Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

With her Beloved Husband, the soul-bride enjoys millions of melodies, delights and joys.

Nanak says: repeating the Naam of the One, she receives the fruit her heart wished for.

Being close to what you love turns life into a kind of music.
The deeper layer

Naad binod anand kod — countless sounds, plays, and joys shared with the Beloved. Man baanchhat fal — the fruit the heart wished for, obtained by naam bhanay, the loving utterance of the Name. Reunion overflows into joy.

A Question to Sit With

What fills your life with a sense of music or delight?
