Nirgun
songs are deeply influenced by Kabir. These songs use
different symbols from the lives of a common man to depict
a formless Bramha or supreme power. This makes it accessible
to all and extremely significant in folk songs. They often
depict the helplessness of man in his worldly life.
Commonly found analogies are between 'sansar' or the world
to 'naihar' or the bride's mother's home, Heaven to 'sasural'
or the home of the husband, 'atma' or soul to the 'priyatama'
or female lover and 'parmatma' or God to the lover. The
songs often look at life as a bird trapped in the cage
of the body which seeks its release in death or its union
with the supreme lover - God.
Nirgun songs fall under the category of community songs
because the 'chamar' or the shoe maker community sings
a lot of them under the influence of Sant Ravidas & Sant
Shivnarayan.
