Kabir - A Beggar Poem by Michael Maxwell Steer

Kabir - A Beggar



A beggar came down my lane,
I didn't see him pass.
But if he comes again,
what shall I ask?

Despised as he is by all,
to me he gives without cease:
when he's near, I'm aware of a call
that brings peace.


Original poem by the 15thC mystical poet Kabir (Bk3.89) , translated by Rabindranath Tagore and Kshiti Mohan Sen (#84) . Versed by MMS 6/1/11
