ਮੇਰੈ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਆਪੁ ਲੁਕਾਇਆ ॥
mayrai parabh andar aap lukaa-i-aa.
My God has hidden Himself deep within the self.
ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਹਰਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਮਿਲਾਇਆ ॥
gur parsaadee har milai milaa-i-aa.
By Guru's Grace, one is united in the Lord's Union.
ਸਚਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸਚਾ ਵਾਪਾਰਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਅਮੋਲਕੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੦॥
sachaa parabh sachaa vaapaaraa naam amolak paa-idaa. ||10||
God is True, and True is His trade, through which the priceless Naam is obtained. ||10||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My One has tucked itself away deep inside me. By grace, I am brought into that union.
The One is True, and trading with the One is true too — and through it the priceless Naam is found.
The One you are seeking is hidden not far away but deep inside you.
The One has hidden itself (lukaa-i-aa) within the self; grace unites. The vaapaaraa (trade) with the True One is itself true, yielding the priceless (amolak) Naam. The treasure was never far — only hidden close.
