O Lord, it is the nature of the people of the world that everyone agrees on this: that every person has a God.
Mir Taqi Mir poses a profound question here: Where is the universal truth in the world, O Lord? The couplet suggests that while the world is full of people, no one truly shares a common understanding. Everyone lives by their own beliefs, their own 'God.' It's a poignant reflection on the fragmentation of human thought and the difficulty of finding a single, unifying moral compass in a diverse world.
