Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
मागितल्यास आस करा । उरी धरा कांहींबाहीं ॥1॥
ह्मणऊनि सारिली आस । होती यास मूळ तें ॥ध्रु.॥
माझ्या मोहें तुज पान्हा । लोटे स्तना वोरस ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आळवणे । माझ्या देणें उत्तर ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
If You have been asked, then fulfill the wish; keep something of Yourself in reserve if You must. That is why all hope was channeled to You, for You are the root of it all. Your love for me makes the milk of Your breast overflow. Says Tuka, my pleading is itself Your gift, and Your answer is my due.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
