Basant, First Mehl, Hindol:

ਸਾਹੁਰੜੀ ਵਥੁ ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਸਾਝੀ ਪੇਵਕੜੈ ਧਨ ਵਖੇ ॥

saahurarree vath sabh kichh saajhee pevakarrai dhan vakhe |

In the House of the Husband Lord - in the world hereafter, everything is jointly owned; but in this world - in the house of the soul-bride's parents, the soul-bride owns them separately.

ਆਪਿ ਕੁਚਜੀ ਦੋਸੁ ਨ ਦੇਊ ਜਾਣਾ ਨਾਹੀ ਰਖੇ ॥੧॥

aap kuchajee dos na deaoo jaanaa naahee rakhe |1|

She herself is ill-mannered; how can she blame anyone else? She does not know how to take care of these things. ||1||

ਮੇਰੇ ਸਾਹਿਬਾ ਹਉ ਆਪੇ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਣੀ ॥

mere saahibaa hau aape bharam bhulaanee |

O my Lord and Master, I am deluded by doubt.

ਅਖਰ ਲਿਖੇ ਸੇਈ ਗਾਵਾ ਅਵਰ ਨ ਜਾਣਾ ਬਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

I sing the Word which You have written; I do not know any other Word. ||1||Pause||

ਕਢਿ ਕਸੀਦਾ ਪਹਿਰਹਿ ਚੋਲੀ ਤਾਂ ਤੁਮੑ ਜਾਣਹੁ ਨਾਰੀ ॥

kadt kaseedaa pahireh cholee taan tuma jaanahu naaree |

She alone is known as the Lord's bride, who embroiders her gown in the Name.

ਜੇ ਘਰੁ ਰਾਖਹਿ ਬੁਰਾ ਨ ਚਾਖਹਿ ਹੋਵਹਿ ਕੰਤ ਪਿਆਰੀ ॥੨॥

je ghar raakheh buraa na chaakheh hoveh kant piaaree |2|

She who preserves and protects the home of her own heart and does not taste of evil, shall be the Beloved of her Husband Lord. ||2||

ਜੇ ਤੂੰ ਪੜਿਆ ਪੰਡਿਤੁ ਬੀਨਾ ਦੁਇ ਅਖਰ ਦੁਇ ਨਾਵਾ ॥

je toon parriaa panddit beenaa due akhar due naavaa |

If you are a learned and wise religious scholar, then make a boat of the letters of the Lord's Name.
