Kabiira, the Creator is awake, yet no one has awakened. For those whose lives are filled with poison, they become mere servants and slaves. This means that while God is always present and aware, people remain oblivious, and those who are consumed by worldly desires lose their freedom and become slaves.

Kabir offers a deep reflection, suggesting that while the Divine Creator is eternally awake, humanity remains largely in a state of spiritual slumber. The 'poison' metaphor beautifully describes the destructive nature of ego, attachment, and worldly illusion that pollute the soul. When our lives are saturated with this poison, we lose our freedom and become slaves to material desires and superficial duties. The Shayar urges us to awaken to the truth and realize our inherent connection to the Divine.
