This is what the Guru Granth Sahib says about this month:

ਪੋਖਿ ਤ੝ਖਾਰ੝ ਨ ਵਿਆਪਈ ਕੰਠਿ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਹ੝ ॥ ਮਨ੝ ਬੇਧਿਆ ਚਰਨਾਰਬਿੰਦ ਦਰਸਨਿ ਲਗੜਾ ਸਾਹ੝ ॥ ਓਟ ਗੋਵਿੰਦ ਗੋਪਾਲ ਰਾਇ ਸੇਵਾ ਸ੝ਆਮੀ ਲਾਹ੝ ॥ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਪੋਹਿ ਨ ਸਕਈ ਮਿਲਿ ਸਾਧੂ ਗ੝ਣ ਗਾਹ੝ ॥ ਜਹ ਤੇ ਉਪਜੀ ਤਹ ਮਿਲੀ ਸਚੀ ਪ੝ਰੀਤਿ ਸਮਾਹ੝ ॥ ਕਰ੝ ਗਹਿ ਲੀਨੀ ਪਾਰਬ੝ਰਹਮਿ ਬਹ੝ੜਿ ਨ ਵਿਛ੝ੜੀਆਹ੝ ॥ ਬਾਰਿ ਜਾਉ ਲਖ ਬੇਰੀਆ ਹਰਿ ਸਜਣ੝ ਅਗਮ ਅਗਾਹ੝ ॥ ਸਰਮ ਪਈ ਨਾਰਾਇਣੈ ਨਾਨਕ ਦਰਿ ਪਈਆਹ੝ ॥ ਪੋਖ੝ ਸ੝ੋਹੰਦਾ ਸਰਬ ਸ੝ਖ ਜਿਸ੝ ਬਖਸੇ ਵੇਪਰਵਾਹ੝ ॥11॥

pokh thukhaar n viaapee ka(n)t(h) miliaa har naahu ॥ man baedhhiaa charanaarabi(n)dh dharasan lagarraa saahu ॥ outt govi(n)dh gopaal raae saevaa suaamee laahu ॥ bikhiaa pohi n sakee mil saadhhoo gun gaahu ॥ jeh thae oupajee theh milee sachee preeth samaahu ॥ kar gehi leenee paarabreham bahurr n vishhurreeaahu ॥ baar jaao lakh baereeaa har sajan agam agaahu ॥ saram pee naaraaeinai naanak dhar peeaahu ॥ pokh suoha(n)dhaa sarab sukh jis bakhasae vaeparavaahu ॥11॥

In the month of Poh, the cold does not touch those, whom the Husband Lord hugs close in His Embrace. Their minds are transfixed by His Lotus Feet. They are attached to the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan. Seek the Protection of the Lord of the Universe; His service is truly profitable. Corruption shall not touch you, when you join the Holy Saints and sing the Lord's Praises. From where it originated, there the soul is blended again. It is absorbed in the Love of the True Lord. When the Supreme Lord God grasps someone's hand, he shall never again suffer separation from Him. I am a sacrifice, 100,000 times, to the Lord, my Friend, the Unapproachable and Unfathomable. Please preserve my honor, Lord; Nanak begs at Your Door. Poh is beautiful, and all comforts come to that one, whom the Carefree Lord has forgiven. ((11))
