Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
करितां वेरझारा । उभा न राहासी वेव्हारा ॥1॥
हे तों झोंडाइऩचे चाळे । काय पोटीं तें न कळे ॥ध्रु.॥
आरगुणी मुग । बैसलासी जैसा बग ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे किती । बुडविलीं आळवितीं॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When the rounds of exchange come, You do not stay to settle the account. These are just evasive games; can I not see what is really in Your belly? You sit motionless, watching like a crane. Says Tuka, how many who called upon You have You let drown?.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
