ਛੋਡਹੁ ਕਪਟੁ ਹੋਇ ਨਿਰਵੈਰਾ ਸੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸੰਗਿ ਨਿਹਾਰੇ ॥
chhodahu kapat ho-ay nirvairaa so parabh sang nihaaray.
Abandon your deception, and go beyond vengeance; see God who is always with you.
ਸਚੁ ਧਨੁ ਵਣਜਹੁ ਸਚੁ ਧਨੁ ਸੰਚਹੁ ਕਬਹੂ ਨ ਆਵਹੁ ਹਾਰੇ ॥੧॥
sach Dhan vanjahu sach Dhan sanchahu kabhoo na aavhu haaray. ||1||
Deal only in this true wealth and gather in this true wealth, and you shall never suffer loss. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Set down every trick and grudge, carry no enemies, and you will see the One who has been right beside you all along.
Deal only in what is real, gather only what is true, and you will never, ever come out at a loss.
Deal in what is real and honest, and you can never come out at a loss.
Honest trade with no grudges never ends in loss.
Chhodahu kapat ho-ay nirvairaa — drop deceit, hold no enmity — and so prabh sang nihaaray, you see the One already beside you. Sach dhan vanjahu — trade in true (sach) wealth — what is true never leaves you short: kabhoo na aavhu haaray, you never lose.
A Question to Sit With
When has being honest turned out to be the thing that never let you down?
