“Wahe Guru” - A good example of fusion music. It has the elements of Indian music like sitar and tabla and a very traditional groove. “Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa, Wahe Guru Ji ka fateh”, a commonly used Sikh phrase denoting great pride, pays tribute to the wise gurus. There is a remix of this song on the same album, which takes an interesting path, with hints of Sting's “Desert Rose”. -Rock At Night Magazine, review by Shuvam DasGupta

As a Greeting: For someone to come up to you and say Waheguru Je Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh is a compliment in a sense because the person who says it to you is literally saying you are a pure one of God. YOU are a Glorious Creation.

waheguru ji ka khalsa means purity belongs to waheguru, the creator.
Fateh means victory. We are only victorious if we learn, love and follow Guru’s order, if we see God in all, without any of these lust, anger, greed, attachments, ego, hate, anger, back stabbing, steeling, lying, cheating, misleading, misrepresenting.
Thus waheguru ji ki fateh means that if we become pure and become khalsa then any victory we attain; we are saying to our Guru Sahib Ji that this victory that He gave us belongs to Him. Once we follow Guru’s order and become khalsa, only then we will be blessed with His victory.
