Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
नाहीं माथां भार । तुह्मी घेत हा विचार ॥1॥
जाणोनियां ऐसें केलें । दुरिल अंगेसी लाविलें ॥ध्रु.॥
आतां बोलावें आवडी । नाम घ्यावें घडी घडी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे दुरी । देवा खोटी ऐसी उरी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
You do not take the burden upon Yourself; this is Your deliberate plan. Knowing this, You have placed the difficulty upon my shoulders. Now let me speak with love and take Your name again and again. Says Tuka, O God, this sort of remaining distant is unfair.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
विरह
Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
