मराठी मूळ
विठ्ठल टाळ विठ्ठल दिंडी । विठ्ठल तोंडीं उच्चारा ॥1॥
विठ्ठल अवघ्या भांडवला । विठ्ठल बोला विठ्ठल ॥ध्रु.॥
विठ्ठल नाद विठ्ठल भेद । विठ्ठल छंद विठ्ठल ॥2॥
विठ्ठल सुखा विठ्ठल दुःखा। तुकया मुखा विठ्ठल ॥3॥

Vitthal is the sound, Vitthal is the distinction, Vitthal is the passion, Vitthal is all. Vitthal in joy, Vitthal in sorrow; Says Tuka, Vitthal alone fills the mouth.
