Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
 जाणों नेणों काय । चित्तीं धरूं तुझे पाय ॥1॥
 आतां हें चि वर्म । गाऊं धरूनियां प्रेम ॥ध्रु.॥
 कासया सांडूं मांडूं। भाव हृदयीं च कोंडूं ॥2॥
 तुका ह्मणे देवा । जन्मोजन्मीं मागें सेवा॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Whether I know or not, let me hold Your feet in my chitta. Now this alone is the secret: let me sing, holding fast to love. Why should I abandon or restart? Let me contain my devotion within my own chitta. Says Tuka, O God, birth after birth, I ask only for Your service.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
