The verse and its meaning · Suvichar · Suvichar — Rahim, Tulsi and the Saint Poets
The Mad Tongue
Rahim
रहिमन जिह्वा बावरी, कहि गइ सरग पताल।
आपु तो कहि भीतर रही, जूती खात कपाल
Meaning · English
The tongue is mad. It says whatever it likes, from heaven to hell, then goes back inside, and the head takes the shoe-beating.
अर्थ · हिन्दी
जीभ पगली है। स्वर्ग-पाताल जो मन में आए कह देती है और खुद भीतर छिप जाती है, जूते सिर को खाने पड़ते हैं।
