aap aapni budhi hai jaiti. barnt bhinun bhinun taiti. tumra lkha na jaeh psara. keh bidhi prthm sunsara. (17)
Every one according to his understanding, describes You differently. The limits of Your creation cannot be known, nor how in the beginning You created the Universes. (17)
aikai roop anoop sroopa. runk bhyo rav kehi bhoopa. audj jairj saitj kini. ootbhuj khani bhor rchi deeni (18)

(In Sikh Gurbani, Allah is described as Universal , All Prevading God, present in all His creation. But in the Quran, it is described very differently.) Hence, all Muslim beliefs differ in concept from Sikhism. It is often found that Muslims tend to sing Gurbani only if the word Allah is present. But to Sikhs Allah, Ram, Vaheguru, Hari are all different words expressing the same Universal Creator, One God.

You know what? This takes the hatred and anger out of the discussion of Allah, Ram and brings it back into focus on One God. At the same time it preserves the core of Sikhi.

Theory of Raag BasantThe name Basant is from Sanskrit vasant meaning spring, and during that season of the year Basant may be performed at any time of the day or night. Otherwise, it is reserved for the night between 9 p.m. and midnight. The Ragmala gives Basant as a putra (son) of Hindol, also a spring raga. Today it belongs to the Purvi thata. The only variant noted in the Holy Book is Basant-Hindol. Basant is a very old raga dating from the 8th century. Guru Nanak, Guru Amar Das, Guru Ram Das, Guru Arjan and Guru Tegh Bahadur composed sabdas to this raga. Performed in slow tempo, this gentle melody depicts quiet joy. The descending scale is usually found at the beginning of a composition with the ascending form following later.

Source:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=16516 (Kirtan with English sub-titles)
According to Indian Schools of music this raga has very gentle mood and represents loneliness and quiet joy and is to be performed in a dignified slow tempo The raga belongs to Purvi thaht.
