Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The worth of the One's essence cannot be described. It soaks the homes of the holy.
You could spend millions and never buy it — only the one destined for it receives it.
This one says the best taste of all cannot be bought. It can only be received as a gift.
Har ras kee keemat kahee na jaa-ay means "the worth of the One's taste cannot be told." Har ras saadhoo haat samaa-ay means "it is found in the shops of the holy." Those "shops" are the gatherings of good people, the Sangat, where the One is remembered together.
Laakh karoree milai na kayh means "even with lakhs and crores, it cannot be had." A lakh is a hundred thousand, and a crore is ten million. All the money in the world cannot buy it.
Jisahi paraapat tis hee deh means "it is given to the one meant to receive it." It comes as a gift, by grace.
Think of a friend's love. You cannot buy it with the biggest present. It is freely given. The best things in life are like that.
What is something truly valuable that no amount of money could buy?
