Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
जालों तंव साचें । दास राहवणें काचें ॥1॥
हें कां मिळतें उचित । तुह्मी नेणा कृपावंत ॥ध्रु.॥
सिंहाचें ते पिलें । जाय घेऊनियां कोल्हें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे नास । आह्मां ह्मणविलियां दास॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Having truly become Your servant, my hold on the world has grown fragile. Does this seem right to You, O compassionate One, that You do not see? A lion's cub is carried off by a jackal. Says Tuka, if we are called Your servants, then our destruction would be Your shame.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
