Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The luckiest people are not the ones with full pockets - they are the ones whose hearts are full of the Name. That is a treasure that does not run out.
Their being born counts for something real, and everything they set their hands to bears good fruit.
The richest house is the one full of the Name.
bhaagthahray - truly fortunate; ghar Dhan har naamaa - the home filled with the wealth of the Name; parvaan - accepted, approved; safal kaamaa - fruitful deeds. Inner wealth outranks outer wealth.
