Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The finest people are the ones who deal in Truth.
They buy the true goods by reflecting on the Guru.
With that true wealth held safe in their lap, they are filled with the deep joy of the Word.
The noblest people trade in what is real and are rich with joy.
The neekay (noble) are vaapaaree (traders) in sach, Truth, buying the true goods by reflecting on the Guru. With that dhan (wealth) safe in their lap, they know the omaahaa (rapture) of the true sabad — the honest trade, crowned with joy.
