1They are destroyed by Death's demons, and they must go to the City of Death. ||2||

2The Gurmukhs are lovingly attached to the Lord, Har, Har, Har.

3Their pains of both birth and death are taken away. ||3||

4The Lord showers His Mercy on His humble devotees.

5Guru Nanak has shown mercy to me; I have met the Lord, the Lord of the forest. ||4||2||

6Basant Hindol, Fourth Mehla, Second House:

7One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

8The Lord's Name is a jewel, hidden in a chamber of the palace of the body-fortress.

9When one meets the True Guru, then he searches and finds it, and his light merges with the Divine Light. ||1||

10O Lord, lead me to meet with the Holy Person, the Guru.

11Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, all my sins are erased, and I obtain the supreme, sublime, sanctified status. ||1||Pause||

12The five thieves join together and plunder the body-village, stealing the wealth of the Lord's Name.

13But through the Guru's Teachings, they are traced and caught, and this wealth is recovered intact. ||2||

14Practicing hypocrisy and superstition, people have grown weary of the effort, but still, deep within their hearts, they yearn for Maya, Maya.

15By the Grace of the Holy Person, I have met with the Lord, the Primal Being, and the darkness of ignorance is dispelled. ||3||

16The Lord, the Lord of the Earth, the Lord of the Universe, in His Mercy, leads me to meet the Holy Person, the Guru.

17O Nanak, peace then comes to abide deep within my mind, and I constantly sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord within my heart. ||4||1||3||

18Basant, Fourth Mehla, Hindol:

19You are the Great Supreme Being, the Vast and Inaccessible Lord of the World; I am a mere insect, a worm created by You.

20O Lord, Merciful to the meek, please grant Your Grace; O God, I long for the feet of the Guru, the True Guru. ||1||

21O Dear Lord of the Universe, please be merciful and unite me with the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation.

22I was overflowing with the filthy sins of countless past lives. But joining the Sangat, God made me pure again. ||1||Pause||

23Your humble servant, whether of high class or low class, O Lord - by meditating on You, the sinner becomes pure.

24The Lord exalts and elevates him above the whole world, and the Lord God blesses him with the Lord's Glory. ||2||

25Anyone who meditates on God, whether of high class or low class, will have all of his hopes and desires fulfilled.

26Those humble servants of the Lord who enshrine the Lord within their hearts, are blessed, and are made great and totally perfect. ||3||

27I am so low, I am an utterly heavy lump of clay. Please shower Your Mercy on me, Lord, and unite me with Yourself.

28The Lord, in His Mercy, has led servant Nanak to find the Guru; I was a sinner, and now I have become immaculate and pure. ||||4||2||4||

29Basant Hindol, Fourth Mehla:

30My mind cannot survive, even for an instant, without the Lord. I drink in continually the sublime essence of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

31It is like a baby, who joyfully sucks at his mother's breast; when the breast is withdrawn, he weeps and cries. ||1||

32O Dear Lord of the Universe, my mind and body are pierced through by the Name of the Lord.

33By great good fortune, I have found the Guru, the True Guru, and in the body-village, the Lord has revealed Himself. ||1||Pause||
