Asa di Var (Gurmukhi: ਆਸਾ ਦੀ ਵਾਰ) meaning "A ballad of hope",[1] is a collection of 24 stanzas (pauris) in the Guru Granth Sahib, from ang 462 to ang 475.
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.
