Kabir Das Poems – Santan jat na pucho nirguniyan – English

Here is the English transalation of Kabir Das poem Santan jat na pucho nirguniyan.

It is needless to ask of a saint the caste to which he belongs;

For the priest, the warrior. the tradesman, and all the

thirty-six castes, alike are seeking for God.

It is but folly to ask what the caste of a saint may be;

The barber has sought God, the washerwoman, and the carpenter—

Even Raidas was a seeker after God.

The Rishi Swapacha was a tanner by caste.

Hindus and Moslems alike have achieved that End, where remains no

mark of distinction.
