chet govind araadheeai hovai anand ghanaa |

In the month of Chayt, by meditating on the Lord of the Universe, a deep and profound joy arises.

ਸੰਤ ਜਨਾ ਮਿਲਿ ਪਾਈਐ ਰਸਨਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਭਣਾ ॥

sant janaa mil paaeeai rasanaa naam bhanaa |

Meeting with the humble Saints, the Lord is found, as we chant His Name with our tongues.

ਜਿਨਿ ਪਾਇਆ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਆਪਣਾ ਆਏ ਤਿਸਹਿ ਗਣਾ ॥

jin paaeaa prabh aapanaa aae tiseh ganaa |

Those who have found God-blessed is their coming into this world.

ਇਕੁ ਖਿਨੁ ਤਿਸੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਜੀਵਣਾ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਜਣਾ ॥

eik khin tis bin jeevanaa birathaa janam janaa |

Those who live without Him, for even an instant-their lives are rendered useless.

ਜਲਿ ਥਲਿ ਮਹੀਅਲਿ ਪੂਰਿਆ ਰਵਿਆ ਵਿਚਿ ਵਣਾ ॥

jal thal maheeal pooriaa raviaa vich vanaa |

The Lord is totally pervading the water, the land, and all space. He is contained in the forests as well.

ਸੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਚਿਤਿ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਕਿਤੜਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਗਣਾ ॥

so prabh chit na aavee kitarraa dukh ganaa |

Those who do not remember God-how much pain must they suffer!

ਜਿਨੀ ਰਾਵਿਆ ਸੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਤਿੰਨਾ ਭਾਗੁ ਮਣਾ ॥

jinee raaviaa so prabhoo tinaa bhaag manaa |

Those who dwell upon their God have great good fortune.

ਹਰਿ ਦਰਸਨ ਕੰਉ ਮਨੁ ਲੋਚਦਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਪਿਆਸ ਮਨਾ ॥

har darasan knau man lochadaa naanak piaas manaa |

My mind yearns for the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan. O Nanak, my mind is so thirsty!

ਚੇਤਿ ਮਿਲਾਏ ਸੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਤਿਸ ਕੈ ਪਾਇ ਲਗਾ ॥੨॥

chet milaae so prabhoo tis kai paae lagaa |2|

I touch the feet of one who unites me with God in the month of Chayt. ||2||
