(shown here in "Roman" - the engraving is written in Gurmukhi)
Re-man eh bidh jog kamaa-o.
Singee saach akapat kanthalaa dhi-aan bibhoot charaa-o.
Taatee gaho aatam bas kar kee bhichhaa naam adhaarang.
Baajay param taar tat har ko upajai raag rasaarang.
Ughatai taan tarang rang at gi-aan geet bandhaanang.
Chak chak rehay dayv daanav mun chhak chhak bayom bivaanang.
Aatam upadays bhays sanjam ko jaap so ajapaa jaapai.
Sadaa rehai kanchan see kaayaa kaal na kabahoo(n) bayaapai.

History and use of a Kara:
The Kara is originally a bracelet made of iron or steel and was first given by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the 10th Sikh Master, in 1699 as one of the 5 K's of the Sikhs - a powerful protection and radiant symbol for the one who wears it.
A circle with no beginning and no end, the Kara represents man’s unbreakable relationship with the eternal creator and the Infinity. The steel or iron is a reminder of the strength of the bond which unites us together and ultimately to the Divine.

A Kara is not only a spiritual or religious garment, it is a powerful jewel of radiance, enhancing your personality and presence. In the science of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, the Kara is also valued for its energetic-magnetic effects on the Aura – strengthening the male or active energy when worn on the right hand, and the female or more receptive energy when worn on the left hand.
