He alone is a Sikh, a friend, a relative and a sibling, who walks in the Way of the Guru's Will.
ਆਪਣੈ ਭਾਣੈ ਜੋ ਚਲੈ ਭਾਈ ਵਿਛੁੜਿ ਚੋਟਾ ਖਾਵੈ ॥
aapanai bhaanai jo chalai bhaaee vichhurr chottaa khaavai |
One who walks according to his own will, O Siblings of Destiny, suffers separation from the Lord, and shall be punished.
ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸੁਖੁ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ ਭਾਈ ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਪਛੋਤਾਵੈ ॥੧॥

Without the True Guru, peace is never obtained, O Siblings of Destiny; again and again, he regrets and repents. ||1||

har ke daas suhele bhaaee |
The Lord's slaves are happy, O Siblings of Destiny.

The sins and sorrows of countless lifetimes are eradicated; the Lord Himself unites them in His Union. ||Pause||
ਇਹੁ ਕੁਟੰਬੁ ਸਭੁ ਜੀਅ ਕੇ ਬੰਧਨ ਭਾਈ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾ ਸੈਂਸਾਰਾ ॥
eihu kuttanb sabh jeea ke bandhan bhaaee bharam bhulaa sainsaaraa |
All of these relatives are like chains upon the soul, O Siblings of Destiny; the world is deluded by doubt.
ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਬੰਧਨ ਟੂਟਹਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਮੋਖ ਦੁਆਰਾ ॥
bin gur bandhan ttootteh naahee guramukh mokh duaaraa |
Without the Guru, the chains cannot be broken; the Gurmukhs find the door of salvation.

The world is entangled in egotism and possessiveness, O Siblings of Destiny, but no one belongs to anyone else.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਮਹਲੁ ਪਾਇਨਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਨਿ ਨਿਜ ਘਰਿ ਹੋਇ ਬਸੇਰਾ ॥
guramukh mehal paaein gun gaavan nij ghar hoe baseraa |
The Gurmukhs attain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, singing the Glories of the Lord; they dwell in the home of their own inner being.

aithai boojhai su aap pachhaanai har prabh hai tis keraa |3|
One who understands here, realizes himself; the Lord God belongs to him. ||3||
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਸਦਾ ਦਇਆਲੁ ਹੈ ਭਾਈ ਵਿਣੁ ਭਾਗਾ ਕਿਆ ਪਾਈਐ ॥
satiguroo sadaa deaal hai bhaaee vin bhaagaa kiaa paaeeai |
The True Guru is forever merciful, O Siblings of Destiny; without good destiny, what can anyone obtain?
ਏਕ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਵੇਖੈ ਸਭ ਊਪਰਿ ਜੇਹਾ ਭਾਉ ਤੇਹਾ ਫਲੁ ਪਾਈਐ ॥
ek nadar kar vekhai sabh aoopar jehaa bhaau tehaa fal paaeeai |
He looks alike upon all with His Glance of Grace, but people receive the fruits of their rewards according to their love for the Lord.

O Nanak, when the Naam, the Name of the Lord, comes to dwell within the mind, then self-conceit is eradicated from within. ||4||6||
