Scholar and Poet

Dr. Ravinder Pal Singh

A life dedicated to the sacred cadence of Gurbani, joining medical discernment with decades of contemplative Gurmukhi verse under the pen-name Rabab.

The Vocation

Vocation and Vision

Trained in the precise discipline of clinical medicine, Dr. Singh spent four decades observing human fragility and healing. That rigorous grounding informed an enduring devotion to classical Punjabi literature and the sublime hymns of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

Writing under the literary takhallus Rabab—the sacred stringed instrument played by Bhai Mardana—his poetic commentaries seek to transmit the spiritual cadence of the Guru's teachings across generational and linguistic boundaries.
