manda naiyo bolna bureya nhi bolna
manda naiyo bolna bureya nhi bolna
kar leni man di bureya nhi bolna
jura kaval dolna buriya kanj bolna

uche uche tibe sadu jamda
uche uche tibe sadu jamda
sankhe di tunk suno da sadu
manda kanj bolna bureya kanj bolna

naya banduku munde par rakhda
naya banduku munde par rakhda
bahar leoni titare di juri
manda nhi bolna burya nhi bolna
kar leni man di bureya nhi bolna
jura kaval dolna buriya kanj bolna
manda kanj bolna bureya kanj bolna

Speak no ill, utter no unkindness,
Speak no ill, utter no unkindness.
Find joy within, the heart's own ease, it sings,
Why then falter, speak ill, or falter?

On high peaks, the sage is born,
On high peaks, the sage is born.
Listen, he whispers, that sage so true,
Why then speak ill, or speak unkindness?

Keep the oars away from the face of the storm,
Keep the oars away from the face of the storm.
He says, take no more than a simple pair,
Speak no ill, utter no unkindness,
Find joy within, the heart's own ease, it sings,
Why then falter, speak ill, or falter?
Why then speak ill, or speak unkindness?
