ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਧਨੁ ਸੰਚਿਆ ਸਾਬਤੁ ਪੂੰਜੀ ਰਾਸਿ ॥
raam naam Dhan sanchi-aa saabat poonjee raas.
I have gathered in the wealth of the Lord's Name. My facilities and faculties are intact, safe and sound.
ਨਾਨਕ ਦਰਗਹ ਮੰਨਿਆ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੇ ਸਾਬਾਸਿ ॥੧੪॥੧॥੨॥੧੧॥
naanak dargeh mani-aa gur pooray saabaas. ||14||1||2||11||
O Nanak, I am approved and respected in the Court of the Lord; the Perfect Guru has blessed me! ||14||1||2||11||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one wealth I've truly gathered is the Name — and unlike money, none of it leaks away; it stays whole and safe.
Carrying that, I'm welcomed and honored in the truest place of all. The complete teaching brought me here — and for that, my whole heart says thank you.
The wealth of the Name stays whole where money leaks away.
raam naam dhan sanchi-aa, saabat poonjee raas — the wealth (dhan) of the Name is gathered, and the capital (poonjee) stays whole (saabat); naanak dargeh mani-aa, gur pooray saabaas — honored in the Court (dargeh), with a grateful saabaas (well done!) to the teaching. Closes ||14||1||2||11||.
