O GurSikhs, chant the Name of the Lord, O my Siblings of Destiny.

Chanting the Lord's Name, all sins are washed away. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O students of the teacher, keep the One's name alive. Saying it, all your wrongs are washed clean.
Keep the One's name, and what weighs on you is washed clean.
The Rahao: a direct call to the GurSikhs to chant -- the Name as what washes away sins (cf. the cleansing within). Communal address: practice is something done together, as a community of disciples.
