मराठी मूळ
ठाकलोंसें द्वारीं । उभें याचक भीकारी ॥1॥
मज भीक कांहीं देवा । प्रेमभातुकें पाठवा ॥ध्रु.॥
याचकाचा भार । नये घेऊं येरझार ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे दान । सेवा घेतल्यावांचून ॥3॥
सदाशिवावर अभंग ॥ 2 ॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I stand at your door, a beggar and a supplicant. Give me alms, O God: send me the gift of love. A beggar should not be made to come and go in vain. Says Tuka, no gift is complete unless service has first been received.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
प्रार्थना
Prayers
Direct appeals to God: for protection, guidance, strength, and mercy.
