Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

This is a good time — a truly perfect moment.

In deep peace and quiet joy I hold the Name, and a music that no one struck plays on inside me.

The perfect moment is the one you actually turn toward the One.
The deeper layer

Bhalo samoorat pooraa — the auspicious hour is not found on a calendar; it is now, whenever the heart turns. Anhad tooraa is the unstruck sound, an inner music; sahj is natural, effortless ease.

A Question to Sit With

Have you ever felt a quiet happiness with no cause you could point to?
