Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
या चि हाका तुझे द्वारीं । सदा देखों रिणकरी ॥1॥
सदा करिसी खंड दंड । देवा बहु गा तूं लंड ॥ध्रु.॥
सुखें गोविसी भोजना । लपवूनियां आपणां ॥2॥
एकें एक बुझाविसी । तुका ह्मणे ठक होसी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
At Your door I see only debtors, calling out again and again. You always impose cuts and penalties. O God, what a thorough scoundrel You are. You lure with the promise of a feast, all while hiding Yourself away. You put one off, then the next. Says Tuka, You are a cheat through and through.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
