Basant Hindol, First Mehl:

ਸਾਚਾ ਸਾਹੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਸੁਖਦਾਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਮੇਲੇ ਭੁਖ ਗਵਾਏ ॥

saachaa saahu guroo sukhadaataa har mele bhukh gavaae |

The Guru is the True Banker, the Giver of peace; He unites the mortal with the Lord, and satisfies his hunger.

ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਏ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਏ ॥੧॥

kar kirapaa har bhagat drirraae anadin har gun gaae |1|

Granting His Grace, He implants devotional worship of the Lord within; and then night and day, we sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||

ਮਤ ਭੂਲਹਿ ਰੇ ਮਨ ਚੇਤਿ ਹਰੀ ॥

mat bhooleh re man chet haree |

O my mind, do not forget the Lord; keep Him in your consciousness.

ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਤ੍ਰੈ ਲੋਈ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪਾਈਐ ਨਾਮੁ ਹਰੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

bin gur mukat naahee trai loee guramukh paaeeai naam haree |1| rahaau |

Without the Guru, no one is liberated anywhere in the three worlds. The Gurmukh obtains the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause||

ਬਿਨੁ ਭਗਤੀ ਨਹੀ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਬਿਨੁ ਭਾਗਾ ਨਹੀ ਭਗਤਿ ਹਰੀ ॥

bin bhagatee nahee satigur paaeeai bin bhaagaa nahee bhagat haree |

Without devotional worship, the True Guru is not obtained. Without good destiny, devotional worship of the Lord is not obtained.

ਬਿਨੁ ਭਾਗਾ ਸਤਸੰਗੁ ਨ ਪਾਈਐ ਕਰਮਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਹਰੀ ॥੨॥

bin bhaagaa satasang na paaeeai karam milai har naam haree |2|

Without good destiny, the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, is not obtained. By the grace of one's good karma, the Lord's Name is received. ||2||

ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਗੁਪਤੁ ਉਪਾਏ ਵੇਖੈ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸੰਤ ਜਨਾ ॥

ghatt ghatt gupat upaae vekhai paragatt guramukh sant janaa |

In each and every heart, the Lord is hidden; He creates and watches over all. He reveals Himself in the humble, Saintly Gurmukhs.

ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਸੁ ਹਰਿ ਰੰਗਿ ਭੀਨੇ ਹਰਿ ਜਲੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨਾ ॥੩॥

har har kareh su har rang bheene har jal amrit naam manaa |3|

Those who chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, are drenched with the Lord's Love. Their minds are drenched with the Ambrosial Water of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||3||

ਜਿਨ ਕਉ ਤਖਤਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸੇ ਪਰਧਾਨ ਕੀਏ ॥

jin kau takhat milai vaddiaaee guramukh se paradhaan kee |

Those who are blessed with the glory of the Lord's Throne - those Gurmukhs are renowned as supreme.

ਪਾਰਸੁ ਭੇਟਿ ਭਏ ਸੇ ਪਾਰਸ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਰ ਸੰਗਿ ਥੀਏ ॥੪॥੪॥੧੨॥

paaras bhett bhe se paaras naanak har gur sang thee |4|4|12|

Touching the philosopher's stone, they themselves becomes the philosopher's stone; they become the companions of the Lord, the Guru. ||4||4||12||
