Create another <ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto"> for the navbar items you want on the right. ml-auto will pull your navbar-nav to the right where mr-auto will pull it to the left.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css"/>
  <style>
    /* Stackoverflow preview fix, please ignore */
    .navbar-nav {
      flex-direction: row;
    }
    
    .nav-link {
      padding-right: .5rem !important;
      padding-left: .5rem !important;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-primary rounded">
  <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
  <ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
    <li class="nav-item active">
      <a class="nav-link">Left Link 1</a>
    </li>
    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link">Left Link 2</a>
    </li>
  </ul>
  <ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link">Right Link 1</a>
    </li>
    <li class="navbar-item">
      <a class="nav-link">Right Link 2</a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</nav>
</body>

This is great. I'd like to know where to find references to all these css classes? `mr-auto` and `ml-auto`? — Shivam Pokhriyal, Aug 01 '20 at 05:48
@ShivamPokhriyal: Those are bootstrap classes. Look in the Bootstrap documentation. — Darryn Frost, Apr 13 '22 at 19:55
