ਏਕੁ ਗੁਸਾਈ ਅਲਹੁ ਮੇਰਾ ॥
ayk gusaa-ee alhu mayraa.
The One Lord, the Lord of the World, is my God Allah.
ਹਿੰਦੂ ਤੁਰਕ ਦੁਹਾਂ ਨੇਬੇਰਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
hindoo turak duhaaN naybayraa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
He administers justice to both Hindus and Muslims. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one Lord of the World is my Allah.
The same One is the fair judge of Hindus and Muslims alike.
The one Lord of the world belongs to everyone — no walls between people in the One.
The one Lord of the World, called Allah, is the same fair judge of Hindus and Muslims alike.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Ayk gusaa-ee alhu mayraa: Gusaa-ee, a Hindu word for the Lord of the World, and Allah, the Muslim word, name the same One. Hindoo turak duhaa naybayraa: the One settles the accounts of both, Hindu and Muslim (turak). Both names are honored equally.
