ਦੁਤੀਆ ਮਉਲੇ ਚਾਰਿ ਬੇਦ ॥
dutee-aa ma-ulay chaar bayd.
The four Vedas blossom forth in duality.
ਸਿੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਮਉਲੀ ਸਿਉ ਕਤੇਬ ॥੨॥
simrit ma-ulee si-o katayb. ||2||
The Simritees blossom forth, along with the Koran and the Bible. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The four Vedas, the old Hindu holy books, blossom in the world of "this and that."
The Simritees blossom, and so do the Koran and the Bible.
The songs of every faith are flowers on one shared tree.
Every people's holy books bloom from one spring.
Dutee-aa ma-ulay chaar bayd: the four Vedas blossom, in the world of two, of this and that. Simrit ma-ulee si-o katayb: the Simritees blossom along with the katayb, the Koran and the Bible. Hindu, Muslim and Christian scripture stand side by side here, pointing to one source beneath every tradition's holy book.
