O Lord, reveal the inner secret, for the people who judge only by outward appearances have begun to torment me greatly.

This couplet captures the poignant friction between inner spiritual truth and superficial judgment. The poet feels exhausted by dogmatists and ritualists who judge a person's faith merely by outward appearances and social displays of piety. In his helplessness, he pleads with the Divine to reveal the hidden essence of the heart, so that the world can finally see that true devotion is lived within, not merely performed without.
