ਮਧੁਰ ਬਚਨ ਸਮਸਰਿ ਨ ਪੁਜਸ ਮਧ ਕਰਕ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਰਿ ਬਿਖ ਨ ਬਿਖਮ ਹੈ ।
madhur bachan samasar na pujas madh karak sabad sar bikh na bikham hai |Sweetness of honey cannot match the sweetness of sweetly spoken words. No poison is as discomforting as bitter words.
ਮਧੁਰ ਬਚਨ ਸੀਤਲਤਾ ਮਿਸਟਾਨ ਪਾਨ ਕਰਕ ਸਬਦ ਸਤਪਤ ਕਟੁ ਕਮ ਹੈ ।
madhur bachan seetalataa misattaan paan karak sabad satapat katt kam hai |Sweet words cools the mind as cold drinks cool the body and provide comfort (during summer), but highly bitter thing is nothing compared to very sharp and harsh words.
ਮਧੁਰ ਬਚਨ ਕੈ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਿ ਅਉ ਸੰਤੋਖ ਸਾਂਤਿ ਕਰਕ ਸਬਦ ਅਸੰਤੋਖ ਦੋਖ ਸ੍ਰਮ ਹੈ ।
madhur bachan kai tripat aau santokh saant karak sabad asantokh dokh sram hai |Sweet words render one with peace, satiation and contentment whereas harsh words create restlessness, vice and fatigue.
ਮਧੁਰ ਬਚਨ ਲਗਿ ਅਗਮ ਸੁਗਮ ਹੋਇ ਕਰਕ ਸਬਦ ਲਗਿ ਸੁਗਮ ਅਗਮ ਹੈ ।੨੫੬।
madhur bachan lag agam sugam hoe karak sabad lag sugam agam hai |256|Sweet words make a difficult task easy to perform whereas harsh and bitter words make an easy task difficult to accomplish. (256)
