Jithhai Har Aradhheeai Thithhai Har Mith Sehaee ||

Wherever the Lord is worshipped in adoration, there the Lord becomes one's friend and helper.

ਗੁਰ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਤੇ ਹਰਿ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਬਿਧਿ ਲਇਆ ਨ ਜਾਈ ॥੧॥

Gur Kirapa Thae Har Man Vasai Horath Bidhh Laeia N Jaee ||1||

By Guru's Grace, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind; He cannot be obtained in any other way. ||1||

So gather in the wealth of the Lord, O Siblings of Destiny,

ਜਿ ਹਲਤਿ ਪਲਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਹੋਇ ਸਖਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

J Halath Palath Har Hoe Sakhaee ||1|| Rehao ||

So that in this world and the next, the Lord shall be your friend and companion. ||1||Pause||

In the company of the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, you shall earn the wealth of the Lord; this wealth of the Lord is not obtained anywhere else, by any other means, at all.

Har Rathanai Ka Vapareea Har Rathan Dhhan Vihajhae Kachai Kae Vapareeeae Vak Har Dhhan Laeia N Jaee ||2||

The dealer in the Lord's Jewels purchases the wealth of the Lord's jewels; the dealer in cheap glass jewels cannot acquire the Lord's wealth by empty words. ||2||

The Lord's wealth is like jewels, gems and rubies. At the appointed time in the Amrit Vaylaa, the ambrosial hours of the morning, the Lord's devotees lovingly center their attention on the Lord, and the wealth of the Lord.

ਹਰਿ ਧਨੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਵੇਲੈ ਵਤੈ ਕਾ ਬੀਜਿਆ ਭਗਤ ਖਾਇ ਖਰਚਿ ਰਹੇ ਨਿਖੁਟੈ ਨਾਹੀ ॥

Har Dhhan Anmrith Vaelai Vathai Ka Beejia Bhagath Khae Kharach Rehae Nikhuttai Nahee ||

The devotees of the Lord plant the seed of the Lord's wealth in the ambrosial hours of the Amrit Vaylaa; they eat it, and spend it, but it is never exhausted.

In this world and the next, the devotees are blessed with glorious greatness, the wealth of the Lord. ||3||

The wealth of the Fearless Lord is permanent, forever and ever, and true. This wealth of the Lord cannot be destroyed by fire or water; neither thieves nor the Messenger of Death can take it away.

Har Dhhan Ko Ouchaka Naerr N Avee Jam Jagathee Ddandd N Lagaee ||4||

Thieves cannot even approach the Lord's wealth; Death, the tax collector cannot tax it. ||4||

Sakathee Pap Kar Kai Bikhia Dhhan Sanchia Thina Eik Vikh Nal N Jaee ||

The faithless cynics commit sins and gather in their poisonous wealth, but it shall not go along with them for even a single step.

Halathai Vich Sakath Dhuhaelae Bheae Hathhahu Shhurrak Gaeia Agai Palath Sakath Har Dharageh Dtoee N Paee ||5||

In this world, the faithless cynics become miserable, as it slips away through their hands. In the world hereafter, the faithless cynics find no shelter in the Court of the Lord. ||5||

ਇਸੁ ਹਰਿ ਧਨ ਕਾ ਸਾਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਹੈ ਸੰਤਹੁ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਦੇਇ ਸੁ ਹਰਿ ਧਨੁ ਲਦਿ ਚਲਾਈ ॥

Eis Har Dhhan Ka Sahu Har Ap Hai Santhahu Jis No Dhaee S Har Dhhan Ladh Chalaee ||

The Lord Himself is the Banker of this wealth, O Saints; when the Lord gives it, the mortal loads it and takes it away.

ਇਸੁ ਹਰਿ ਧਨੈ ਕਾ ਤੋਟਾ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਕਉ ਗੁਰਿ ਸੋਝੀ ਪਾਈ ॥੬॥੩॥੧੦॥

This wealth of the Lord is never exhausted; the Guru has given this understanding to servant Nanak. ||6||3||10||
