1429 : 1
I had looked upon the world as my own, but no one belongs to anyone else.
1429 : 2
O Nanak, only devotional worship of the Lord is permanent; enshrine this in your mind. ||48||
1429 : 3
The world and its affairs are totally false; know this well, my friend.
1429 : 4
Says Nanak, it is like a wall of sand; it shall not endure. ||49||
1429 : 5
Raam Chand passed away, as did Raawan, even though he had lots of relatives.
1429 : 6
Says Nanak, nothing lasts forever; the world is like a dream. ||50||
1429 : 7
People become anxious, when something unexpected happens.
1429 : 8
This is the way of the world, O Nanak; nothing is stable or permanent. ||51||
1429 : 9
Whatever has been created shall be destroyed; everyone shall perish, today or tomorrow.
1429 : 10
O Nanak, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and give up all other entanglements. ||52||
1429 : 11
DOHRAA:
1429 : 12
My strength is exhausted, and I am in bondage; I cannot do anything at all.
1429 : 13
Says Nanak, now, the Lord is my Support; He will help me, as He did the elephant. ||53||
1429 : 14
My strength has been restored, and my bonds have been broken; now, I can do everything.
1429 : 15
Nanak: everything is in Your hands, Lord; You are my Helper and Support. ||54||
1429 : 16
My associates and companions have all deserted me; no one remains with me.
1429 : 17
Says Nanak, in this tragedy, the Lord alone is my Support. ||55||
1429 : 18
The Naam remains; the Holy Saints remain; the Guru, the Lord of the Universe, remains.
1429 : 19
Says Nanak, how rare are those who chant the Guru's Mantra in this world. ||56||

Upon this Plate, three things have been placed: Truth, Contentment and Contemplation.

The Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam, the Name of our Lord and Master, has been placed upon it as well; it is the Support of all.
1429 : 25
One who eats it and enjoys it shall be saved.
1429 : 26
This thing can never be forsaken; keep this always and forever in your mind.
1429 : 27
The dark world-ocean is crossed over, by grasping the Feet of the Lord; O Nanak, it is all the extension of God. ||1||

Shalok, Fifth Mehl:
1429 : 29
I have not appreciated what You have done for me, Lord; only You can make me worthy.
1429 : 30
I am unworthy - I have no worth or virtues at all. You have taken pity on me.
1429 : 31
You took pity on me, and blessed me with Your Mercy, and I have met the True Guru, my Friend.
1429 : 32
O Nanak, if I am blessed with the Naam, I live, and my body and mind blossom forth. ||1||
