ਤੋਟਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਅਖੁਟ ਭੰਡਾਰ ॥
tot na aavai akhut bhandaar.
This treasure is inexhaustible; it will never run out.

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The nooses of millions of lifetimes are cut away.
I have earned the profit of the true wealth.
This treasure never runs short — it can never be used up.
Nanak says: those who love the One look beautiful at the One's door.
The truest wealth is the kind that can never be used up.
Kot janam kay kaatay faahay — the nooses of millions of births are cut away, and the old bindings fall loose. Akhut bhandaar: the storehouse that never empties. Bhagat soheh har du-aar — those who love the One look beautiful at the One's door.
