Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
भेटीवांचोनियां दुजें नाहीं चित्तीं । येणें काकुलती याजसाटीं ॥1॥
भेटोनियां बोलें आवडीचें गुज । आनंदाच्या भोजें जेवूं संगें ॥ध्रु.॥
मायलेकरासीं नाहीं दुजी परि । जेऊं बरोबरी बैसोनियां ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे ऐसें अंतरींचें आर्त । यावें जी त्वरित नारायणा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
My chitta desires nothing but Your meeting. That is why I come pleading. Let us meet and share the intimate secrets of devotion. Let us sit together and feast on bliss. Between mother and child there is no formality. Let us sit side by side and share the meal. Says Tuka, such is the longing of my chitta. Come quickly, O Narayana.
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.
