Pauree:

ਆਪੇ ਤੰਤੁ ਪਰਮ ਤੰਤੁ ਸਭੁ ਆਪੇ ਆਪੇ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਦਾਸੁ ਭਇਆ ॥

aape tant param tant sabh aape aape tthaakur daas bheaa |

He Himself is the supreme essence, He Himself is the essence of all. He Himself is the Lord and Master, and He Himself is the servant.

ਆਪੇ ਦਸ ਅਠ ਵਰਨ ਉਪਾਇਅਨੁ ਆਪਿ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਆਪਿ ਰਾਜੁ ਲਇਆ ॥

aape das atth varan upaaeian aap braham aap raaj leaa |

He Himself created the people of the eighteen castes; God Himself acquired His domain.

ਆਪੇ ਮਾਰੇ ਆਪੇ ਛੋਡੈ ਆਪੇ ਬਖਸੇ ਕਰੇ ਦਇਆ ॥

aape maare aape chhoddai aape bakhase kare deaa |

He Himself kills, and He Himself redeems; He Himself, in His Kindness, forgives us. He is infallible

ਆਪਿ ਅਭੁਲੁ ਨ ਭੁਲੈ ਕਬ ਹੀ ਸਭੁ ਸਚੁ ਤਪਾਵਸੁ ਸਚੁ ਥਿਆ ॥

aap abhul na bhulai kab hee sabh sach tapaavas sach thiaa |

- He never errs; the justice of the True Lord is totally True.

ਆਪੇ ਜਿਨਾ ਬੁਝਾਏ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਤਿਨ ਅੰਦਰਹੁ ਦੂਜਾ ਭਰਮੁ ਗਇਆ ॥੧੩॥

aape jinaa bujhaae guramukh tin andarahu doojaa bharam geaa |13|

Those whom the Lord Himself instructs as Gurmukh - duality and doubt depart from within them. ||13||
