ਸੇ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਜਿਨ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਭਾਗੁ ਹੈ ਭਾਈ ਭਾਇ ਸਚੈ ਬੈਰਾਗੁ ॥
say gaavahi jin mastak bhaag hai bhaa-ee bhaa-ay sachai bairaag.
They alone sing the Lord's Praises, who have such pre-ordained destiny written upon their foreheads, O Siblings of Destiny; through the Love of the True Lord, they find detachment.
ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤੇ ਗੁਣ ਰਵਹਿ ਭਾਈ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਗੁਰ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੁ ॥੪॥
an-din raatay gun raveh bhaa-ee nirbha-o gur liv laag. ||4||
Night and day, they are imbued with His Love; they utter His Glorious Praises, O Siblings of Destiny, and they lovingly focus their consciousness on the Fearless Guru. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Some hearts are simply made for this song — and through love they grow light, no longer clutching at things.
Night and day they glow with it, speaking the One’s praises, resting their whole attention on the Fearless One.
Love makes the heart light and unclutching.
mastak bhaag — destiny “written on the forehead,” rendered as a heart made and ready for the song. bhaa-ay sachai bairaag — a detachment born of true love: not cold withdrawal but freedom from clinging. nirbha-o gur liv laag — attention fixed on the Fearless Guru (an echo of nirbhau in the Mool Mantar).
