Often, I see words used in Gurbani dont have direct English translation. And in lot of situations, wrong word is picked up as a translation, hence changing the context.
However, in this particular case, ego/ahankaar should be taken more towards arrogance... which is certainly not a good human trait. Still more introspection makes me not to use 'proud' word too.
So yes, I agree with you, what you are saying.. but that may be just me
