1Gazing upon the wonder of God's Creation, I am wonder-struck and amazed.

2The Gurmukh obtains the Naam, the Name of the Lord, by His Grace. ||3||

3The Creator Himself enjoys all delights.

4Whatever He does, surely comes to pass.

5He is the Great Giver; He has no greed at all.

6O Nanak, living the Word of the Shabad, the mortal meets with God. ||4||6||

7Basant, Third Mehla:

8By perfect destiny, one acts in truth.

9Remembering the One Lord, one does not have to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

10Fruitful is the coming into the world, and the life of one

11who remains intuitively absorbed in the True Name. ||1||

12The Gurmukh acts, lovingly attuned to the Lord.

13Be dedicated to the Lord's Name, and eradicate self-conceit from within. ||1||Pause||

14True is the speech of that humble being;

15through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, it is spread throughout the world.

16Throughout the four ages, his fame and glory spread.

17Imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the Lord's humble servant is recognized and renowned. ||2||

18Some remain lovingly attuned to the True Word of the Shabad.

19True are those humble beings who love the True Lord.

20They meditate on the True Lord, and behold Him near at hand, ever-present.

21They are the dust of the lotus feet of the humble Saints. ||3||

22There is only One Creator Lord; there is no other at all.

23Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, comes Union with the Lord.

24Whoever serves the True Lord finds joy.

25O Nanak, he is intuitively absorbed in the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||7||

26Basant, Third Mehla:

27The Lord's humble servant worships Him, and beholds Him ever-present, near at hand.

28He is the dust of the lotus feet of the humble Saints.

29Those who remain lovingly attuned to the Lord forever

30are blessed with understanding by the Perfect True Guru. ||1||

31How rare are those who become the slave of the Lord's slaves.

32They attain the supreme status. ||1||Pause||

33So serve the One Lord, and no other.

34Serving Him, eternal peace is obtained.

35He does not die; He does not come and go in reincarnation.

36Why should I serve any other than Him, O my mother? ||2||

37True are those humble beings who realize the True Lord.

38Conquering their self-conceit, they merge intuitively into the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

39The Gurmukhs gather in the Naam.

40Their minds are immaculate, and their reputations are immaculate. ||3||

41Know the Lord, who gave you spiritual wisdom,

42and realize the One God, through the True Word of the Shabad.

43When the mortal tastes the sublime essence of the Lord, he becomes pure and holy.

44O Nanak, those who are imbued with the Naam - their reputations are true. ||4||8||

45Basant, Third Mehla:

46Those who are imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord - their generations are redeemed and saved.

47True is their speech; they love the Naam.

48Why have the wandering self-willed manmukhs even come into the world?

49Forgetting the Naam, the mortals waste their lives away. ||1||

50One who dies while yet alive, truly dies, and embellishes his death.

51Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he enshrines the True Lord within his heart. ||1||Pause||

52Truth is the food of the Gurmukh; his body is sanctified and pure.

53His mind is immaculate; he is forever the ocean of virtue.

54He is not forced to come and go in the cycle of birth and death.

55By Guru's Grace, he merges in the True Lord. ||2||

56Serving the True Lord, one realizes Truth.

57Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he goes to the Lord's Court with his banners flying proudly.
