an-din anad bha-i-aa vadbhaagee sabh aas pujee jan kayree. ||3||
Night and day, I am filled with bliss; by great good fortune, all of the hopes of His humble servant have been fulfilled. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The teacher, the giver, showed me the way, and the One came and met me. Now, day and night, I am full of joy; by great good fortune, all my hopes have been filled.

The teacher shows the way, the One comes, and the longing turns to constant joy.
The deeper layer

The fulfillment: the Guru shows the way, the One meets the soul, and the result is constant bliss and fulfilled hope -- by good fortune (grace). The longing of the earlier verses is answered.

A Question to Sit With

When has a long wait finally ended in joy?
