मराठी मूळ
होतों सांपडलों वेठी । जातां भेटी संसारा ॥1॥
तों या वाटे कृपा केली । भेटी जाली विठोबासी ॥ध्रु.॥
होता भार माथां माझे । बहु ओझें अमुप ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे केली चिंता । कोण दाता भेटेल ॥3॥

English Translation
I had been trapped in forced labor on the road to worldly existence. Then, along the way, grace was shown and a meeting with Vitthal took place. There was an immeasurable burden upon my head. Says Tuka, I had been wondering anxiously: what generous soul will come to my rescue?.
