Rahim ke Dohe Doha 39 meaning
rahiman jihva bavaree, kahi gai sarag patal
apu to kahi bheetar rahee, jootee khat kapal
रहिमन जिह्वा बावरी, कहि गइ सरग पताल।
आपु तो कहि भीतर रही, जूती खात कपाल॥
Rahim says: the tongue is reckless; it blurts out anything, from heaven to hell. Then it slips back inside the mouth, and it's the head that gets beaten.
What it means
Careless words cost you, not your tongue. One thoughtless comment can bring years of trouble and embarrassment. Pause for a breath before you speak, especially when you're angry, excited or trying to impress.How it helps in real life
- At work: Two drinks in at the office party, you're about to crack a joke about your boss. Take a sip of water and change the topic.
- With friends: A friend shared a secret about her marriage. When the group starts gossiping, don't let it slip, not even as a hint.
हिंदी में अर्थ
रहीम कहते हैं कि जीभ पागल है, स्वर्ग-पाताल की उल्टी-सीधी बातें कह देती है। खुद तो कहकर अंदर छिप जाती है और जूते सिर को खाने पड़ते हैं।
बिना सोचे बोले शब्दों की कीमत पूरे इंसान को चुकानी पड़ती है। गुस्से या जोश में बोलने से पहले एक पल रुकें।
Spoken by Rahim.
