Kabir’s dohas as one-liners

Lekhni | Culture & Society, Poetry

Sayesha reinterprets the poet Kabir’s dohas, or rather condenses his dohas into snappy one-liners. For all you fans of Kabir, and all those who have never had a chance to read Kabir, this is a must read.

Keson kahan bigadia, je mooned sau baar
