Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
शृंगारिक माझीं नव्हती उत्तरें । आळवितों खरे अवस्थेच्या ॥1॥
न घलावा मधीं कामाचा विलंब । तुह्मी तों स्वयंभ करुणामूतिऩ ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे केलें सन्मुख वदन । देखतां चरण पोटाळीन ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
My words are not mere ornamentation; I call out from genuine anguish. Do not interpose any delay of desire between us; You are the self-born embodiment of compassion. Says Tuka, the moment You turn Your face toward me and I see Your feet, I shall clasp them to my breast.
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.
