Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
नाहीं मागितला । तुह्मां मान म्यां विठ्ठला ॥1॥
जे हे करविली फजिती । माझी एवढी जना हातीं ॥ध्रु.॥
नाहीं केला पोट । पुढें घालूनि बोभाट ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे धरूनि हात । नाहीं नेले दिवानांत ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I never asked You for any honor, O Vitthal. Yet what humiliation You have brought upon me, placing me in the hands of the people. I never made a public uproar, throwing myself before You with my complaints. Says Tuka, I never took You by the hand and hauled You into court.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
विरह
Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
