प्रेम प्याला जो पिये , शीश दक्षिणा देय। लोभी शीश न दे सके , नाम प्रेम का लेय॥ 65॥
Kabir
Meaning

He who drinks the cup of love gives his head as an offering. The greedy person cannot give their head, even if they take the name of love.

Explanation

Kabir beautifully explains that genuine love is not a casual experience; it requires a complete offering, symbolized by giving one's head. This powerful metaphor signifies the ultimate surrender of the ego and self. The Shayar suggests that while the greedy person might use the language of love, their attachment and self-interest prevent them from making the necessary sacrifice. True love, therefore, demands a transformative, all-consuming devotion.
