Kirtan is a form of devotional singing that is central to Sikh worship. It involves singing hymns, shabads, and mantras from the Guru Granth Sahib, accompanied by musical instruments such as the harmonium, tabla, and dholak. Kirtan is an important part of Sikh culture and is often performed in Gurudwaras and at religious gatherings and festivals.

Here are a few famous kirtans that are commonly sung by Sikhs:

1. “Waheguru Waheguru”: This is a popular kirtan that is sung in praise of Waheguru, the Sikh name for God. The repetition of the word “Waheguru” in this kirtan is believed to help the mind focus on the divine.
2. “Satnam Waheguru”: This kirtan is also sung in praise of Waheguru and is believed to help the listener connect with the divine. The words “Satnam” and “Waheguru” mean “true name” and “wonderful teacher,” respectively.
3. “Jap Man Satnam”: This kirtan is based on a shabad by Guru Nanak Dev Ji and is sung to promote peace and spiritual awakening. The words “Jap Man” mean “meditate on” and “Satnam” means “true name.”
4. “Deh Shiva Bar Mohe Eha”: This kirtan is based on a shabad by Guru Gobind Singh Ji and is sung to invoke divine protection and guidance. The words “Deh Shiva Bar Mohe Eha” mean “Give me the strength and courage to fight for righteousness.”
5. “Jo Mange Thakur Apne Te”: This kirtan is based on a shabad by Guru Arjan Dev Ji and is sung to express gratitude to the divine. The words “Jo Mange Thakur Apne Te” mean “Whatever I ask for from my Lord, He always grants it to me.”

These kirtans, along with many others, are an important part of Sikh worship and help to promote a sense of peace, harmony, and devotion among Sikhs around the world.
