Saloks #55, 56 and 57 of Salok Mehalla 9:

ਸੰਗ ਸਖਾ ਸਭਿ ਤਜਿ ਗਏ ਕੋਊ ਨ ਨਿਬਹਿਓ ਸਾਥਿ ॥
sang sakhaa sabh taj ge-e ko-oo na nib-hio saath |
My associates and companions have all deserted me; no one remains with me.

ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਇਹ ਬਿਪਤਿ ਮੈ ਟੇਕ ਏਕ ਰਘੁਨਾਥ ॥੫੫॥
kahu naanak eh bipat mai ttek ek raghunaath |55|
Says Nanak, in this tragedy, Vaheguru alone is my support.

ਨਾਮੁ ਰਹਿਓ ਸਾਧੂ ਰਹਿਓ ਰਹਿਓ ਗੁਰੁ ਗੋਬਿੰਦੁ ॥
naam rehio saadhoo rehio rehio gur gobind |
Naam remains, the hold saints remain, the Guru and Vaheguru (God) remain.

ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਇਹ ਜਗਤ ਮੈ ਕਿਨ ਜਪਿਓ ਗੁਰ ਮੰਤੁ ॥੫੬॥
kahu naanak eh jagat mai kin japio gur mant |56|
Says Nanak, rare are those who change the Guru's Mantra in this world.

ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਉਰ ਮੈ ਗਹਿਓ ਜਾ ਕੈ ਸਮ ਨਹੀ ਕੋਇ ॥
raam naam ur mai gehio jaa kai sam nehee koe |
I have enshrined Vaheguru's Name within my heart; there is nothing equal to it.

ਜਿਹ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਸੰਕਟ ਮਿਟੈ ਦਰਸੁ ਤੁਹਾਰੋ ਹੋਇ ॥੫੭॥੧॥
jih simrat sankatt mittai daras tuhaaro hoe |57|1|
Meditating in remembrance on it, my troubles are taken away; I have received Your blessed vision.

Salok Mehalla 9 is a collection of stanzas written by Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji (Ninth Sikh Guru) and is well known to be hard hitting, a wake up call and sheds some reality on life. Many Gursikhs (Sikhs of the Guru) recite this Bani (prayer) as part of their Nitnem (Daily Sikh Prayers).
