1The clouds are heavy, hanging low, and the rain is pouring down on all sides; the rain-drop is received, with natural ease.

2From water, everything is produced; without water, thirst is not quenched.

3O Nanak, whoever drinks in the Water of the Lord, shall never feel hunger again. ||55||

4O rainbird, speak the Shabad, the True Word of God, with natural peace and poise.

5Everything is with you; the True Guru will show you this.

6So understand your own self, and meet your Beloved; His Grace shall rain down in torrents.

7Drop by drop, the Ambrosial Nectar rains down softly and gently; thirst and hunger are completely gone.

8Your cries and screams of anguish have ceased; your light shall merge into the Light.

9O Nanak, the happy soul-brides sleep in peace; they are absorbed in the True Name. ||56||

10The Primal Lord and Master has sent out the True Hukam of His Command.

11Indra mercifully sends forth the rain, which falls in torrents.

12The body and mind of the rainbird are happy. only when the rain-drop falls into its mouth.

13The corn grows high, wealth increases, and the earth is embellished with beauty.

14Night and day, people worship the Lord with devotion, and are absorbed in the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

15The True Lord Himself forgives them, and showering them with His Mercy, He leads them to walk in His Will.

16O brides, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and be absorbed in the True Word of His Shabad.

17Let the Fear of God be your decoration, and remain lovingly attuned to the True Lord.

18O Nanak, the Naam abides in the mind, and the mortal is saved in the Court of the Lord. ||57||

19The rainbird wanders all over the earth, soaring high through the skies.

20But it obtains the drop of water, only when it meets the True Guru, and then, its hunger and thirst are relieved.

21Soul and body and all belong to Him; everything is His.

22He knows everything, without being told; unto whom should we offer our prayers?

23O Nanak, the One Lord is prevading and permeating each and every heart; the Word of the Shabad brings illumination. ||58||

24O Nanak, the season of spring comes to one who serves the True Guru.

25The Lord rains His Mercy down upon him, and his mind and body totally blossom forth; the entire world becomes green and rejuvenated. ||59||

26The Word of the Shabad brings eternal spring; it rejuvenates the mind and body.

27O Nanak, do not forget the Naam, the Name of the Lord, which has created everyone. ||60||

28O Nanak, it is the spring season, for those Gurmukhs, within whose minds the Lord abides.

29When the Lord showers His Mercy, the mind and body blossom forth, and all the world turns green and lush. ||61||

30In the early hours of the morning, whose name should we chant?

31Chant the Name of the Transcendent Lord, who is All-powerful to create and destroy. ||62||

32The Persian wheel also cries out, ""Too! Too! You! You!"", with sweet and sublime sounds.

33Our Lord and Master is always present; why do you cry out to Him in such a loud voice?

34I am a sacrifice to that Lord who created the world, and who loves it.

35Give up your selfishness, and then you shall meet your Husband Lord. Consider this Truth.

36Speaking in shallow egotism, no one understands the Ways of God.

37The forests and fields, and all the three worlds meditate on You, O Lord; this is the way they pass their days and nights forever.

38Without the True Guru, no one finds the Lord. People have grown weary of thinking about it.
