'''''Asa di Vār''''' ([[Gurmukhi]]: ਆਸਾ ਦੀ ਵਾਰ) meaning "A ballad of hope",<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-12-29 |title=Asa ki Vaar-The Sikh Prayers |url=https://www.allaboutsikhs.com/introduction/asa-di-vaar-the-sikh-prayers/ |access-date=2022-05-26 |website=Gateway to Sikhism |language=en-US}}</ref> also spelt as '''''Asa ki Vār'''''<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Shackle |first=Christopher |title=The Oxford Handbook of Sikh Studies |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=2014 |isbn=9780199699308 |editor-last=Singh |editor-first=Pashaura |edition=1st |pages=109–124 |chapter=8: Survey of Literature in the Sikh Tradition |editor-last2=Fenech |editor-first2=Louis E.}}</ref>, is a collection of 24 [[stanza]]s (''pauris'') in the [[Guru Granth Sahib]], from ang 462 to ang 475.<br />
<br />
Some people argue that the founder of Sikhism, [[Guru Nanak Dev]], wrote the first 9 stanzas together on one occasion and later wrote 15 more on a different occasion; however, some Sikh scholars believe that the whole ''[[vaar]]'' was written at the same place as the ''vaar'' itself proceeds in a definite uniformity. The whole ''vaar'' was compiled by [[Guru Arjan]], the fifth Guru, in 1604 AD.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
When Guru Arjan was compiling the Guru Granth Sahib, he added a few [[Shloka|''sloks'']] of Guru Nanak and in some cases [[Guru Angad]], the second Guru. These sloks are tied together in a way that they relate to the same theme as highlighted in the pauri. In its present form, the ''Asa Di Var'' contains a few more shabads recited by [[Guru Ram Das]], the fourth Sikh Guru.<br />
<br />
According to Christopher Shackle, the work was composed by Guru Nanak.<ref name=":0" /><br />
