1O Nanak, obtains the Naam; his mind is pleased and appeased. ||4||1||

2Dhanaasaree, Third Mehla:

3The wealth of the Lord's Name is immaculate, and absolutely infinite.

4The Word of the Guru's Shabad is over-flowing with treasure.

5Know that, except for the wealth of the Name, all other wealth is poison.

6The egotistical people are burning in their attachment to Maya. ||1||

7How rare is that Gurmukh who tastes the sublime essence of the Lord.

8He is always in bliss, day and night; through perfect good destiny, he obtains the Name. ||Pause||

9The Word of the Shabad is a lamp, illuminating the three worlds.

10One who tastes it, becomes immaculate.

11The immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord, washes off the filth of ego.

12True devotional worship brings lasting peace. ||2||

13One who tastes the sublime essence of the Lord is the Lord's humble servant.

14He is forever happy; he is never sad.

15He himself is liberated, and he liberates others as well.

16He chants the Lord's Name, and through the Lord, he finds peace. ||3||

17Without the True Guru, everyone dies, crying out in pain.

18Night and day, they burn, and find no peace.

19But meeting the True Guru, all thirst is quenched.

20O Nanak, through the Naam, one finds peace and tranquility. ||4||2||

21Dhanaasaree, Third Mehla:

22Gather in and cherish forever the wealth of the Lord's Name, deep within;

23He cherishes and nurtures all beings and creatures.

24They alone obtain the treasure of Liberation,

25who are lovingly imbued with, and focused on the Lord's Name. ||1||

26Serving the Guru, one obtains the wealth of the Lord's Name.

27He is illumined and enlightened within, and he meditates on the Lord's Name. ||Pause||

28This love for the Lord is like the love of the bride for her husband.

29God ravishes and enjoys the soul-bride who is adorned with peace and tranquility.

30No one finds God through egotism.

31Wandering away from the Primal Lord, the root of all, one wastes his life in vain. ||2||

32Tranquility, celestial peace, pleasure and the Word of His Bani come from the Guru.

33True is that service, which leads one to merge in the Naam.

34Blessed with the Word of the Shabad, he meditates forever on the Lord, the Beloved.

35Through the True Name, glorious greatness is obtained. ||3||

36The Creator Himself abides throughout the ages.

37If He casts His Glance of Grace, then we meet Him.

38Through the Word of Gurbani, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind.

39O Nanak, God unites with Himself those who are imbued with Truth. ||4||3||

40Dhanaasaree, Third Mehla:

41The world is polluted, and those in the world become polluted as well.

42In attachment to duality, it comes and goes.

43This love of duality has ruined the entire world.

44The self-willed manmukh suffers punishment, and forfeits his honor. ||1||

45Serving the Guru, one becomes immaculate.

46He enshrines the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within, and his state becomes exalted. ||Pause||

47The Gurmukhs are saved, taking to the Lord's Sanctuary.

48Attuned to the Lord's Name, they commit themselves to devotional worship.

49The Lord's humble servant performs devotional worship, and is blessed with greatness.

50Attuned to Truth, he is absorbed in celestial peace. ||2||

51Know that one who purchases the True Name is very rare.

52Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he comes to understand himself.

53True is his capital, and true is his trade.

54Blessed is that person, who loves the Naam. ||3||

55God, the True Lord, has attached some to His True Name.

56They listen to the most sublime Word of His Bani, and the Word of His Shabad.
