मराठी मूळ
चालवणें काय । ऐसें अंगे माझे माय ॥1॥
धांव धांव लवलाहें । कंठीं प्राण वाट पाहे ॥ध्रु.॥
पसरूनि कर । तुज चालिलों समोर ॥2॥
देसील विसांवा । तुका ह्मणे ऐशा हांवा॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
How can I keep walking, O Mother, with a body such as mine? Run, run to me quickly! My life breath watches the road for You. I come toward You with arms outstretched. Says Tuka, will You grant me rest? That is my only yearning.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
