Songs of Kabir is a 1915 book consisting of 100 poems of Kabir, the
15th-century Indian poet and mystic, translated from Hindi to English by
Rabindranath Tagore. In this book Kabir has combined the philosophies of
Sufism and Hinduism. Expressed in imagery drawn from common life and the
universal experience, Kabir's poems possess an appealing simplicity.
This collection reflects nearly every aspect of the mystic's thought and
emotions: ecstasy and despair, tranquil beatitude and fervid
illumination, and moments of intimate love.
