Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Every treasure and every strength comes to the one whose heart delights the One.
You do not have to chase them; nearness brings them.
Being close to the One brings everything worth having.
Na-o niDh means "the nine treasures." It is an old picture of having everything, full to the brim. RiDh and siDh mean riches and special powers.
All these come to the one who is dear to the One. But the point is not power. The point is closeness. Nearness to the One already holds every good thing.
Think of a kid who stays close to Grandma in the kitchen. They never ask for cookies. But when the cookies come out, they are right there.
You do not have to chase the treasures. Nearness brings them.
What do you already have that is worth more than any prize?
