Ram Niranjan Nyara Re, Anjan Sakal Pasara Re

Anjan Utapati, Omkar, Anjan Mange Sab Bistar

Anjan Brahma Shankar Indar, Anjan Gopi Sangi Govind Re

Anjan Vani, Anjan Ved, Anjan Kiya Na Na Bhed

Anjan Vidya Path Puran, Anjan Woh Kat Kat Hi Gyan Re

Anjan Paati Anjan Dev, Anjan Ki Kare Anjan Sev

Anjan Nache Anjan Gawe, Anjan Bhesh Anant Dikhawe Re

Anjan Kahan Kahan Lag Keta, Dan Puni Tap Tirath Jeta

Kahe Kabir Koi Birla Jage, Anjan Chaadhi Anant Hi Dage Re

[tattvumasi]

The translation of the poem given below is from Vinay Dharwadker's book - Kabir The Weaver's Songs. In this poem when Kabir says everything is tainted, soiled and polluted, including all gods -

[tattvumasi]

Govind (Krishna), Brahma, Shankar and Indra as well as Vedas (knowledge) and the syllable OM (the cosmic background sound), what he means is that all these are part of the creation (of the uncreated One), these are forms (of the One without form), they are all in and of Maya (Ram – the Unmanifest One's creative energy that gives rise to Time, Space and all forms of physical energies). Hence, they are all polluted and have certain

[tattvumasi]

qualities (as they are in and of this creation/Maya). To realise the Truth one’s self must go beyond all these to witness and be as one’s Self as it really is - one’s own Self that is the only truth, without any qualities (good or bad), formless, uncreated and undestroyed, the source of all there is, was and ever will be, creator of time, space and all energy, the only witness (of this entire dram of this Universe), the experience of everything as well as everything that is experienced.

[tattvumasi]

The leaf in the oblation is rank, the god in his shrine is unclean: infection serves the infected. Impurity dances, impurity sings: Pollution displays an infinite number of guises. The how and what, the when and where of contamination: It vanquishes charity, goodness, austerity, devotion. Kabir says, only one in a million awakens to this: but when he does, he gives up what's tainted and joins the incorruptible.

[tattvumasi]

Ram, the Flawless One is different: the chaos scattered all around is tainted. Creation's contaminated, the syllable OM is sullied: impurity has created this unholy spread. Brahma, Shankara, Indra are smirched: Goving with his gopis is soiled. Speech and sound are foul, the Vedas are stained: impurity has perpetrated so many form. Learning, reading, recitation, the ancient books are all corrupt: knowledge, cheapened, mouthed for free, is dirty
