Aise Bani Boliye

We learnt this by-heart, thanks to Saukar Sir at school:
ऐसी बानी बोलिए, मन का आपा खोये ।
औरन को सीतल करे, आपहू सीतल होए ॥

(Aise Bani Boliye, Mun Ka Aapa Khoye
Auran ko Seetal kare, Aaphu Seetal hoye! )

A quick translation for my non-Hindi speaking friends:
Speak such words, which trancends ego,
Giving the listener peace, and which give peace to oneself!
