Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
आह्मी भाग्याचे भाग्याचे । आह्मां तांबे भोपऑयाचे॥1॥
लोकां घरीं गाइऩ ह्मैसी । आह्मां घरीं उंदीरघुसी ॥ध्रु.॥
लोकां घरीं हत्ती घोडे । आह्मां आधोडीचे जोडे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आह्मी सुडके। आह्मां देखोन काळ धाके ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
We are the fortunate ones, truly fortunate. Our vessels are made of gourds. Other homes have cows and buffaloes; our home has only rats and mice. Other homes have elephants and horses; we have half-broken sandals. Says Tuka, we are stripped bare, and seeing us, even Death is afraid.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
