Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
फुगडी फू सवती माझे तूं । हागुनि भरलें धू तुझ्या ढुंगा तोंडावरि ॥१॥
फुगडी घेतां आली हरी । ऊठ जावो जगनोवरी ॥ध्रु.॥
हातपाय बेंबळ जाती । ढुंगण घोळितां लागे माती ॥२॥
सात पांच आणिल्या हरी । वांचुनी काय तगसी पोरी ॥३॥
सरला दम पांगले पाय । आझुनि वरी घोळिसी काय ॥४॥
तुका म्हणे आझुन तरी । सांगितलें तें गधडी करी ॥५॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Fugadi, fu! You are my co-wife, O rival. You have defecated on yourself; wash your face and your backside. As she played the fugadi, Hari came along; rise now, O bride of the Lord of the world. Hands and legs go limp, and as the backside drags, it gathers dust. Five and seven more were brought along by Hari; how long can you last without them, girl? Your breath is spent, your legs have given way; why do you still try to spin around? Says Tuka, even now, do what you have been told, you she-donkey.
