Poem Title: The Untouched Flame
They whispered behind corners,
They schemed in the dark,
Trying to dim
An eternal spark.
They said
He was a weaver of rebellion, not wisdom.
They said
He mocked the gods, desecrated tradition.
They painted his truth as poison,
Called his love a threat,
Twisted his verses
With ink still wet.
They branded him liar,
A rogue with no root,
Because his truth
Made their silence mute.
They said he hated temples,
They said he spat on prayer,
But never asked why
He saw God everywhere.
He didnβt break the sacred he broke the shell,
Of blind ritual, of priestly spell.
They couldnβt bind him with names or caste,
So they slung their mud, but it didnβt last.
Because his flame was not of wax or wick,
Not swayed by hate or any trick.
It burned from love, from inner sight,
And lies canβt smother such fearless light.
You spoke his name to bring him low,
But see how high that name will go.
Through streets, through songs, across all time,
His truth outlives your every crime.
You said he was nothing.
Yet here we sing.
Kabir, the name
That outshines kings.
Kabir... Kabir... untouched flame...
Kabir kranti ekta sangathan
