Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
As long as the One is kind, a person never runs short of anything.
Nanak says: the Word is Baba Nanak's treasure that never runs out; eat it and spend it, and this wealth never runs low.
*The Word is a treasure that never runs out.*
The Word is a treasure that never runs out, however much it is used.
Tichar mool na thurheedo: one never runs short, jichar aap kirpaal, as long as the One is kind. Sabad akhut: the Word that never runs out. Khaahi kharach Dhan maal: eat it, spend it, and this wealth stays full. Most treasures shrink when they are spent; this one stays whole.
