Love Is My Springtime

ਬਸੰਤੁ ਹਮਾਰੈ ਰਾਮ ਰੰਗੁ ॥
basant hamaarai raam rang.
The love of the Lord is springtime for me.
ਸੰਤ ਜਨਾ ਸਿਉ ਸਦਾ ਸੰਗੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
sant janaa si-o sadaa sang. ||1|| rahaa-o.
I am always with the humble Saints. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Love for the One is my springtime.

I always stay in the company of the One's humble people.

Love can be a season you carry inside all year.
The deeper layer

Love for the One is a spring you carry inside, and you keep it by staying close to the One's people.

This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. basant hamaarai raam rang — love itself is my springtime. sant janaa sio sadaa sang — always in the company of the One's people.

A Question to Sit With

What feeling would you want to carry with you like an endless spring?
