In the vibrant and energetic ambiance of Basant Rag, Guru Amardas Sahib's Sabad captures the essence of springtime—a season of renewal, joy, and the departure of the cold winter. Traditionally sung during the spring, Basant Rag evokes feelings of liveliness and delight, mirroring the natural world's rejuvenation.

Spring arrives, flora blooms.
Consciousness connects with All-Pervasive, this fauna blooms. 1.
In this way, this mind becomes green:
Uttering All-Pervasive, All-Pervasive’s Nam day and night,
Becomes Guru-oriented, washes and removes ego. 1. Reflect.

Listens to Eternal-Guru’s Teaching and Sabad,
Loves Eternal-Guru, this world becomes green. 2.
Fruits and flowers grow, when You make them grow.

Eternal-Guru discovered, then connected with the Origin. 3.
You are the Spring, the whole world is the garden.
Nanak: Unique devotion is the complete fortune.
Guru Amardas Sahib in Rag Basant | Guru Granth Sahib 1176
