Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
कळेल हें तैसें गाइऩन मी तुज । जनासवें काज काय माझें ॥1॥
करीन मी स्तुती आपुले आवडी । जैसी माझ्या गोडी वाटे जीवा ॥ध्रु.॥
होऊनी निर्भर नाचेन मी छंदें । आपुल्या आनंदें करूनियां ॥2॥
काय करूं कळा युHी या कुसरी । जाणिवेच्या परी सकिळका ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे माझें जयासवें काज । भोळा तो सहज पांडुरंग ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I will sing of You as best I can; what business do I have with the opinion of the world? I will offer praise according to my own love, as sweetness fills my jiva. I will become carefree and dance to my own rhythm, rejoicing in my own bliss. What use are cleverness, strategy, or skill? All such knowing has its limits. Says Tuka, my dealings are with the One who is simple and straightforward: Panduranga.
