Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Meeting my Beloved, my home turned into a place brimming with happiness.

I found the treasure of the One’s Name, and every longing was filled.

When the heart is filled, home becomes a palace.
The deeper layer

Ghar mandar sukh-daa-ee — the ordinary home becomes a palace, not by changing its walls but by who fills it. Har naam nidhaan is the Name as a treasure that satisfies wanting itself.

A Question to Sit With

What makes an ordinary place feel full of joy?
