Answer given by Amardeep Singh is below:

Meaning of SAT SRI AKAL-"He/She Be Blessed Who says Truth is God".

EXPLANATION
SAT-
1.TRUTH,SACH
REFERENCES
IK ONKAAR SATNAAM…(MOOL MANTAR)
Here sat means truth;the name of lord is truth
2.EXISTENT
Kafi jagah sach/sat ho sakda but eh mumkin hai jis bare keha ja reha oh is same exist nahi karda.
For example-eh sat hai ke there were dinosaurs on earth,but they do not exist now.
Eh sat hai ke assi aj roti khadi,but it does not exist now,usda astitva khatam ho gaya.

So sat da meaning can’t b completed by saying dat sat is truth and existent in context of waheguru ji.
Kyunki waheguru ji sach ve net e maujood vi..
Ref. :-
SACHE SAHIBA KYA NAHI GHAR TERE
Here God nu sach(truth) keha hai
Eh saanu kitho pata lagge ki waheguru ji exist karde ne
Ref.:-
jeh jeh pekho theh hajoor door kathu n jaei (GGS 677)
isto pata lag gaya waheguru ji maujood vi han
note-jo vi cheez asi vekh lende ha oh sach hundi hai,apart from few
I hope mai sat bare apne vichaar sahi tarah aap g nu samjha sakya ha

SRI-
Sri is a word which denotes respect just like the Punjabi words Ji or Sahib; also implies that the person or item is great

AKAAL-
Eh do shabad to banya hai- a+kaal
Kaal means-
1.Time
2.Death
So akaal da meaning hoya jo timeless hai deathless hai..
Asi jaande hi ha ke waheguru ji hi AKAAL ne,Shabad Guru hi AKAAL hai.
GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI nu v asi AKAAL keh sakde ha,bhaav guru nu,be o nanak ji hon ja una di koi jot.
Ref-
Gur parmesar eko jaan (GGS864)
Ref of akaal
nriboojh hai,asoojh hai, akaal hai, ajaal hai-JAAP SAHIB

SO SAT SRI AKAAL DA MEANING HOYA- KI AKAAL(GOD,ALMIGHTY) SAT NE,(TRUTH,EXISTENT).
Je asi is tuk nu-SAT SRI AKAAL nu aggo di padiye ta esda arth hoyga ki TRUTH IS GOD..gall vi sahi hai ke sach hi rabbji han
SAT SRI AKAAL CAN’T BE COMPLETED BY SAYING
JO BOLE SO NIHAAL SAT SRI AKAAL
Is line vich kitni vadiyayi hai.jo bolega sat sri akal o nihaal ho jayga,manne ya na bas bole-(jo bole so nihaal)
SIKHS MOSTLY GREET BY SAYING SAT SRI AKAAL,
WHEREAS KHALSA’S GREETING IS WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH.

POEM

KIVEN MILAAVA NAZRAN MAI AJ BHENA NAAL,
KIVEN AAKHAN MA MAI TAINU AJ SAT SRI AKAAL.

SAT SRI AKAAL SABHDE MAN GHAR KAR JAYE,

IK ARDAAS HAI TE IK ARJOI VI,
SAT SRI AKAL AAKH NIHAAL HOVO HUN SABH KOI BAI.
