English translation:"to your heart's content"

Explanation:
the "kalbince" there means "to your heart's content", "as you want"

So, we can translate the meaning roughly as "I hope everything will be to your heart's content", or "I hope everything will be as you wanted", etc.

a correction: the last "wanted" is wrong, it should be "want", since we are speaking about the future.

Mehmet Hascan: no for ''to your heart’s content'' because ıt means ''as much as you want''. For example : Open Buffet Breakfast, so you can eat or drink to your heart’s content. How about '' I hope you achieve your heart’s desire''?

-> Yes, exactly. Your alternative ("...heart’s desire'') could be considered.

agree

Özden Arıkan: "to your heart's content" is the best idiomatic equivalent for "gönlünce" (as far as I know, of course), which is the correct Turkish idiom, by the way. Never heard "kalbince" used in this expression.
