Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
तुजऐसा कोणी न देखें उदार । अभयदानशूर पांडुरंगा ॥1॥
शरण येती त्यांचे न विचारिसी दोष । न मागतां त्यांस अढळ देसी ॥ध्रु.॥
धांवसी आडणी ऐकोनियां धांवा । कइवारें देवा भHांचिया ॥2॥
दोष त्यांचे जाळी कल्पकोटिवरी । नामासाटीं हरि आपुलिया ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे तुज वाणूं कैशा परी । एक मुख हरी आयुष्य थोडें ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I see no one as generous as You, O Panduranga, champion of fearlessness. You do not examine the faults of those who come to You for refuge; without their asking, You grant them the imperishable. Hearing a devotee's cry, You rush to their aid, O God, moved by love for Your devotees. For the sake of Your own name, You burn away their sins accumulated over millions of ages. Says Tuka, how can I praise You adequately with one mouth and a short life, O Hari?.
