Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
दावूनियां बंड । पुरे न करी तें भांड ॥1॥
जळो जळो तैसें जिणें । फटमरे लाजिरवाणें ॥ध्रु.॥
घेतलें तें सोंग । बरवें संपादावें सांग ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे धीरें । देवें नुपेिक्षलें खरें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The one who raises rebellion and yet does not see it through is a mere pretender. Cursed be such a life, deceitful and shameful. Once you have assumed a role, see it through properly and completely. Says Tuka, God does not neglect the one who perseveres with patience.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
