Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

I drank the sweet nectar from the treasure of all treasures, and my mind and body filled with joy.

Nanak says: may the One, who is pure delight, always stay bright in my mind.

The deepest treasure is one you can taste inside as joy.
The deeper layer

Nidh nidhaan amrit pee-aa, man tan aanand — the treasure tasted; kabahu na veesrai prabh parmaanand — the One as supreme bliss, always held in mind. Joy is tasted within.

A Question to Sit With

What fills you with a joy that feels like it comes from inside?
