Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
उदार कृपाळ अनाथांचा नाथ । ऐकसी मात शरणागतां ॥1॥
पाचारितां उभा राहासी जवळी । पाहिजे ते काळीं पुरवावें ॥2॥
चालतां ही पंथ सांभाळिसी वाटे । वारिसील कांटे खडे हातें ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे चिंता नाहीं तुझ्या दासां । तूं त्यांचा कोंवसा सर्वभावें ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Generous, compassionate, Lord of the helpless, You hear the word of those who seek refuge. When called, You stand near at once, providing what is needed in that very moment. Even as we walk the road, You watch over us, clearing thorns and stones with Your own hands. Says Tuka, Your servants carry no worry, for You are their tender guardian in every way.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
