شَہِید • (śahīd) m (Gurmukhi spelling ਸ਼ਹੀਦ)

1. martyr
   • Bhai Gurdas, translation by Dr Jodh Singh, Varan Bhai Gurdas, page 3:

     ‏مردہ ہوئے مرید نہ گلیں ہوونا صابر صدق شہید بھرم بھؤ کھوونا‎

     murdā hoe murīd na galī̃ hovṇā sābar sidak shahīd bharam bhau khovṇā

     Only by becoming dead in life, i.e. totally detached, and not through mere verbal jargon one can become a true disciple. One could be such a person only after getting sacrificed for truth and contentment and by eschewing delusions and fears.
