Verified · BaniDBਚਿੰਤਾ ਤਾ ਕੀ ਕੀਜੀਐ ਜੋ ਅਨਹੋਨੀ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਇਹੁ ਮਾਰਗੁ ਸੰਸਾਰ ਕੋ ਨਾਨਕ ਥਿਰੁ ਨਹੀ ਕੋਇ ॥੫੧॥
Chintaa taa kee keejeeai jo anahonee hoe. Ihu maarag sansaar ko naanak thir nahee koe.
Meaning
Worry only about what is not meant to happen. This is the way of the world, says Nanak — nothing here is permanent.
ਚਿੰਤਾ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਕਰੋ ਜੋ ਹੋਣਾ ਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ। ਨਾਨਕ ਆਖਦੇ ਹਨ, ਇਹੀ ਜਗਤ ਦੀ ਰੀਤ ਹੈ — ਇੱਥੇ ਕੁਝ ਵੀ ਸਦੀਵੀ ਨਹੀਂ।
