Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
विठ्ठला विठ्ठला । कंठ आळवितां फुटला ॥1॥
कइप कृपा करिसी नेणें । मज दीनाचें धांवणें ॥ध्रु.॥
जाल्या येरझारा । जन्मां बहुतांचा फेरा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे नष्टा । अबोलण्या तुझ्या चेष्टा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Vitthal, Vitthal! My throat has cracked from calling out to You. When will You show mercy? I do not know. Come running to this pitiable one. Many rounds of coming and going, many births have I endured. Says Tuka, O scoundrel, this silence of Yours is just one of Your tricks.
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.
