वर्त्ततां बासर । काय करावें शरीर ॥1॥
ठेवा नेमून नेमून । माझें तुमचे पायीं मन ॥ध्रु.॥

तुका ह्मणे भले । जन्मा येऊनियां जाले ॥3॥

As the days pass, what use is this body? Keep your mind tied firmly to His feet. Do not let your awareness scatter in any direction, O Lord. Says Tuka, blessed are those who have made their birth worthwhile.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
