Abstract Many languages exist in literary history of Indus valley. These languages not only leaded to divide the region but also discriminated the common people. According to many historians, words of Arabic and Persian became in use during the sixth and seventh century in India whereas in twelfth century their compositions are found at large as most of the legendary and classical poets of Punjabi are found in this period. In fourteenth and fifteenth century usage of Arabic and Persian words were compulsory for education. The Gurus, Bhagats, Bhutts and Gurusikhs also followed this ritual and used Arabic and Persian words accordingly in obedience of their guardians. Where there is teaching of Arabic and Persian, the history and civilization has also been described in a nice way. It is necessary to mention here that no work has since been done on Guru Grenth in any University of Pakistan, and due to lack of knowledge of Arabic and Persian in India at this time, the work on glossaries of Guru Nanak Sahib to 9th Nanak are found the stage. At the end of this article it has been my utmost wish that there should not remain any griviance about Arabic and Persian words used by Guru Tegh Bahadar Sahib so as to provide full knowledge to the coming generations
