Kabir says that devotion was not remembered in times of ease, but only recalled in times of sorrow. He questions who will listen to such a person's cry.

Kabir offers a piercing insight into human nature: we only remember the divine when life becomes difficult, neglecting devotion when we are comfortable. He highlights the deep irony that the cry of someone who only seeks refuge in times of sorrow will find no listener. This couplet is a gentle but firm reminder that genuine devotion must be consistent, regardless of whether we are experiencing ease or struggle.
