Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
सांडूनि कीर्तन न करीं आणीक काज । नाचेन निर्लज्ज तुझ्या रंगीं ॥1॥
आवडीचें आर्त पुरवीं पंढरिराया । शरण तुझ्या पायां या चि लागीं ॥ध्रु.॥
टाळी वाहूनियां विठ्ठल ह्मणेन । तेणें निवारीन भवश्रम ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे देवा नुपेक्षावें आह्मां । न्यावें निजधामा आपुलिया ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Giving up everything else, I shall do nothing but kirtan. I shall dance without shame, lost in Your divine rapture. Fulfill the longing of my chitta, O Lord of Pandhari. I come to Your feet for this one thing alone. Clapping my hands, I shall cry 'Vitthal,' and by that I shall conquer the weariness of worldly existence. Says Tuka, O God, do not neglect us. Take us to Your own abode.
