॥
मराठी मूळ
कोठें देवा बोलों । तुह्मां भीड घालूं गेलों ॥1॥
करावाया सkवहाणी । भांडवलाची टांचणी ॥ध्रु.॥
दुर्बळा मागतां । त्याच्या प्रवर्तला घाता ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे नाहीं । मज कळलें ऐसें कांहीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Where, O Lord, shall I even begin to speak? I went to press You for a favor, hoping to scrape together some capital for the trade. But when a poor man begs, the world moves to destroy him. Says Tuka, I never realized things could turn out like this.
