Raag Basant, First Mehl, First House, Chau-Padas, Du-Tukas:

1168 : 2
One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying. Beyond Birth. Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace:

1168 : 3
Among the months, blessed is this month, when spring always comes.

1168 : 4
Blossom forth, O my consciousness, contemplating the Lord of the Universe, forever and ever. ||1||

1168 : 5
O ignorant one, forget your egotistical intellect.

1168 : 6
Subdue your ego, and contemplate Him in your mind; gather in the virtues of the Sublime, Virtuous Lord. ||1||Pause||

1168 : 7
Karma is the tree, the Lord's Name the branches, Dharmic faith the flowers, and spiritual wisdom the fruit.

1168 : 8
Realization of the Lord are the leaves, and eradication of the pride of the mind is the shade. ||2||

1168 : 9
Whoever sees the Lord's Creative Power with his eyes, and hears the Guru's Bani with his ears, and utters the True Name with his mouth,

1168 : 10
attains the perfect wealth of honor, and intuitively focuses his meditation on the Lord. ||3||

1168 : 11
The months and the seasons come; see, and do your deeds.

1168 : 12
O Nanak, those Gurmukhs who remain merged in the Lord do not wither away; they remain green forever. ||4||1||

1168 : 13
First Mehl, Basant:

1168 : 14
The season of spring, so delightful, has come.

1168 : 15
Those who are imbued with love for You, O Lord, chant Your Name with joy.

1168 : 16
Whom else should I worship? At whose feet should I bow? ||1||

1168 : 17
I am the slave of Your slaves, O my Sovereign Lord King.

1168 : 18
O Life of the Universe, there is no other way to meet You. ||1||Pause||

1168 : 19
You have only One Form, and yet You have countless forms.

1168 : 20
Which one should I worship? Before which one should I burn incense?

1168 : 21
Your limits cannot be found. How can anyone find them?

1168 : 22
I am the slave of Your slaves, O my Sovereign Lord King. ||2||

1168 : 23
The cycles of years and the places of pilgrimage are Yours, O Lord.

1168 : 24
Your Name is True, O Transcendent Lord God.

1168 : 25
Your State cannot be known, O Eternal, Unchanging Lord God.

1168 : 26
Although You are unknown, still we chant Your Name. ||3||

1168 : 27
What can poor Nanak say?

1168 : 28
All people praise the One Lord.

1168 : 29
Nanak places his head on the feet of such people.

1168 : 30
I am a sacrifice to Your Names, as many as there are, O Lord. ||4||2||

1168 : 31
Basant, First Mehl:

1168 : 32
The kitchen is golden, and the cooking pots are golden.

1168 : 33
The lines marking the cooking square are silver.

1168 : 34
The water is from the Ganges, and the firewood is sanctified.

1168 : 35
The food is soft rice, cooked in milk. ||1||

1168 : 36
O my mind, these things are worthless,
