Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
कोणी सुना कोणी लेंकी । कोणी एकी सतंता ॥1॥
अवघियांची जगनिंद । जाली धिंद सारखी ॥ध्रु.॥
अवघ्या अवघ्या चोरा । विना वरा मायबापा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे करा सेवा । आलें जीवावर तरी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Some were daughters-in-law, some were daughters, some were mothers of families. All of them alike were talked about by the world; equal scandal fell upon them all. They were all alike in being thieves of love, apart from the one Beloved, their Mother and Father. Says Tuka, serve Him even if it costs your life.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
