1Basant, Fifth Mehla, First House, Du-Thukay:

2One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

3I serve the Guru, and humbly bow to Him.

4Today is a day of celebration for me.

5Today I am in supreme bliss.

6My anxiety is dispelled, and I have met the Lord of the Universe. ||1||

7Today, it is springtime in my household.

8I sing Your Glorious Praises, O Infinite Lord God. ||1||Pause||

9Today, I am celebrating the festival of Phalgun.

10Joining with God's companions, I have begun to play.

11I celebrate the festival of Holi by serving the Saints.

12I am imbued with the deep crimson color of the Lord's Divine Love. ||2||

13My mind and body have blossomed forth, in utter, incomparable beauty.

14They do not dry out in either sunshine or shade;

15they flourish in all seasons.

16It is always springtime, when I meet with the Divine Guru. ||3||

17The wish-fulfilling Elysian Tree has sprouted and grown.

18It bears flowers and fruits, jewels of all sorts.

19I am satisfied and fulfilled, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

20Servant Nanak meditates on the Lord, Har, Har, Har. ||4||1||

21Basant, Fifth Mehla:

22The shopkeeper deals in merchandise for profit.

23The gambler's consciousness is focused on gambling.

24The opium addict lives by consuming opium.

25In the same way, the humble servant of the Lord lives by meditating on the Lord. ||1||

26Everyone is absorbed in his own pleasures.

27He is attached to whatever God attaches him to. ||1||Pause||

28When the clouds and the rain come, the peacocks dance.

29Seeing the moon, the lotus blossoms.

30When the mother sees her infant, she is happy.

31In the same way, the humble servant of the Lord lives by meditating on the Lord of the Universe. ||2||

32The tiger always wants to eat meat.

33Gazing upon the battlefield, the warrior's mind is exalted.

34The miser is totally in love with his wealth.

35The humble servant of the Lord leans on the Support of the Lord, Har, Har. ||3||

36All love is contained in the Love of the One Lord.

37All comforts are contained in the Comfort of the Lord's Name.

38He alone receives this treasure,

39O Nanak, unto whom the Guru gives His gift. ||4||2||

40Basant, Fifth Mehla:

41He alone experiences this springtime of the soul, unto whom God grants His Grace.

42He alone experiences this springtime of the soul, unto whom the Guru is merciful.

43He alone is joyful, who works for the One Lord.

44He alone experiences this eternal springtime of the soul, within whose heart the Naam, the Name of the Lord, abides. ||1||

45This spring comes only to those homes,

46in which the melody of the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises resounds. ||1||Pause||

47O mortal, let your love for the Supreme Lord God blossom forth.

48Practice spiritual wisdom, and consult the humble servants of the Lord.

49He alone is an ascetic, who joins the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

50He alone dwells in deep, continual meditation, who loves his Guru. ||2||

51He alone is fearless, who has the Fear of God.

52He alone is peaceful, whose doubts are dispelled.

53He alone is a hermit, who heart is steady and stable.

54He alone is steady and unmoving, who has found the true place. ||3||

55He seeks the One Lord, and loves the One Lord.

56He loves to gaze upon the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan.

57He intuitively enjoys the Love of the Lord.

58Slave Nanak is a sacrifice to that humble being. ||4||3||
