Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
आह्मां बोल लावा । तुह्मां अनुचित हें देवा ॥1॥
ऐसें सांगा कां व्यालेती । काय नाहीं तुह्मां हातीं ॥ध्रु.॥
आतां धरा दुरी । वांयां दवडाया थोरी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे ठायीं । ऐसें विचारावें पायीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
To make us speak and then ignore us is unbecoming of You, O Lord. Tell me then, why did You bring this into being? Is there nothing in Your power? Now set aside the habit of squandering Your glory at a distance. Says Tuka, reflect upon this at Your feet.
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.
