Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One I love lives right here — in my mind, in my body, in every breath.

It is such a gift that I cannot even put a price on it; its worth is beyond any words I have.

The greatest gift lives already inside you, beyond any price.
The deeper layer

har man tan vasiaa — the Lord dwells in mind and body; jai jai kaar — acclaim, a shout of victory; keemat kahee na jaaee — the value cannot be told. The immeasurable gift of the divine dwelling within.

A Question to Sit With

What is something precious to you that no money could ever buy?
