Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

I sing, oh I sing the songs of joy of the One, the treasure of every good thing.

Lucky is the time, lucky the day and the moment, when I please the Lord of the world.

There is a special joy in the moment your life lines up with what is good.
The deeper layer

The One is the treasure of virtue, the source of all goodness. "I sing", said twice, is joy overflowing, and "fortunate union" celebrates the moment of alignment when the soul becomes pleasing to the One.

A Question to Sit With

When have you felt a moment where everything just seemed to fit together rightly?
