Saarang, Fifth Mehl:
ਧਨਵੰਤ ਨਾਮ ਕੇ ਵਣਜਾਰੇ ॥
Dhanvant naam kay vanjaaray.
Those who deal in the Naam, the Name of the Lord, are wealthy.
ਸਾਂਝੀ ਕਰਹੁ ਨਾਮ ਧਨੁ ਖਾਟਹੁ ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਵੀਚਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
saaNjhee karahu naam Dhan khaatahu gur kaa sabad veechaaray. ||1|| rahaa-o.
So become a partner with them, and earn the wealth of the Naam. Contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who trade in the Naam are the rich ones.
Become their partner, earn the wealth of the Naam, and reflect on the Guru's Word.
The richest people are the ones trading in the Name, whatever their pockets hold.
Trading in the Naam makes a person rich.
Dhanvant naam kay vanjaaray — dealers in the Name are wealthy — is Guru Arjan's merchant image at full strength. SaaNjhee karahu — become a partner — makes the wealth shared, not hoarded; sabad veechaaray, contemplating the word, is how the earning is done.
