Pauree:

ਕਾਇਆ ਕੋਟੁ ਰਚਾਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਸਚੈ ਆਪੇ ॥

kaaeaa kott rachaaeaa har sachai aape |

The True Lord Himself created the body-fortress.

ਇਕਿ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਖੁਆਇਅਨੁ ਹਉਮੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਵਿਆਪੇ ॥

eik doojai bhaae khuaaeian haumai vich viaape |

Some are ruined through the love of duality, engrossed in egotism.

ਇਹੁ ਮਾਨਸ ਜਨਮੁ ਦੁਲੰਭੁ ਸਾ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਸੰਤਾਪੇ ॥

eihu maanas janam dulanbh saa manamukh santaape |

This human body is so difficult to obtain; the self-willed manmukhs suffer in pain.

ਜਿਸੁ ਆਪਿ ਬੁਝਾਏ ਸੋ ਬੁਝਸੀ ਜਿਸੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਥਾਪੇ ॥

jis aap bujhaae so bujhasee jis satigur thaape |

He alone understands, whom the Lord Himself causes to understand; he is blessed by the True Guru.

ਸਭੁ ਜਗੁ ਖੇਲੁ ਰਚਾਇਓਨੁ ਸਭ ਵਰਤੈ ਆਪੇ ॥੧੩॥

sabh jag khel rachaaeon sabh varatai aape |13|

He created the entire world for His play; He is pervading amongst all. ||13||
