Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
मागतां विभाग । कोठें लपाल जी मग ॥1॥
संत साक्षी या वचना । त्यांसी ठाउकिया खुणा ॥ध्रु.॥
होइन धरणेकरी। मग मी रिघों नेदीं बाहेरी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे मी अक्षर । तुज देवपणाचा भार ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When I come to claim my share, where will You hide? The saints are witnesses to these words; they know the secret signs. I will sit in protest and not let You out. Says Tuka, I am the imperishable one, and the burden of Your Godhood rests on You.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.

Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
