Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
सीण भाग हरे तेथींच्या निरोपें । देखिलिया रूप उरी नुरे ॥1॥
इंिद्रयांची धांव होइऩल कुंटित । पावेल हें चित्त समाधान॥ध्रु.॥
माहेर आहेसें लौकिकीं कळावें । निढळ बरवें शोभा नेदी ॥2॥
आस नाहीं परी उरी बरी वाटे । आपलें तें भेटे आपणासी ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे माझी अविट आवडी । खंडण तांतडी होऊं नेदीं ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Weariness and fatigue vanish with just a word from that place; upon seeing that form, nothing remains. The rush of the senses becomes still, and the mind finds true peace. Let the world know that my true home exists; bare forehead has no glory without it. I claim no need, yet having someone of my own feels good; to meet oneself is the deepest joy. Says Tuka, my love for Him is inexhaustible; I will not let haste break this connection.
