ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਧਨੁ ਹੈ ਰਿਦ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਧਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਸਰਣਾਈ ਪਾਵੈਗੋ ॥
raam naam Dhan hai rid antar Dhan gur sarnaa-ee paavaigo.
The wealth of the Lord's Name is deep within the heart. In the Sanctuary of the Guru, this wealth is found.
ਨਾਨਕ ਦਇਆ ਦਇਆ ਕਰਿ ਦੀਨੀ ਦੁਖੁ ਦਾਲਦੁ ਭੰਜਿ ਸਮਾਵੈਗੋ ॥੮॥੫॥
naanak da-i-aa da-i-aa kar deenee dukh daalad bhanj samaavaigo. ||8||5||
O Nanak, God has been kind and compassionate; He has blessed me. Removing pain and poverty, He has blended me with Himself. ||8||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The wealth of the Lord's Naam is deep inside the heart. In the Guru's shelter, this wealth is found.
Nanak says: the One has been kind, so kind, and has blessed me. Taking away pain and poverty, the One has drawn me in to merge with the One.
The treasure you seek is already hidden deep inside your own heart.
The treasure of the Naam is already inside you, and the Guru's shelter is where you find it.
Rid antar: deep in the heart. Gur sarnaa-ee: the Guru's shelter. Da-i-aa da-i-aa: kindness, kindness, said twice for its fullness. Dukh daalad bhanj: breaking pain and poverty. Samaavaigo: merged, like a drop of water into the ocean.
