ਗੁਰਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਸਿਖਣਾ ਸਬਦਿ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਸਤਿਸੰਗਤਿ ਸਿਖੈ ।

gurasikhee daa sikhanaa sabad surat satisangat sikhai |

To learn about Sikh-life, one ought to merge one's consciousness in the Word in the holy congregation.

ਗੁਰਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਲਿਖਣਾ ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਸੁਣਿ ਸਮਝੈ ਲਿਖੈ ।

gurasikhee daa likhanaa gurabaanee sun samajhai likhai |

Writing about Sikh life is to go on listening, understanding and continuously writing.

ਗੁਰਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਸਿਮਰਣੋ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮੰਤੁ ਕੋਲੂ ਰਸੁ ਇਖੈ ।

gurasikhee daa simarano satigur mant koloo ras ikhai |

Simran, meditation in Sikh life is learning the Guru-mantra (Vahiguru) which is sweet like sugarcane juice.

ਗੁਰਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਵਰਤਮਾਨੁ ਚੰਦਨ ਵਾਸੁ ਨਿਵਾਸੁ ਬਿਰਿਖੈ ।

gurasikhee daa varatamaan chandan vaas nivaas birikhai |

The spirit of the Sikhism is like fragrance residing in sandalwood trees.

ਗੁਰਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਬੁਝਣਾ ਬੁਝਿ ਅਬੁਝਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਲੈ ਭਿਖੈ ।

gurasikhee daa bujhanaa bujh abujh hovai lai bhikhai |

The understanding of a Sikh of the Guru consists in the fact that even after having received the gifted alms (of nom) and being fully knowledgeable, he considered himself as ignorant.

ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਣਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਦਾਨੁ ਇਸਨਾਨੁ ਸਰਿਖੈ ।

saadhasangat gur sabad sun naam daan isanaan sarikhai |

The Sikh of the Guru, in the holy congregation listens to the word of the Guru and practises meditation, charity and ablution,

ਵਰਤਮਾਨੁ ਲੰਘਿ ਭੂਤ ਭਵਿਖੈ ।੫।

varatamaan langh bhoot bhavikhai |5|

And thus goes across the past present to a new the future.
