અંધાને અંધા કહે, કડવું લાગે વેણ; હળવે રહીને પૂછીએ, શાથી ખોયાં નેણ?

aṁdhānē aṁdhā kahē, kaḍavuṁ lāgē vēṇa; haḷavē rahīnē pūchīē, śāthī khōyāṁ nēṇa?

Literally: If you call a blind man blind, the words taste bitter; ask gently, why did you lose your eyes?
What it means: One should be tactful and polite when addressing someone's misfortune.
