Basant Hindol, Fourth Mehl:

ਮਨੁ ਖਿਨੁ ਖਿਨੁ ਭਰਮਿ ਭਰਮਿ ਬਹੁ ਧਾਵੈ ਤਿਲੁ ਘਰਿ ਨਹੀ ਵਾਸਾ ਪਾਈਐ ॥

man khin khin bharam bharam bahu dhaavai til ghar nahee vaasaa paaeeai |

Each and every moment, my mind roams and rambles, and runs all over the place. It does not stay in its own home, even for an instant.

ਗੁਰਿ ਅੰਕਸੁ ਸਬਦੁ ਦਾਰੂ ਸਿਰਿ ਧਾਰਿਓ ਘਰਿ ਮੰਦਰਿ ਆਣਿ ਵਸਾਈਐ ॥੧॥

gur ankas sabad daaroo sir dhaario ghar mandar aan vasaaeeai |1|

But when the bridle of the Shabad, the Word of God, is placed over its head, it returns to dwell in its own home. ||1||

ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਜੀਉ ਸਤਸੰਗਤਿ ਮੇਲਿ ਹਰਿ ਧਿਆਈਐ ॥

gobind jeeo satasangat mel har dhiaaeeai |

O Dear Lord of the Universe, lead me to join the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, so that I may meditate on You, Lord.

ਹਉਮੈ ਰੋਗੁ ਗਇਆ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਧਿ ਲਗਾਈਐ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

haumai rog geaa sukh paaeaa har sehaj samaadh lagaaeeai |1| rahaau |

I am cured of the disease of egotism, and I have found peace; I have intuitively entered into the state of Samaadhi. ||1||Pause||

ਘਰਿ ਰਤਨ ਲਾਲ ਬਹੁ ਮਾਣਕ ਲਾਦੇ ਮਨੁ ਭ੍ਰਮਿਆ ਲਹਿ ਨ ਸਕਾਈਐ ॥

ghar ratan laal bahu maanak laade man bhramiaa leh na sakaaeeai |

This house is loaded with countless gems, jewels, rubies and emeralds, but the wandering mind cannot find them.

ਜਿਉ ਓਡਾ ਕੂਪੁ ਗੁਹਜ ਖਿਨ ਕਾਢੈ ਤਿਉ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਵਸਤੁ ਲਹਾਈਐ ॥੨॥

jiau oddaa koop guhaj khin kaadtai tiau satigur vasat lahaaeeai |2|

As the water-diviner finds the hidden water, and the well is then dug in an instant, so do we find the object of the Name through the True Guru. ||2||

ਜਿਨ ਐਸਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸਾਧੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ਤੇ ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਨਰ ਜੀਵਾਈਐ ॥

jin aisaa satigur saadh na paaeaa te dhrig dhrig nar jeevaaeeai |

Those who do not find such a Holy True Guru - cursed, cursed are the lives of those people.

ਜਨਮੁ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਪੁੰਨਿ ਫਲੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਕਉਡੀ ਬਦਲੈ ਜਾਈਐ ॥੩॥

janam padaarath pun fal paaeaa kauddee badalai jaaeeai |3|

The treasure of this human life is obtained when one's virtues bear fruit, but it is lost in exchange for a mere shell. ||3||

ਮਧੁਸੂਦਨ ਹਰਿ ਧਾਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਗੁਰੂ ਮਿਲਾਈਐ ॥

madhusoodan har dhaar prabh kirapaa kar kirapaa guroo milaaeeai |

O Lord God, please be merciful to me; be merciful, and lead me to meet the Guru.

ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਿਰਬਾਣ ਪਦੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਮਿਲਿ ਸਾਧੂ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਈਐ ॥੪॥੪॥੬॥

jan naanak nirabaan pad paaeaa mil saadhoo har gun gaaeeai |4|4|6|

Servant Nanak has attained the state of Nirvaanaa; meeting with the Holy people, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||4||4||6||
