Pronounce
I. Punjabi is a phonetic language having one symbol for each sound.
2. Each group from two to six are pronounced by touching the
tongue at a definite place of palate or so, with second group
beginning from soft palate to the sixth at the lips.
3. Second and fourth Ictters of these group!. have aspirated sounds.
They should be pronounced as such i.c. by mingling 'h' sound
with the respective first or third letters.
4. First three letters i.e.€t, l)f, l: are carriers of vowel signs. They
never occur without them (signs).
5. 151 ANG is pronounccd as 'N' in long, pong. song, wrong.
6. V ANJ is pronounced as 'N' in bunch, crunch, hunch.
7. ~ N is pronounced as other letters of the group by tongue
touching the hard palate.
8. 0 N is pronounced as other letters of the group by tongue
touching the hind offront upper teeth.
9. c-~ T-P (with dot below) are hard e.g.
eTas 'f in ten, town, towel.
~ ~ as '~' in dare, den, diet.
I O. 3'-~ T-D (without dot) are soft e.g.
3' T sorry there is no such (equivalent) sound in English.
~ D as 'the' in brother, bother, that.
11.;r ~ is pronounced almost as R with extra accent. Again there is
no equivalent sound in English.
12. LaSllcttcrs of groups ("'0 to six are nasal con"iOllants ofwhich 151
(ANG) and V (ANJ) arc no longer in vogue.

Lesson 71
Our School Library
Our school has a big library. It is situated in a spacious room
which is fitted with electric tubes and ceiling fans. Many mottoes
have been written on its walls. Pictures of famous writers, artists and
scientists are also hung. The room is tastefully decorated and
furnished.
There are more than twenty thousand books in our library.
They are put in big almirahs. They are arranged subject-wise. There
is a catalogue in the library. It contains cards on which the names of
books and their authors are written. They are arranged
alphabetically. There is a separate section for newspapers and
magazines in the library. It subscribes to ten daily newspapers and
twenty monthly magazines.
A good library is an essential part of a school. It supplements
the knowledge of students and inculcates the habit of self-study.

AMRITSAR
Amritsar is a famous city oflndia. It was founded by the fourth
Guru of the Sikhs, Sri Guru Ram Das. The fifth Guru, Sri Guru AJjan
Dev built a temple named Harimander in the midst of Amritsar
tank. The temple is also known as Golden Temple. The Guru got its
foundation stone laid by a Muslim saint, Sain Mian Mir. The
Jallianwala Bagh, where the British General Dyre gruesomely killed
unarmed and peaceful Indians in 1919 is nearby.
Amritsar remained a centre of trade and industry and religious,
political and cultural activities since its inception. The glory
however, has waned after the partition of the country. It is near the
Indo·Pak Border.
Khalsa College, DAV College, Government College for Women,
Government and Sri Guru Ram Das Medical and Dental Colleges,
and Guru Nanak Dev University are the pride educational
institutions ofthe city. There is a beautiful garden called Ram Bagh,
built by Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Verka, a suburb of the city, is known
for its milk products.
Hundreds of people from all over India and many foreigners
come to visit the city of Golden Temple and Jallianwala Bagh daily.

Inspire a friend for study and hardwork.
Guru Nanak Nagar,
Batala
January 27,1999.
My dear friend Harmanjit,
Sat Siri Aka!. I have come to know from a letter from your
respected father today that you have fallen in bad company, loafer
abou't aimlessly and are not caring tor your study. As a result you
have failed in 9th class examination. It is very sad. You were counted
as a bright students of your class. Now you are considered as a
useless person. Your parents live in great tension. Children are the
mainstay ,of their parents in their old age. Agree with me. Eschew
bad company. Work hard as before. Relieve your parents of the
tension and have their blessings.
I hope you will take care of my advice and show good results in
future.
Wishing you a good life.
Yours sincerely,
Kuljit Singh

Lesson 79
Regarding Insanitary Condition of the locality.
5, Ranbh Marg,
Patiala.
March 6, 2000
To
The Mayor,
Municipal Corporation, Patiala.
Sir,
Our locality is very dirty. It is a hell on earth. It is full of pits.
These pits are full of water. Dirty water flows in the street. It is
difficult to move about. There are mosquitoes also. We fear lest
malarhishould break out.
The sweeper of the street is not regular. He comes once a week.
He does not clean the street. He sits in the corner. He smokes. We
have advi~ed him many times, but he does not listen.
You are requested to look into the matter. Please set the sweeper
rig"t or transfer him.
Thanking you,

Lesson 83
Vanishing Vanity
The tenth Guru of the Sikhs, Sri Guru Gobind Singh stayed for
some time at Sabo Ki Talwandi in the territory held by Dalla.
Expressing sympathy over the hard time faced by the Guru, Dalla
said, "0 Lord! Had you remembered me, I might have helped easing
the circumstances. My mighty and brave soldiers are· always ready
to lay down their lives." The Guru noted that although Dalla was a
devout Sikh, there was still a little bit of vanity in him. He had not
become a true disciple (Sikh). The Guru replied, "Don't worry, Dalla.
We shall see to it if occasion arises next time."
One day a Sikh brought a new gun to present it to the Guru. The
Guru took the gun in his hands and asked Dalla, "Bhai Dalla, send
for a soldier of yours. Let us test the aim of the gun." Dalla ordered
his soldiers. They replied, "To fight and die in the war is another
thing. Why to die without any reason?"
Hearing this the Guru sent message to his camp. There were
only two Sikhs in the camp. Others had gone out for war-practices.
Hearing the call both of them came running and vied with each
other for the aim. The Guru made them stand side by side and fired
much above their heads.
Seeing this feat, Dalla was astonished and felt ashamed. His
vanity had vanished. He fell upon the feet of the Guru and begged
pardon. Dalla .had become a true disciple now.

Lesson 84
A Muslim Saint and the Lewd Woman
A Muslim Saint was, once, meditating at a little distance from
the human habitat. He had a beautiful long beard. One day while he
was making ablution for the Namaz at the nearby well, a lewd woman
passed that way. She had a dog following her. Seeing the beard of the
saint she remarked sarcastically, "Old man, which is better? Your
beard or my dog's tail?" The saint spoke very politely, "Sister, I
can't answer your question now. If time permits I shall surely give
you the reply."
Many years passed. The talk fell into oblivision. The saint
became old and
maintain~d ill-health.
Knowing that his end had
come, he enquired about the woman. She was still living, although
she had also grown old. The saint sent for her. When she came, he
said, "Sister, I am going to answer your that question of yore. My
beard is better than the tail of your dog."
Surprised, she asked keenly, "Sir, you could have given this
answer at that time. Why did you wait till today?"
"Sister, I could not answer the question then. Who knows about
a person's mind as to when it goes astray and there is a blot 'Oft his
" a blotless
beard. Today when my end has come, I am going with
beard. Hence I can say today that my beard is better than your dog's
tail," saying the saint departed, from this mortal world.

Lesson 85
liiajjan, The Thug
His name was Sajjan. Sajjan means a friend. But he was nobody's
friend. He was actually a Thug. Whosoever stayed at
~~
inn-like
house, Sajjan used to kill him in sleep, take all his things and throw
him in the well.
During his long travells to the west, Guru Nanak Dev alongwith
Mardana stayed for the night at Sajjan's abode. Thinking that he
would get a good fortune after killing the Guru in the night, Sajjan
was glad to have such a majestic personality as his guest. He
welcomed the Guru extremely artfully. By his sublime perception
the Guru saw at the very first glance the wicked in Sajjan.
During the night Sajjan went many a times to Guru's room with
the intention to kill him. But each time he saw the Guru singing
hymns at the tune of Rabab being played by Mardana. By dawn
Sajjan was impressed by the dauntless devotion of the Guru to the
Lord Almighty as also the meaning and spirit of the songs. Sajjan
fell upon the feet of the Guru and wept bitterly for his sins.
The Guru soothed Sajjan and told him that since he was
sorrowful for his past designs, the true contritiol! lies in giving away
the ill-earned wealth to the needy so that it might not allure him
again.
Sajjan distributed all his wealth among the poor and the needy,
became a Sikh of the Guru and established a Dharamsala. Saiian was
no more a Thug. He was now a true friend.
