Aisi baani boliye, man ka aapa khoi. Apna tan seetal karai, auran kaun sukh hoi. Speak words that free the mind of pride. They cool one’s own body and give comfort to others.
The doha is by the poet-saint Kabir. It appears in “Sakhi,” the first chapter of Sparsh, the NCERT Hindi textbook for Class 10. A popular version ends auran ko sheetal kare, aapahu sheetal hoye: such words cool others, and they cool the speaker too.
