Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One fills its whole home with countless jewels of love.
When it came into my heart, I gazed at its goodness and became joyful, joyful, joyful.
When the good comes into your heart, it's like a home filling with jewels — and you become joyful, joyful, joyful.
The verse bursts with joy at arrival: "the Lord Himself has come into my home... gazing upon the Lord, I have become blissful, blissful, blissful." Guru Ram Das repeats the word three times — a heart too glad to say it once. The One's "home" is "studded with countless jewels" of love. For a child: when the good comes into your heart, it's like a home filling with jewels — and you become joyful, joyful, joyful.
