If Mind Murky Remains
What use cleaning up a skunk
If your mind murky remains,
A fish forever is dunk
In water, her stink still retains.

Kabeer was a medieval saint poet. One of his quatrains is taken here for translation (transliteration as under):
nahaye dhoye kya bhaya, jo mana maila na jaye,
mina sada jalamen rahe, dhoye basa na jaye.
