Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
आतां न राहें क्षण एक । तुझा कळला रे लौकिक। नेदीं हालों एक । कांहीं केल्यावांचूनि ॥1॥
संबंध पडिला कोणाशीं। काय डोळे झांकितोसी । नेइऩन पांचांपाशीं । दे नाहींतरी वोढूनि॥ध्रु.॥
सुखें नेदीस जाणवलें । नास केल्याविण उगलें । तरि तें ही विचारिलें । आह्मी आहे तुज आधीं ॥2॥
असें च करूनि किती । नागविलीं नाहीं नीती । तुकयाबंधु ह्मणे अंतीं । न सोडिसी ते खोडी॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Now I will not rest for a single moment. Your true character has been revealed. I will not let You move an inch without getting what is mine. What connection have You formed? Why do You close Your eyes? I will drag You before the five elders if You do not give willingly. If sweetness fails and You will not yield without destruction, know that I have already considered that option too. How long will You go on cheating in this way? Says Tukya-bandhu, in the end You never give up Your tricks.

Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
