Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
कां जी वाढविलें । न लगतां हें उगलें ॥1॥
आतां मानितां कांटाळा । भोवतीं मिळालिया बाळा ॥ध्रु.॥
लावूनियां सवे। पळतां दिसाल बरवे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे बापा । येतां न कळा चि रूपा ॥3॥ ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Why did You nurture us when it was not needed? Now You feel weary as the children have gathered around You. If You run away after leading them on, it will not look good. Says Tuka, O Father, when You come, may You not be recognized in disguise.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
विरह
Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
