Oh saint, wake up and chant the name. These three are asleep—the ignorant, the wealthy, and the serpent.

Kabir delivers a powerful wake-up call, urging the saintly person to chant the divine name because three types of people remain asleep. The 'sleep' here is not merely physical slumber; it represents spiritual complacency, which the Shayar critiques sharply. These three groups—the ignorant, the materialistic, and the venomous—symbolize the deep slumber of humanity, where the remembrance of the divine is lost.
