Baisakhi or Vaisakhi Festival is celebrated as the Sikh New Year and the founding of the Khalsa Panth.

The auspicious festival of Baisakhi is celebrated on first day of Vaisakh month (April-May) according to the Nanakshahi calendar. Hence, the festival of Baisakhi is also popularly known as Vaisakhi. According to Gregorian Calendar, Baisakhi falls on April 13 every year and on April 14 once in 36 years.

Baisakhi Songs
Chorus:
Tana tanak,
Teri bodi mere hath,
Meri gutt tere hath,
Maeno rakhna e rakh,
Maeno kadna e kad!
Maeyon tere naal vasiyan,
te hor koi vase vi na
Maeyon tere naal kattiyan,
te hor koi kate ve na
Translation of the chorus:
Tana Tanak (suddenly)
I've got you by the hair (bodi) (hath=hand) You've got me by the braid (gutt) If you want to keep (rakhna) me, then keep me
If you want to throw me out (kadna) then do it (.....but let me tell you)
I'm the only one who would live with you (vasna=live) , no one else (hor koi) would I'm the only one who can endure you, (kattiyan=put up with, endure) no body else (hor koi) would.

Oh Veer, meriya ho jugni
Verr meriya o jugni gaoundi hai
Oh sab da dil paraondi hai

[Jonty509]
