ਖਾਤ ਖਰਚਤ ਨਿਬਹਤ ਰਹੈ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੁ ਅਖੂਟ ॥
khaat kharchat nibhat rahai gur sabad akhoot.
Eating and expending it, it is always available; the Word of the Guru's Shabad is inexhaustible.
ਪੂਰਨ ਭਈ ਸਮਗਰੀ ਕਬਹੂ ਨਹੀ ਤੂਟ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
pooran bha-ee samagree kabhoo nahee toot. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Everything is perfectly arranged; it is never exhausted. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You can eat from it and spend it freely, and it never runs low — the Guru's Word is endless.
Everything is arranged, full and complete, and it is never used up.
The best treasures are the ones you can give away and still have.
Khaat kharchat nibhat rahai, gur sabad akhoot — the inexhaustible Word; pooran bha-ee samagree, kabhoo nahee toot — never used up. A treasure without end.
