Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O my mind, my dear friend, the Naam is my wealth, all I have to trade with.
The perfect Guru planted the Naam firmly in me; the One is my support, and I celebrate the One.
The Naam is my true wealth, and the Guru planted it deep inside me.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. The heart is called man pi-aari-aa mitraa, my dear friend, my mind. It says the Name is my dhan raas, my true wealth. The perfect Teacher set it firmly inside, naam drirh-aa-i-aa.
Now the One is dheerak, my steady support, and the heart celebrates. Think of a savings jar a grandparent started for you. It keeps growing, and it helps you feel steady. The Name is a wealth like that, and it never runs out.
What is something valuable to you that is not money?
