The vār or vaar ( , ), in Punjabi poetry, is a heroic ode or ballad which generally narrates stories of Punjabi folk heroes such as Dulla Bhatti, or major historical events. The vaar has also been used to evoke the mood of devotion or sacrifice, as in Guru Gobind Singh's Chandi di Var, or to narrate the mystical experience of a pir, bhagat, or guru. Some historical vaars include Amir Khusrau's Vaar for Ghazi Malik, the Vaar of Jasrath Khokhar, the Nadar Shah di Var describing the Gondal clan's resistance against Nadir Shah, and the Chatthian di Vaar describing the Chattha clan's fierce rivalry with the Sukerchakia Misl. The two most prominent vaars are the Chandi di Vaar (Vaar Shri Bhagauti ji ki) by Guru Gobind Singh and Najabat's vaar on Nader Shah.
