Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Good-hearted people find real joy simply in keeping the One in mind.

The Great Giver knows exactly what each of us needs — wiser than we know ourselves.

The Giver knows what you need better than you do.
The deeper layer

raam ramat santan sukh maanaa — the sant find sukh in ramat (repeating, dwelling on) the Name. naanak dayvanhaar sujaanaa — the giver is sujaan (all-knowing, wise). Trust in a giver who knows best. ||4||26||32||.
