One of two songs in Kangal-er Gaan by Kabir, the well-known fifteenth-century "weaver poet", whose works circulated widely and survive in often variant forms in later manuscripts. The poem selected here appears in the Sikh Adi Granth.The choukopata (square scroll) accompanying the poem was painted by Rupjan Chitrakar, Dukhushyam's grand-daughter and one of the artists from the youngest generation of scroll painters in Naya.
