Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One keeps everyone in sight, and made the whole universe.

Some the One has attached to lies and trickery; those who follow only their own mind are robbed.

Those who follow the Guru keep the One in mind forever. Their hearts are full of love.

Those who carry a treasure of goodness sing the One's praise.

Nanak says: keep the Naam in mind, and the praises of the True One.

The richest people are the ones whose hearts are full of love.
The deeper layer

The One keeps all creation in sight. Two ways stand side by side without cruelty: some are drawn into falsehood and are robbed, others fill with love and stay steady. It all settles on the treasure of goodness and the practice of simran, singing praise and keeping the Name near.

A Question to Sit With

What treasure do you carry that cannot be taken away?
