All types of people from all over the world, whether fragrant or base, live in your prostration (supplication); and all those who are crooked, slanted, or sharp in nature, have been made leaders (Imam) by you.
This profound couplet speaks to the universal magnetisim of divine love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that all the unconventional, the wild, and the ordinary people—the 'rinds' and 'awbash'—all find their solace and devotion in the act of prostration (Sujood). He asserts that from the most erratic and the most disciplined, everyone follows the guidance of the divine presence. It’s a beautiful testament to the unifying power of faith.
