Pauree:

ਆਪੇ ਅਠਸਠਿ ਤੀਰਥ ਕਰਤਾ ਆਪਿ ਕਰੇ ਇਸਨਾਨੁ ॥

aape atthasatth teerath karataa aap kare isanaan |

The Creator Himself is the sixty-eight sacred places of pilgrimage; He Himself takes the cleansing bath in them.

ਆਪੇ ਸੰਜਮਿ ਵਰਤੈ ਸ੍ਵਾਮੀ ਆਪਿ ਜਪਾਇਹਿ ਨਾਮੁ ॥

aape sanjam varatai svaamee aap japaaeihi naam |

He Himself practices austere self-discipline; the Lord Master Himself causes us to chant His Name.

ਆਪਿ ਦਇਆਲੁ ਹੋਇ ਭਉ ਖੰਡਨੁ ਆਪਿ ਕਰੈ ਸਭੁ ਦਾਨੁ ॥

aap deaal hoe bhau khanddan aap karai sabh daan |

He Himself becomes merciful to us; the Destroyer of fear Himself gives in charity to all.

ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਆਪਿ ਬੁਝਾਏ ਸੋ ਸਦ ਹੀ ਦਰਗਹਿ ਪਾਏ ਮਾਨੁ ॥

jis no guramukh aap bujhaae so sad hee darageh paae maan |

One whom He has enlightened and made Gurmukh, ever obtains honor in His Court.

ਜਿਸ ਦੀ ਪੈਜ ਰਖੈ ਹਰਿ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਸੋ ਸਚਾ ਹਰਿ ਜਾਨੁ ॥੧੪॥

jis dee paij rakhai har suaamee so sachaa har jaan |14|

One whose honor the Lord Master has preserved, comes to know the True Lord. ||14||
