Second Mehl:

ਆਪੇ ਸਾਜੇ ਕਰੇ ਆਪਿ ਜਾਈ ਭਿ ਰਖੈ ਆਪਿ ॥

aape saaje kare aap jaaee bhi rakhai aap |

He Himself creates and fashions the world, and He Himself keeps it in order.

ਤਿਸੁ ਵਿਚਿ ਜੰਤ ਉਪਾਇ ਕੈ ਦੇਖੈ ਥਾਪਿ ਉਥਾਪਿ ॥

tis vich jant upaae kai dekhai thaap uthaap |

Having created the beings within it, He oversees their birth and death.

ਕਿਸ ਨੋ ਕਹੀਐ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਆਪੇ ਆਪਿ ॥੨॥

kis no kaheeai naanakaa sabh kichh aape aap |2|

Unto whom should we speak, O Nanak, when He Himself is all-in-all? ||2||
