By one's words, the thief's plan is revealed, but from inner actions, many truths emerge.

Kabir Shayar suggests that while words might reveal a thief's immediate scheme, they are not the ultimate truth. The deeper insight here is that no one can truly hide their nature from their own actions. Kabir emphasizes that a person's true character is reflected by their deeds (karni), because mere words cannot mask the reality of the heart. This couplet beautifully captures the difference between outward appearance and inner truth.
