ਜੀਅ ਜੰਤ ਕਉ ਰਿਜਕੁ ਸੰਬਾਹੇ ॥
jee-a jant ka-o rijak sambaahay.
He gives nourishment to all beings and creatures.
ਕਰਣ ਕਾਰਣ ਸਮਰਥ ਆਪਾਹੇ ॥
karan kaaran samrath aapaahay.
He Himself is the all-powerful Creator, the Cause of causes.
ਖਿਨ ਮਹਿ ਥਾਪਿ ਉਥਾਪਨਹਾਰਾ ਸੋਈ ਤੇਰਾ ਸਹਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੨॥
khin meh thaap uthaapanhaaraa so-ee tayraa sahaa-ee hay. ||2||
In an instant, He establishes and disestablishes; He is your help and support. ||2||

That maker of all things can shape a whole world in a moment — and that very One is your help and support.
The One who feeds every creature is the same One backing you up.
rijak sambaahay — the One provides nourishment to all beings. karan kaaran is the cause of all causes. khin meh thaap uthaap — in an instant the One sets up and takes down. Immense power and intimate provision are named together: sahaaee, your help.
