In plain words

What a blessed moment, when the heart gets to see the One — I'm so grateful for the wisdom that brings it.

What a blessed moment when your heart gets to be near what it loves.
The deeper layer

A short, glad shabad. "Blessed is that time when the Darshan is given; I am a sacrifice to the feet of the True Guru." Pure gratitude for the moment of seeing and for the wisdom that makes it possible.
