Kabhu Har Syon Cheet Na Layo - New Composition in Raag Mangal Gujri

I found an interesting Raag, Mangal Gujri so I thought I'd make a composition on it. The raag is quite intoxicating. 

New Composition: 21040 - Kabhu Har Syon Cheet Na Layo
Guru Arjan Dev Random Shabad in Raag Gujri
Raag: Mangal Gujri (Ni komal and the rest like Gujri) - interesting; there are few raags with such combination of notes. So it makes for an interesting mood.
The words remind me of many shabads by Guru Tegh Bahadur, like Kahaa Karon Ri Mai.
