Dastar
A Dastaar (Punjabi: ਦਸਤਾਰ, dastāar, from Persian: دستار) or Pagṛi (Punjabi: ਪਗੜੀ) or Pagg (Punjabi: ਪੱਗ), is an item of headgear associated with Sikhism and is an important part of the Sikh culture. Wearing a Sikh turban is mandatory for all Amritdhari (baptized) Sikh men.
Among the Sikhs, the Dastaar is an article of faith that represents honour, self-respect, courage, spirituality, and piety. The Khalsa Sikh men and women, who keep the Five Ks, wear the turban partly to cover their long, uncut hair (kesh). The Khalsa Sikhs regard the Dastaar as an important part of the unique Sikh identity.
History
The Dastaar has been an important part of the Sikh religion since the time of the First Guru. Guru Angad Dev honoured Guru Amar Das with a special Dastaar when he was declared the next Guru. At the time when Guru Ram Das passed on, Guru Arjun Dev was honoured with the Dastaar of Guruship.

Sacrifice
by: TsjuderNo I donÂ't need a reason to be breathin, just give you what I can
No I donÂ't want a family who would dare me to resent everything I am
I donÂ't need to prove to all the ones who feel that I need to fit in
No I donÂ't ever tell you that I failed you, IÂ'd rather start life over again
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
Now I can see it clearly why you fear me why you gotta bring me down
No I donÂ't wanna fight you just to spite you but IÂ'm not afraid to take you out
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
Everybody expects me to break but IÂ'll never breakdown again
Everybody expects me to give up, but youÂ'll never see me givin in
Everybody wants me to lose, but IÂ'll never lose who I am
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
Everybody expects me to break but IÂ'll never breakdown again
Everybody expects me to give up, but youÂ'll never see me givin in
Everybody wants me to lose, but IÂ'll never lose who I am
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
