Kal (Kals-har) was a poet belonging to Bhatt family. He was most prominent member of this family. Fifty-four stanzas written by him have been included in Guru Granth Sahib. These verses have been written in the praise of the contribution of the first Five Gurus. He says that Guru Nanak Sahib was the Supreme Lord of the temporal and spiritual domains; Guru Angad Sahib dispelled darkness of ignorance from this world; Guru Amar Das Sahib was installed Guru for his meditation; Guru Ram Das Sahib was the fountain of Amrit (nectar) from where flowed stream of life; Guru Arjan Sahib was the greatest embodiment of tolerance.
