ਸਲੋਕ ਮਹਲਾ ੨ ॥

salok mahalaa 2 |

Salok, Second Mehl:

ਆਪਿ ਉਪਾਏ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਆਪੇ ਰਖੈ ਵੇਕ ॥

aap upaae naanakaa aape rakhai vek |

He Himself creates, O Nanak; He establishes the various creatures.

ਮੰਦਾ ਕਿਸ ਨੋ ਆਖੀਐ ਜਾਂ ਸਭਨਾ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਏਕੁ ॥

mandaa kis no aakheeai jaan sabhanaa saahib ek |

How can anyone be called bad? We have only One Lord and Master.

ਸਭਨਾ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਏਕੁ ਹੈ ਵੇਖੈ ਧੰਧੈ ਲਾਇ ॥

sabhanaa saahib ek hai vekhai dhandhai laae |

There is One Lord and Master of all; He watches over all, and assigns all to their tasks.

ਕਿਸੈ ਥੋੜਾ ਕਿਸੈ ਅਗਲਾ ਖਾਲੀ ਕੋਈ ਨਾਹਿ ॥

kisai thorraa kisai agalaa khaalee koee naeh |

Some have less, and some have more; no one is allowed to leave empty.

ਆਵਹਿ ਨੰਗੇ ਜਾਹਿ ਨੰਗੇ ਵਿਚੇ ਕਰਹਿ ਵਿਥਾਰ ॥

aaveh nange jaeh nange viche kareh vithaar |

Naked we come, and naked we go; in between, we put on a show.

ਨਾਨਕ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਨ ਜਾਣੀਐ ਅਗੈ ਕਾਈ ਕਾਰ ॥੧॥

naanak hukam na jaaneeai agai kaaee kaar |1|

O Nanak, one who does not understand the Hukam of God's Command - what will he have to do in the world hereafter? ||1||
