जौ पै करता बरन बिचारै

Source (Verse 182)

जौ पै करता बरन बिचारै ।। तौं जनतैं तीनि डांड़ि किन सारे । ॥ टेक ॥

जे तूं बाभन बभनीं जाया । तौ आंन बाट होइ काहे न आया ॥१॥ जे तूं तुरुक तुरुकिनीं जाया । तौ भीतरि खतनां क्यूं न कराया ॥२॥ कहै कबीर मद्धिम नहिं कोई । सो मद्धिम जा मुखि रांम न होई ॥३॥

Translation (Source)

Were the Creator Concerned about caste, We’d arrive in the world With a caste mark on the forehead.

If you say you’re a Brahmin Born of a mother who’s a Brahmin, Was there a special canal Through which you were born?

And if you say you’re a Turk And your mother’s a Turk, Why weren’t you circumcised Before birth?

Nobody’s lower-caste; The lower castes are everywhere. They’re the ones Who don’t have Rama on their lips, Kabir says.
