ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
Ik▫oaʼnkār saṯgur parsāḏ.

Invoking the One all-pervasive Creator who may be known by the true guru’s grace

Note: This Shabad describes how people can live in peace. It uses real-life examples as metaphors to convey the spiritual message.

ਪੰਚ ਮਨਾਏ ਪੰਚ ਰੁਸਾਏ ॥ਪੰਚ ਵਸਾਏ ਪੰਚ ਗਵਾਏ ॥੧॥
Pancẖ manā▫e pancẖ rusā▫e. Pancẖ vasā▫e pancẖ gavā▫e. ||1||

One should (manaaey) persuade (panch) the five action organs – hand, feet, tongue/speech, anus and genital to conform to ethics. And (rusaaey = annoy) restrain the five sensory organs – eyes, ears, nose/smell, tongue/taste and skin from falling prey to temptations.

One should (vasaaey = caused to abide) keep in mind (panch) the five – virtues of (sat) sharing, (santokh) contentment, (daiaa) compassion (dharam) dutifulness and (sach) truthfulness; and (gavaaey = lose) dispel (panch) the five – vices of lust, anger, greed, attachment to the world-play and vanity. 1.

ਇਨ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਬਿਧਿ ਨਗਰੁ ਵੁਠਾ ਮੇਰੇ ਭਾਈ ॥ਦੁਰਤੁ ਗਇਆ ਗੁਰਿ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Inĥ biḏẖ nagar vuṯẖā mere bẖā▫ī. Ḏuraṯ ga▫i▫ā gur gi▫ān ḏariṛā▫ī. ||1|| rahā▫o.

(Inh bidh-i) this way (nagar = town) the body and mind (vuttha = habitat) become at peace, (merey) my (bhaaee) brethren.

When (gur-i) the guru (giaan-u drirraaee) makes spiritual knowledge firmly imbedded in the mind, then (durat-u) transgressions (gaiaa = go) are no longer committed.1.
(Rahaau) dwell on this and contemplate.

Note: The next two verses use the metaphor of the fence round a crop for protecting the mind from evil.

ਸਾਚ ਧਰਮ ਕੀ ਕਰਿ ਦੀਨੀ ਵਾਰਿ ॥ਫਰਹੇ ਮੁਹਕਮ ਗੁਰ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਬੀਚਾਰਿ ॥੨॥
Sācẖḏẖaram kī kar ḏīnī vār. Farhe muhkam gur gi▫ān bīcẖār. ||2||

The guru has (kar-i deeni) made (saach) truthfulness and (dharam) dutifulness as (vaar-i) the fence.
And in place of (muhkam) the strong (pharhey) wooden planks, the fence is made of (beechaar-i) reflection on (gur giaan-u) the guru-given knowledge – to keep vices at bay. 2.

ਨਾਮੁ ਖੇਤੀ ਬੀਜਹੁ ਭਾਈ ਮੀਤ ॥ਸਉਦਾ ਕਰਹੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਹੁ ਨੀਤ ॥੩॥
Nām kẖeṯī bījahu bẖā▫ī mīṯ. Sa▫uḏā karahu gur sevhu nīṯ. ||3||

As taught by the guru, in (kheyti) the agricultural field, (beejah-u) sow the seed of (naam-u) Divine virtues and commands i.e. use them as the guide for life.
(Sauda karah-u = make deals) conduct yourself (neet) ever (gur-u seyvh-u = serve the guru) by following the guru’s teachings. 3.

ਸਾਂਤਿ ਸਹਜ ਸੁਖ ਕੇ ਸਭਿ ਹਾਟ ॥ਸਾਹ ਵਾਪਾਰੀ ਏਕੈ ਥਾਟ ॥੪॥
Sāʼnṯ sahj sukẖ ke sabẖ hāt. Sāh vāpārī ekai thāt. ||4||

In the business of life, let (sabh-i haatt) all the shops (key = of) deal in, i.e. all body organs remain in, (saant-i) peace and (sahj sukh) steady/continuous happiness.
Once this is done then (vaapaari = merchant) the salespersons and (saah) the master are at (eykai) one (thaatt) place i.e. one thinks and acts as the guru acts and teaches. 4.

Note: I some systems of governance like that of the past Muslim rulers in India, non-Muslims had to pay a tax call Jazia. In the verse below this is used as a metaphor for the messengers of death, punishing the wrong-doers.

ਜੇਜੀਆ ਡੰਨੁ ਕੋ ਲਏ ਨ ਜਗਾਤਿ ॥ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਦੀਨੀ ਧੁਰ ਕੀ ਛਾਪ ॥੫॥
Jejī▫ā dann ko la▫e na jagāṯ. Saṯgur kar ḏīnī ḏẖur kī cẖẖāp. ||5||

(Ko na) no one (laey) collects (jeyjeeaa) tax based on discrimination, (da’nn-u) fine or (jagaat-i) entry tax i.e. all these taxes are exempted.
When through his teachings, (satigur-i) the true guru (kar-i deeni) affixes (chhaap-i) the stamp of (dhur = above) Divine virtues, i.e. those who live by Divine virtues imparted by the guru are honourable admitted to Divine abode. 5.

ਵਖਰੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਲਦਿ ਖੇਪ ਚਲਾਵਹੁ ॥ਲੈ ਲਾਹਾ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਘਰਿ ਆਵਹੁ ॥੬॥
vakẖar nām laḏ kẖep cẖalāvahu. Lai lāhā gurmukẖ gẖar āvhu. ||6||

Human birth is an opportunity to obey, and unite with, the Creator. O human being, (lad-i) load (vakhar) the merchandise of imbibed (naam-u) Divine virtues and commands and (chalaavh-u) move (kheyp = goods) Naam, i.e. take with you to God.

(Gurmukh-i) follow the teachings of the guru and (lai laaha = take profit) make use of human birth to obey Naam and (aavh-u) come (ghar-i) home – this is how the soul is united with the Creator. 6.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸਾਹੁ ਸਿਖ ਵਣਜਾਰੇ ॥ਪੂੰਜੀ ਨਾਮੁ ਲੇਖਾ ਸਾਚੁ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥੭॥
Saṯgur sāhu sikẖ vaṇjāre. Pūnjī nām lekẖā sācẖ samĥāre. ||7||

In the business of life, (satigur-u) the true guru (saah-u) is the Master of virtues and (sikh) the Sikhs (vanjaarey = salesmen) are to conduct themselves by the virtues taught.
(Naam-u) Divine virtues are (poonji) the capital and (samhaarey) remembrance of (saach-u) the Eternal is (leykha) keeping the account – how the virtues are used. 7.

ਸੋ ਵਸੈ ਇਤੁ ਘਰਿ ਜਿਸੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਸੇਵ ॥ਅਬਿਚਲ ਨਗਰੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਦੇਵ ॥੮॥੧॥
So vasai iṯ gẖar jis gur pūrā sev. Abicẖal nagrī Nānak ḏev. ||8||1||

(Jis-u) one who (sevy = serves) follows the teachings of (poora) the perfect guru, (so) that person (vasai) lives (it-u ghar-i) in this house, i.e. achieves a stable state.

One’s being then becomes like (abichal) the unshakable (nagri = town) abode of (devy) the Almighty, i.e. God is discovered within, says Nanak the fifth. 8. 1. ===

(Jetey = as many) all (rang) pleasures (maaia) the world-play, (binas jaah-i) perish (khin maah-i) in a moment – they are short-lived and one keeps chasing them.
On the other hand O Almighty, (bhagat) the devotees (ratey = dyed) imbued (siau) with your (naam) virtues (bhunchah) experience (sukh-u) bliss (sabh tthaaey = all places) everywhere, all the time. 3.
