गाथा 2315Longing and Separation

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

काय मी जाणता । तुह्मांहुनि अनंता ॥1॥

जो हा करूं अतिशय । कां तुह्मां दया नये ॥ध्रु.॥

काय तुज नाहीं कृपा । विश्वाचिया मायबापा ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे वाणी । माझी वदे तुह्मांहुनि॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

What do I know more than You, O Infinite One? When I make this excess of effort, does compassion not stir in You? Do You lack mercy, O Mother and Father of the world? Says Tuka, my tongue speaks more boldly than You do.

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.
