Chaubole is typically described as a poetic form governed primarily by meter and lines, usually four, as a song with four segments, or as a verse containing four languages.


The theme of the Chaubole composition by Guru Arjan Sahib is love. It conveys that being perpetually absorbed in the Beloved, IkOankar (the Divine) is true love. A lover immersed in love is ready to sacrifice everything for their Beloved. They consciously connect with and become worthy of IkOankar’s love. Their mind remains immersed in the Nam (Divine-Identification) of IkOankar in every moment. They remain in a constant state of joy and do not seek bliss elsewhere. But, a being entangled in attachment to the material world and relationships remains miserable despite attaining worldly comforts.
