The Crane and the Crow
Kabir
मन मैला तन ऊजरा, बगुला कपटी अंग ।
तासों तो कौवा भला, तन मन एकहि रंग ॥
Meaning · English
A clean body and a dirty mind: the crane is a cheat. Better the crow, whose body and mind are one colour.
अर्थ · हिन्दी
तन उजला और मन मैला हो तो बगुला कपटी है। उससे तो कौआ अच्छा, जिसका तन और मन एक रंग है।
