Blossoming forth and flowering through the Lord's Name, peace is obtained. ||2||

Contemplating the Word of the Guru's Shabad, one is in spring forever,

with the Lord's Name enshrined in the heart. ||3||

When the mind is in spring, the body and mind are rejuvenated.

O Nanak, this body is the tree which bears the fruit of the Lord's Name. ||4||3||15||

Basant, Third Mehl:

They alone are in the spring season, who sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

They come to worship the Lord with devotion, through their perfect destiny. ||1||

This mind is not even touched by spring.

This mind is burnt by duality and double-mindedness. ||1||Pause||

This mind is entangled in worldly affairs, creating more and more karma.

Enchanted by Maya, it cries out in suffering forever. ||2||

This mind is released, only when it meets with the True Guru.

Then, it does not suffer beatings by the Messenger of Death. ||3||

This mind is released, when the Guru emancipates it.

O Nanak, attachment to Maya is burnt away through the Word of the Shabad. ||4||4||16||

Basant, Third Mehl:

Spring has come, and all the plants are flowering.

These beings and creatures blossom forth when they focus their consciousness on the Lord. ||1||

In this way, this mind is rejuvenated.

Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, day and night, egotism is removed and washed away from the Gurmukhs. ||1||Pause||

The True Guru speaks the Bani of the Word, and the Shabad, the Word of God.

This world blossoms forth in its greenery, through the love of the True Guru. ||2||

The mortal blossoms forth in flower and fruit, when the Lord Himself so wills.

He is attached to the Lord, the Primal Root of all, when he finds the True Guru. ||3||

The Lord Himself is the season of spring; the whole world is His Garden.

O Nanak, this most unique devotional worship comes only by perfect destiny. ||4||5||17||

Basant Hindol, Third Mehl, Second House:

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

I am a sacrifice to the Word of the Guru's Bani, O Siblings of Destiny. I am devoted and dedicated to the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

I praise my Guru forever, O Siblings of Destiny. I focus my consciousness on the Guru's Feet. ||1||

O my mind, focus your consciousness on the Lord's Name.

Your mind and body shall blossom forth in lush greenery, and you shall obtain the fruit of the Name of the One Lord. ||1||Pause||

Those who are protected by the Guru are saved, O Siblings of Destiny. They drink in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord's sublime essence.

The pain of egotism within is eradicated and banished, O Siblings of Destiny, and peace comes to dwell in their minds. ||2||
