Themes

Humanity and Equality: Nazrul celebrates human dignity above all divisions. He believes every person, regardless of caste, creed, or religion, is equal. Humanity itself is the greatest faith, and love for mankind is the truest worship.

Religious Hypocrisy: The poem exposes false religious leaders who ignore the poor and hungry. They close temples and mosques to real human suffering. Nazrul condemns such hypocrisy and declares that God cannot live behind locked doors.

Divinity in Man: Nazrul teaches that God lives in every human heart. A poor, rejected person may carry divine greatness within him. Serving mankind is serving God. This belief forms the spiritual essence of the poem.
