Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
ह्मणसी दावीन अवस्था । तैसें नको रे अनंता ॥1॥
होऊनियां सहाकार । रूप दाखवीं सुंदर ॥ध्रु.॥
मृगजळाचिया परी। तैसें न करावें हरी ॥2॥
तुकयाबंधु ह्मणे हरी । कामा नये बाहएात्कारी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
You say You will reveal Your state, but do not do so that way, O Ananta. Be gracious and show me Your beautiful form. Do not be like a mirage, O Hari, appearing only to vanish. Says Tuka's brother, O Hari, mere force is of no use here.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
विरह
Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
