Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
आह्मीं देतों हाका । कां रे जालासी तूं मुका ॥1॥
न बोलसी नारायणा । कळलासी क्रियाहीना ॥ध्रु.॥
आधीं करूं चौघाचार। मग सांडूं भीडभार ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे सेवटीं । तुह्मां आह्मां घालूं तुटी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I am calling out to You. Why have You gone silent? You do not speak, O Narayana; I have found You to be one who does nothing. First let us observe formal courtesies, and then let us drop all pretense of politeness. Says Tuka, in the end, let us settle the matter between us once and for all.
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.
