Parakh Ka Ang, Speech no. 392-393

Garib, Qaaji gaye quraan le, dhar larke ka naam |
akshar akshar mein furya, dhanya Kabir balijaanv ||392||
Garib, sakal Quraan Kabir hain, haraf likhe jo lekh |
Kaashi ke Qaaji kahaen, gaee deen kee tek ||393||

Meaning: - Neeru (Noor Ali) and Neema were earlier Hindu Brahmins. Because of this, out of greed, Brahmins came to name the boy. At the same time Muslim Qajis also came with their book Quran Sharif to name the boy. At that time, Delhi was ruled by Mughal emperors who ruled the whole of India. Due to which, the Hindu community felt suppressed by the Muslims. The Qajis said, “We will name the boy according to the Muslim ritual because they have become Muslims now.” Saying this, the chief of the Qajis opened the Quran Sharif book from somewhere. The first name in the first line on that page was "Kabiran". The Qajis thought that the name "Kabir" means ‘great’. It would not be appropriate to name a child of this lower caste (weaver i.e., Dhanak) as Kabir. It should be the name of the children of the elite. God guised in the form of an infant knew the fault of the mind of the Qajis. The Qajis again opened the Holy Quran for the purpose of naming the child. Only word Kabir-Kabir-Kabir was written on both the pages and there was no other word. The Qajis again opened the Quran Sharif, on those pages also the word Kabir-Kabir-Kabir was written. When the Qajis inspected the entire Quran, all the words in the Quran Sharif brought by them became Kabir-Kabir-Kabir-Kabir. The Qajis said, “This child has cast a spell and changed our Quran Sharif.” God Kabir in the form of an infant said, “O Qajis of Kashi! I am Kabir Allah, that is, Allahu Akbar. Keep my name "Kabir".” The Qajis threw the Quran they had brought with them and went away. They said that some evil spirit speaks through this child.
