ਭਉ ਨਹੀ ਤਸਕਰ ਪਉਣ ਨ ਪਾਨੀ ॥
bha-o nahee taskar pa-un na paanee.
I have no fear of thieves, of wind or water.
ਸਹਜਿ ਵਿਹਾਝੀ ਸਹਜਿ ਲੈ ਜਾਨੀ ॥
sahj vihaajee sahj lai jaanee.
I have easily made my purchase, and I easily take it away.
ਸਤ ਕੈ ਖਟਿਐ ਦੁਖੁ ਨਹੀ ਪਾਇਆ ॥
sat kai khati-ai dukh nahee paa-i-aa.
I have earned Truth, and I shall have no pain.
ਸਹੀ ਸਲਾਮਤਿ ਘਰਿ ਲੈ ਆਇਆ ॥੩॥
sahee salaamat ghar lai aa-i-aa. ||3||
I have brought this merchandise home, safe and sound. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have no fear of thieves, or wind, or water.
I made my purchase easily, and I carry it away easily.
I have earned Truth, so I will have no pain. I have brought this merchandise safely home.
The Name is the one wealth no thief, fire, or flood can ever take from you.
The great advantage of this merchandise: it is theft-proof and disaster-proof — "no fear of thieves, of wind or water." Worldly wealth can be stolen, blown away, or flooded; the Name cannot. Having "earned Truth," the soul is beyond loss and so beyond pain.
