My mind has stopped its wanderings, and now, it has come to rest. ||1||Pause||

Attachment to Maya has run away from my body, and immaculate spiritual wisdom has welled up within me.

Greed and attachment cannot even touch me; I have grasped hold of devotional worship of the Lord. ||1||

The cynicism of countless lifetimes has been eradicated, since I obtained the jewel of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

My mind was rid of all its desires, and I was absorbed in the peace of my own inner being. ||2||

That person, unto whom the Merciful Lord shows compassion, sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe.

Says Nanak, this wealth is gathered only by the Gurmukh. ||3||3||

Basant, Ninth Mehl:

O my mind, how can you forget the Lord's Name?

When the body perishes, you shall have to deal with the Messenger of Death. ||1||Pause||

This world is just a hill of smoke.

Section 29 - Raag Basant - Part 020

What makes you think that it is real? ||1||

Wealth, spouse, property and household

- none of them shall go along with you; you must know that this is true! ||2||

Only devotion to the Lord shall go with you.

Says Nanak, vibrate and meditate on the Lord with single-minded love. ||3||4||

Basant, Ninth Mehl:

Why do you wander lost, O mortal, attached to falsehood and greed?

Nothing has been lost yet - there is still time to wake up! ||1||Pause||

You must realize that this world is nothing more than a dream.

In an instant, it shall perish; know this as true. ||1||

The Lord constantly abides with you.

Night and day, vibrate and meditate on Him, O my friend. ||2||

At the very last instant, He shall be your Help and Support.

Says Nanak, sing His Praises. ||3||5||

Basant, First Mehl, Ashtapadees, First House, Du-Tukees:

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

The world is a crow; it does not remember the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

Forgetting the Naam, it sees the bait, and pecks at it.

The mind wavers unsteadily, in guilt and deceit.

I have shattered my attachment to the false world. ||1||

The burden of sexual desire, anger and corruption is unbearable.

Without the Naam, how can the mortal maintain a virtuous lifestyle? ||1||Pause||

The world is like a house of sand, built on a whirlpool;

it is like a bubble formed by drops of rain.

It is formed from a mere drop, when the Lord's wheel turns round.

The lights of all souls are the servants of the Lord's Name. ||2||

My Supreme Guru has created everything.

I perform devotional worship service to You, and fall at Your Feet, O Lord.

Imbued with Your Name, I long to be Yours.

Those who do not let the Naam become manifest within themselves, depart like thieves in the end. ||3||
