Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The melody of the One is lovely and noble.

The lotus feet of my Master are beautiful beyond compare. Whoever remembers them becomes holy.

Beauty itself can be a doorway to the One.
The deeper layer

The One's melody (neekee dhun) is noble and its beauty incomparable (anoop) — and simply resting your mind there makes you whole. Beauty itself can be a doorway in.

A Question to Sit With

What sound or sight is so beautiful it makes you feel still inside?
