One Hundred Poems by Kabir (Perfect Library)

One Hundred Poems by Kabir gathers a powerful selection of verses from Kabir (15th century)—the Indian mystic whose poetry cuts through ritual and dogma to point straight toward inner truth. In these short, urgent poems, Kabir speaks of the formless Divine, the hunger of the soul, the need for a true guide, and the illusion of outward religiosity—always with startling simplicity and force.

This English collection is best known in the classic 1915 translation by Rabindranath Tagore, prepared with the assistance of Evelyn Underhill—a landmark edition that helped introduce Kabir’s voice to a wide Western readership.

A timeless book of spiritual poetry—direct, uncompromising, and deeply human—ideal for readers of mystical literature, devotional verse, and Indian philosophical tradition.
