Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

I have found a treasure beyond price — jewels that never run out, no matter how much you take.

Servant Nanak says, when the One poured kindness over me, my heart drank deeply of that sweetness.

The richest treasure is inside you, and it never runs out.
The deeper layer

Bahut khajaanay... amol laal aakhootaa — a great treasure, priceless jewels that never run out. When kirpaa dhaaree, grace was poured out, the heart har ras ghootaa, drank deeply of the One's sweetness. The richest treasure is inside you, and the more you draw on it, the more there is.

A Question to Sit With

What is a kind of wealth that grows the more you share it?
