Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
भय वाटे पर । न सुटे हा संसार ॥1॥
ऐसा पडिलों कांचणी । करीं धांवा ह्मणउनी ॥ध्रु.॥
विचारितों कांहीं । तों हें मन हातीं नाहीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे देवा । येथें न पुरे रिघावा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I am afraid that I shall never escape this worldly existence. I have fallen into such a trap; therefore I cry out for Your help. Whenever I try to think, the mind is not in my hands. Says Tuka, O God, even my entry here is not within my reach.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
