Poem. The Value of Words (M. Oliullah Nizami)

The Value of Words _— M. Oliullah Nizami_ Many people give their word, but don’t keep it. And if you talk too much, your words lose their value. Speaking words is easy, keeping them is a heavy burden. If you don’t keep the word you gave, your value in society goes down. Many words, many times, bring conflict. Arguing over words— society calls it bad. With words we laugh, with words we cry, with words hearts break. With one word someone becomes close, with one word they drift away. If you can speak well, even a courtroom feels good. But if you lose in logic, your face turns black. So speak carefully, with thought, and uphold the dignity of your word. With sweet words you can win people’s respect. Let words be true, let words be sweet, let life be in your words. The one who upholds the value of words earns greater honor. Words are not just sounds— words are a person’s identity. The one who understands the value of words is the one who finds success.
