Kali Ka Swami Lobhiya — Kabir
Meaning
The master of Kali is Lobhiya, who is sour in the brass pot. Like Harihai singing, he wanders in the kingdom-twice.
Explanation
Kabir uses vivid metaphors to critique the cyclical nature of worldly illusion. He states that the master of Kali (time) is actually a mundane, sour entity contained in a brass pot. This suggests that the grand dramas of life are governed by something petty and inherently bitter. The Shayar observes that humanity repeatedly wanders through these same cycles of suffering and attachment, much like a predictable, repetitive song.
