Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
येथील जें एक घडी । तये जोडी पार नाहीं ॥1॥
ती त्यांचा सासुरवास । कैंचा रस हा तेथें ॥ध्रु.॥
अवघे दिवस गेले कामा । हीं जन्मा खंडण ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे रतल्या जनीं । सोडा झणी कान्होबा ॥3॥ ॥8॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
A single moment here is worth more than any treasure. Their worldly homes are like a hard in-laws' house; what sweetness can be found there? All the days spent here have purified their very births. Says Tuka, do not release these absorbed women, O Krishna.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
