Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
सन्मुख चि तुह्मीं सांगावी जी सेवा । ऐसे माझे देवा मनोरथ ॥1॥
निघों आह्मी कांहीं चित्तवित्त घरें । आपुल्या उदारें जीवावरी ॥ध्रु.॥
बोल परस्परें वाढवावें सुख । पाहावें श्रीमुख डोळेभरी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे सत्य बोलतों वचन । करुनी चरण साक्ष तुझे ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
May You command Your service to me face to face, O Lord; such is the desire of my chitta. I will give away my mind, my wealth, my home, and my very life for Your sake. Let us exchange words that increase our mutual joy, and let me gaze at Your blessed face to my full satisfaction. Says Tuka, I speak this as a true vow, with Your feet as my witness.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
