Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You Yourself are the Maker; by Your doing, everything comes to be.
Without You, there is no other at all.
You watch over all You have made, and understand it. Says servant Nanak: the One is revealed to the soul turned toward the Guru.
The shabad closes on total divine agency and tender oversight: "You watch over the creation, and understand it." The One is not a maker who walked away but a presence that watches and understands what it made — knowing each creature from the inside (cf. Shabad 32, the One who cherishes all). And it is revealed to the Gurmukh — seen, not merely believed.
How might it feel to know you are watched over by something that truly understands you?
