॥
मराठी मूळ
जग तरि आह्मां देव । परि हे निंदितों स्वभाव ॥1॥
येतो हिताचा कळवळा । पडती हातीं ह्मुन काळा ॥ध्रु.॥
नाहीं कोणी सखा । आह्मां निपराध पारिखा ॥2॥
उपक्रमें वदे । तुका वर्मासी तें भेदे ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The world is God to us, yet we must criticize its ways. A deep concern for welfare arises within us: they are falling into the hands of Death. We have no personal enemy; we are blameless and impartial toward all. Says Tuka, through earnest speech, one pierces to the vital point.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
