Shabad Interpretation in English:

Behold the flowers flowering, and the blossoms blossoming forth! Renounce and abandon your egotism. Grasp hold of His Lotus Feet. You meet with God, O blessed one. O my mind, remain conscious of the Waheguru Almighty. The tender young plants smell so good, while others remain like dry wood. The season of spring has come; it blossoms forth luxuriantly. Now, the Dark Age of Kali Yuga has come. Plant the seed of Waheguru’s Naam, the Name of the One Lord. It is not the season to plant other seeds. Do not wander lost in doubt and delusion. One finds Waheguru the Almighty with Guru’s help, and those who have such a destiny. O mortal, this is the season of the Naam. Nanak utters the Glorious Praises of the Lord Waheguru.

Shabad Interpretation in English:


I am at peace all the time, working or while resting. I feel no fear, because this is what I have understood. The One Lord, Waheguru is Master and protector of all of us. He is aware of the inner soul of all living beings. I sleep without worry, and I awake without worry. You, O God, are pervading everywhere.  I dwell in peace within, and I am at peace outside. Says Nanak, the Guru has implanted His Mantra within me.

Shabad Interpretation in English:


Sing the Glorious Praises of the Almighty Lord Waheguru. Have Mercy on me, O Lord of the Universe, that I may keep chanting Your Name. O Waheguru, please lift me up, out of vice and useless attachments, and attach my mind to the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. Doubt, fear and attachment are eradicated if one follows Guru's Teachings.  Bless me with Vision of Your Darshan. Let my mind be as humble as the dust of everyone; may I abandon my egotistical intellect. Please bless me with Your devotional worship, O Merciful Lord; by great good fortune, O Nanak, I have found the Lord.

Shabad Interpretation in English:

My inner being is filled with love for my Beloved Husband Waheguru. How can I live without Him? As long as I do not have the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, how can I submerge myself in the Ambrosial Nectar? How can I drink and submerge in the Ambrosial Nectar without the Lord? I cannot survive without Him. Everyday, I cry out to you O Beloved, day and night. Without my Husband Lord Waheguru, my thirst is not quenched. Please, bless me with Your Grace, O my Beloved Lord Waheguru, that I may dwell on the Name of the Lord, forever. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I have met my Beloved; I am a sacrifice to the True Guru.
