A '''Hukamnama''' refers to a hymn from the [[Guru Granth Sahib]] which is given as an order to [[Sikh]]s or a historical order given by one of the Gurus of [[Sikhism]].<br />
<br />
Nowadays, after the period of living gurus, The Hukumnama refers to a hymn from a randomly selected left hand side page from the Guru Granth Sahib on a daily basis in the morning. This is seen as the order of God for that particular day. The Hukamnama is distributed and then read aloud in Gurdwaras throughout the world. <br />
<br />
Hukamnama, is a compound of two words [[hukam]], meaning command or order, and namah, meaning statement.<br />
<br />

Kachh, Kirpan da visah nahee karna<br/><br />
Sarb Loh da kara hath rakhna<br/><br />
Dono vakat kesa dee palna karna<br/><br />
Sarbat sangat abhakhia da kutha<br/><br />
Khave naheen, Tamakoo na vartana<br/><br />
Bhadni tatha kanya-maran-vale so mel na rakhe<br/><br />

Guru kee rahat rakhnee<br/><br />
Sarbat sangat oopar meri khushi hai.<br />
