Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever meets the Guru is carried across.
The Guru wipes away your faults, and goodness sets you free.
Thinking on the Guru's Word brings freedom and the deepest peace.
The one who faces the Guru never comes away beaten.
The body is a little shop, and the mind is the merchant in it.
Nanak says: that merchant trades in Truth, easily and naturally.
Your body is a little shop, and your mind is the merchant working there. Meeting the Guru turns its trade toward Truth.
Tan hattarhee, ih man vanjaaraa: the body is the shop and the mind the trader, the merchant picture that runs through Sidh Gosht. Avgan maytai, faults are wiped away, and gun nistaarai, goodness carries you over. Sahjay means naturally, with ease: honest trade becomes the mind's habit.
If your day were a shop, what would you want to be trading in?
