Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One shares a treasure with those whose hearts are open to it: the wealth of the Name, true and lasting.
This wealth never runs dry — no one has ever measured its full worth.
With that wealth, faces light up, and you find the true One.
The opening is all abundance. Akhut naam dhan — "the inexhaustible wealth of the Name" — kaday nikhutai naahee, never running out, and kinai na keemat ho-ay, beyond price. This is Guru Amar Das's favorite theme: the Name is a treasure that, unlike money, cannot be depleted or valued — the more it is shared the fuller it grows. Mukh ujlay — "faces grow radiant" — a recurring image for the inner light of a life lived truly. A generous, glowing opening for the shabad.
What is something good in your life that only grows the more you share it?
