Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
येतील अंतरा शिष्टाचे अनुभव । तळमळी जीव तया सुखा ॥1॥
आतां माझा जीव घेउनियां बळी । बैसवावें वोळी संतांचिये ॥ध्रु.॥
तुका ह्मणे आलों निर्वाणा च वरी । राहों नेदीं उरी नारायणा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The experiences spoken of by the virtuous will come to pass within, and my jiva yearns for that bliss. Now take my life as an offering and seat me in the company of saints. Says Tuka, I have come to the very edge of desperation. Do not let anything remain unsettled, O Narayana.
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.
