As you sow, so shall you reap. Though you may speak sweetly, you are in possession of a powerful trident.

Kabir, through this Shayar, delivers a profound lesson on the law of karma. The initial lines establish that our actions dictate our outcomes—what we sow, we shall reap. The second line is a powerful warning: you may appear gentle and sweet, like a flower of speech, but the trident suggests that deep down, you possess immense, perhaps latent, power. It is a call for radical self-awareness.
