I think the chief of police is asking Kabir how he "patrols the city" with his teachings. Particularly in a city/world filled with such backwards concepts. Or it is a question as to how Kabir keeps his beliefs in such a hopeless world.

How Kabir keeps his beliefs and teaches them where people are so weak-minded, perhaps too weak-minded to grasp the knowledge he is trying to deliver.

Awesome message behind your words. In the abandoned room, not even the morning sun, peeks through the window.

I perceive a hidden message, this world is a metaphor for a time when the weak and ridiculous rule the strong and bloated.

The name Kabir comes from Arabic al-Kabīr which means 'The Great' - the 37th name of God in Islam.. This poem is bit philosophical and bit thought-provoking poem. A great Figure in Indian Culture. Enjoyed reading. Congratulations as The Classic Poem Of The Day
