मैं रोऊँ जब जगत को , मोको रोवे न होय। मोको रोबे सोचना , जो शब्द बोय की होय॥
— Kabir
Meaning

When I weep for the world, may the world not weep for me. May the words that speak of my sorrow not be uttered.

Explanation

This couplet is a profound plea for emotional detachment. Kabir suggests that his deep empathy for the world's suffering should not become a source of pain or pity for himself. He seeks a spiritual state where his sorrow remains unspoken, preventing external judgment. The Shayar beautifully articulates the desire for inner peace that is completely independent of the world's reaction.
