Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Now I have found the wealth of the Naam.
I am free of worry, and all my thirst is quenched. This was written for me all along.
At last I've found the treasure that lasts: the Naam.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Dhan means wealth. But this wealth is har naamaa, the Name. It is not money. It is the living presence of the One, held in your heart.
Trisan means thirst. It is the craving that never fills up, however much you get. Think of scrolling a feed that never ends. The Name is what finally quiets that thirst. Achint means carefree, no longer nibbled by worry.
The old verse speaks of destiny "written on my forehead." Put simply, this belonging was waiting for me all along.
What is a wanting that never seems to fill up no matter how much you get?
