Madhur vachan hai aushadhi - Sant Kabir Das Poetry

Madhur vachan hai aushadhi, kutil vachan hai tir

Sravan dwar hai sanchre, sale sakal sarir

मधुर वचन है औषधि, कुटिल वचन है तीर |

श्रवन द्वार है संचरे, साले सकल सरीर ||

Sweet words are like medicine, harsh words are like arrows

Which enter through the doors of the ears, give distress to the whole body
