Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
निष्ठ यासाटीं करितों भाषण । आहेसी तूं सर्वजाण दाता ॥1॥
ऐसें कोण दुःख आहे निवारिता । तो मी जाऊं आतां शरण त्यासी ॥ध्रु.॥
बैसलासी केणें करुनि एक घरीं । नाहीं येथें उरी दुसयाची ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आलें अवघें चि पायापें । आतां मायबापें नुपेक्षावें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I speak so stubbornly because You are the all-knowing giver. What sorrow exists that has another remover? I would go and surrender to that one instead. But You have filled the entire house with Your presence; there is no room for any other. Says Tuka, everything has arrived at Your feet; now, O Mother and Father, do not turn away.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
