The phrase (ਪਿਓ ਮਿਲਜੇ ਕਲਗੀਧਰ ਵਰਗਾ) is a popular line from a Punjabi devotional song that translates to "May one find a father like the Kalgidhar" . It refers to Guru Gobind Singh Ji , the tenth Sikh Guru, who is affectionately known as "Kalgidhar" (the wearer of the plume).

: He is often called the "Father of the Khalsa" because he sacrificed his four sons (the Sahibzadas ) for the sake of righteousness and the protection of the oppressed.

: To be a "father like the Kalgidhar" means accepting the responsibility to stand as a shield for the defenseless and upholding Dharma (righteousness).

: The term Kalgidhar refers to the kalgi (plume) worn on the Guru's turban ( dastar ), symbolizing that he was a sovereign leader beholden only to the Divine.

The phrase is the title and refrain of a well-known song, most notably from the 2016 album Nikke Nikke Do Laal .

: The lyrics often pair this wish with finding a mother like Mata Sahib Kaur , who is traditionally honored as the "Mother of the Khalsa". Origin and Popular Media
