Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
He stands exposed, like a counterfeit coin, when the great Assayer inspects him.
The One who knows the inside, who searches every heart, knows it all — how could anything be hidden from Him?
This one says you can fool people, but not the One who sees inside.
The picture is a fake coin. It may pass from hand to hand at the market. But when the saraafaa, the coin-tester, looks closely, the fake is caught. Think of a fake bill that works at a busy shop, but not in the bank's counting machine.
The One is that tester. The One is antarjaamee, the Knower of what is inside every heart. So nothing can be hidden. Being real cannot be faked before the One who sees inside. (See also Shabad 99.)
What is the difference between looking genuine and actually being genuine?
