Dohe are a form of couplet poetry originating from the Indian subcontinent, particularly associated with the Bhakti and Sufi movements. They typically consist of two lines, each containing a specific number of syllables, and convey moral or philosophical messages. The simplicity and rhythmic quality of dohe make them accessible to a wide audience.
One of the most famous poets known for his dohe is Kabir, whose verses often reflect themes of spirituality and social justice. Dohe are commonly recited in various cultural and religious contexts, serving as a means of imparting wisdom and encouraging reflection among listeners.
