Kabir (Hindi: कबीर, IAST: Kabīr[4]) was a 15th-century Indian mystic poet and saint, whose writings influenced Hinduism's Bhakti movement and his verses are found in Sikhism's scripture Adi Granth.[5][6][7] His early life was in a Muslim family, but he was strongly influenced by his teacher, the Hindu bhakti leader Ramananda.[5]
Kabir's legacy survives and continues through the Kabir panth ("Path of Kabir"), a religious community that recognises him as its founder and is one of the Sant Mat sects. Its members are known as Kabir panthis.[9]
The years of Kabir's birth and death are unclear.[10][11]:14 Some historians favor 1398–1448 as the period Kabir lived,[1][11]:5 while others favor 1440–1518.[2][5][11]:106

Find below your paragraph. It is thoroughly researched and basically replicates the life of Kabir Das in a short summary.

Despite the fact that little is known about the life of the Indian spiritualist and writer Kabir, it is trusted his birthplace is in or close to Varanasi. He experienced childhood in a group of Muslim weavers previously turning into a supporter of the Hindu parsimonious Ramananda. Kabir is viewed as both a Sufi and Brahmin holy person.

Kabir's verse draws on both Hinduism and Islam, however, he was disparaging of specific parts of the two beliefs. A portion of his refrains are incorporated into the accumulation of Sikh sacred writings known as the Adi-Granth. His supernatural sonnets are grounded in the subtleties and natural points of interest of regular existence.

Kabir's short poems have been gathered in One Hundred Poems of Kabir; translated by Rabindranath Tagore, and Kabir: Ecstatic Poems, write-ups by Robert Bly.
