कली खोटा जग आंधरा , शब्द न माने कोय। चाहे कहँ सत आइना , जो जग बैरी होय॥ 55॥
— Kabir
Meaning
The speaker says that the world is a false and dark realm, where no one accepts words. He questions where he should speak the truth if the world itself is his enemy.
Explanation
Kabir’s Shayar beautifully captures the deep sense of disillusionment with the human world and the difficulty of upholding truth. He describes the world as a dark, deceitful realm where sincerity is often ignored. The central emotion is the frustration of knowing the truth but having no audience, questioning where one can reveal the mirror of truth when the world itself is hostile. This couplet urges the seeker to find truth within oneself rather than relying on external validation.
