O naked Yogi, this is not the way of Yoga! ||1||

You fool! How can you have forgotten the Lord's Name?

At the very last moment, it and it alone shall be of any use to you. ||1||Pause||

Consult the Guru, reflect and think it over.

Wherever I look, I see the Lord of the World. ||2||

What can I say? I am nothing.

All my status and honor are in Your Name. ||3||

Why do you take such pride in gazing upon your property and wealth?

When you must leave, nothing shall go along with you. ||4||

So subdue the five thieves, and hold your consciousness in its place.

This is the basis of the way of Yoga. ||5||

Your mind is tied with the rope of egotism.

You do not even think of the Lord - you fool! He alone shall liberate you. ||6||

If you forget the Lord, you will fall into the clutches of the Messenger of Death.

At that very last moment, you fool, you shall be beaten. ||7||

True Yoga shall come to dwell in your mind. ||8||

The self-willed manmukh wanders, lost in the darkness. ||1||

The blind man follows blind advice.

Unless one takes the Guru's Way, his doubt is not dispelled. ||1||Pause||

The manmukh is blind; he does not like the Guru's Teachings.

He has become a beast; he cannot get rid of his egotistical pride. ||2||

God created 8.4 million species of beings.

My Lord and Master, by the Pleasure of His Will, creates and destroys them. ||3||

All are deluded and confused, without the Word of the Shabad and good conduct.

He alone is instructed in this, who is blessed by the Guru, the Creator. ||4||

The Guru's servants are pleasing to our Lord and Master.

The Lord forgives them, and they no longer fear the Messenger of Death. ||5||

Those who love the One Lord with all their heart

- He dispels their doubts and unites them with Himself. ||6||

God is Independent, Endless and Infinite.

The Creator Lord is pleased with Truth. ||7||

O Nanak, the Guru instructs the mistaken soul.

He implants the Truth within him, and shows him the One Lord. ||8||6||

Basant, First Mehl:

He Himself is the bumble bee, the fruit and the vine.

He Himself unites us with the Sangat - the Congregation, and the Guru, our Best Friend. ||1||

O bumble bee, suck in that fragrance,
