Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
नसतों किविलवाणें । कांहीं तुमच्या कृपादानें ॥1॥
हे चि तयाची ओळखी । धालें टवटवित मुखीं ॥ध्रु.॥
वांयां जात नाहीं । वचन प्रीतीचें तें कांहीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे देवा । सत्य येतें अनुभवा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I would not appear so pitiful were it not for Your grace. The mark of Your blessing is this: my face glows with contentment. A word spoken with love never goes to waste. Says Tuka, O God, this truth comes through direct experience.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
