Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
काय करूं जीव होतो कासावीस । कोंडलिये दिस गमे चि ना ॥1॥
पडिलें हें दिसे ब्रह्मांड चि वोस । दाटोनि उच्छ्वास राहातसे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आगा सर्वजाणतिया । विश्वंभरें काया निववावी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
What can I do? My life is suffocating; these imprisoned days feel unending. The entire universe appears empty and desolate; my very breath feels choked. Says Tuka, O all-knowing One, O Lord of the Universe, cool this burning body.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.

Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
