Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
प्राण समपिऩला आह्मी । आतां उशीर कां स्वामी॥1॥
माझें फेडावें उसणें । भार न मना या ॠणें ॥ध्रु.॥
जाला कंठस्फोट। जवळी पातलों निकट ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे सेवा । कैसी बरी वाटे देवा॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have surrendered my very life-breath; why then this delay, O Lord? Repay what is owed to me; the burden of this debt weighs heavily upon my mind. My throat is hoarse from calling out; I have drawn very near. Says Tuka, how does my service appear to You, O God?.
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.
