How Do You Poem by Kabir was a 15th-century Indian mystic poet, and his poems have been translated into various languages, including English. Here’s an English translation of one of Kabir’s poems:
How Do You Poem by Kabir
How do you,
Asks the chief of police,
Patrol a city
Where the butcher shops
Are guarded by vultures;
Where bulls get pregnant,
Cows are barren,
And calves give milk
Three times a day;
Where mice are boatmen
And tomcats the boats
They row;
Where frogs keep snakes
As watchdogs,
And jackals
Go after lions?
Does anyone know
What I’m talking about?
Says Kabir.
