ਜਨਮੁ ਜੀਤਿ ਲਾਹਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਾਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
janam jeet laahaa naam paa-ay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Be victorious in the game of life, and earn the profit of the Naam. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Turn toward the teaching, and keep the One in mind. Win the game of life by earning the one profit that counts: the Name.
Win at life by earning the one profit that lasts: the Name.
The Rahao: the game of life won by earning the Name (cf. win by letting the small self lose). The merchant image -- profit -- frames remembrance as the only investment that pays.
