Alahunian

Alahunian , is the name given to the Bani by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. It is a composition in measure Vadahans in the Guru Granth Sahib on Page 578, Line 18 to Page 585, Line 10. Alahni (singular) is rarely used in deference to its plural form Alahnian. This refers to a dirge (funeral song) wailingly sung in chorus by women mourning the death of a close relation. Etymologically, the word means an "utterance in praise of a departed person". 
In the common life of Punjab, "alahnian" are sung to mourn a death, "ghorian" are sung to celebrate a wedding; similarly "chhants" are recited at the time of marriage; "sadd" (call) is a dirge, "pahare" quarters of day or night, "ruttin" (seasons), "var sat" (week days), "din-rain" (day and night) are the compositions stressing the importance of time which should be utilized in remembrance of the Lord.
The sorrowful singing of Alahnian is part of the mourning custom of siapa. The women assemble at the house of the dead person and cry aloud beating their breasts while standing, or sit together and bewail. They weep bitterly and sing alahnian in the most pathetic, desperate and sorrowful tones. The village barbress (nain) or mirasan starts the alahni by singing aloud the first line of the dirge eulogizing the dead person, followed by the group in chorus. The siapa goes on continually for a number of days until the last ceremonies are held; and the relatives of the deceased keep coming from far and near, the women joining in the heartrending wail from day to day. 
Alahni is also a poetic form in Punjabi which refers to the style of this mourning song. The strain may alter with the subject. Guru Nanak employed this mode in his bani, as he adopted several other popular, folk forms. Five of his Shabads (hymns) included in the Guru Granth Sahib in Raga Vadahans (pp. 578 to 582) are entitled Alahnian. In these hymns, the sovereignty of God's Will is proclaimed. By implication, the customs of siapa and alahnian are deprecated. 
One must not give way to idle wailing, but learn to accept what has been ordained by the Almighty. The reality of death is brought home to man. "As man hath come into this world, so must he depart." The recitation of Alahnian brings solace to the grief-afflicted soul and leads it to seek shelter in God. Surrender to His Will is the burden of this verse. "None ever die with the dead," says Guru Nanak. "Blessed is he who praises the Lord's merits and weeps in fear of Him. They who bewail by remembering Him are through the ages acknowledged wise." Death is inevitable. But death is for the manmukh, one who is ruled by his own ego, one who has turned away from God. Death is not for the gurmukh who is turned towards God. 
By Naam Simran, i.e. constant remembrance of the Name of God, one discards the fear of death. This is the way to achieving the state of fearlessness, the state of liberation and everlastingness. He is truly triumphant in the world who absorbs himself in Naam and is firm in his faith, who performs his worldly duty and yet remains unattached, always ready to leave the world without sorrow. One, who submits to the "Will of the Lord" or Hukam and leads a pious life, lives in peace and tranquillity and dreads not the call of death. Death for such virtuous persons is a victory. All have to reach the same destination, says Guru Nanak. 
Instead of crying and wailing at the death of a relation, men should sit together and sing the praise of God. The poetic metre used in Alahnian corresponds with the tune in which this folk form is cast. It is a kind of "duvaiya chhand", in which last line of each Shabad echoes the burden of the line in the first part of Alahnian. The language is Sadh Bhakha with a strong flavour of Lahndi dialect. Alliteration has been used and new compounds formed to make the lines musical. Some of the verses convey the eternal truths in such homely yet terse language that they have become part of Punjabi speech. For instance: "jeha likhia teha paia" as is it foreordained for one, so does one receive, and "ko marai na moia nale" none ever die with the dead.
