What were Guru Arjan’s literary contributions to Sikhism?

In 1599 Guru Arjan composed Sukhmani (ā€œPearl of Peaceā€), which was later included in the Adi Granth, the sacred scripture of the Sikhs. Guru Arjan updated the scriptures of the Sikhs and prepared the Kartarpur Pothi, the volume upon which the canonical Adi Granth, or Guru Granth Sahib, is based. He was also a prolific poet who created hymns of great lyrical quality.
