Publisher Description:
"Songs of Kab r" is a 1915 book written by the fifteenth-century Indian poet and mystic, Kab r. It comprises one hundred of his beautiful poems, which have been translated into English by Rabindranath Tagore. In this book Kab r infuses the philosophies of Hinduism and Sufism into beautiful, masterfully-composed verse - that is highly recommended for all lovers of poetry. Kab r (1440 - 1518) was an Indian poet and saint, who significantly influenced the Bhakti Movement through his writings. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author."
