Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
गोड लागे परी सांगतां चि न ये । बैसे मिठी सये आवडीची ॥१॥
वेधलें वो येणें श्रीरंगरंगें । मीमाजी अंगें हारपलीं ॥ध्रु.॥
परते चि ना दृष्टी बैसली ते ठायीं । विसावोनि पायीं ठेलें मन ॥२॥
तुकयाच्या स्वामीसवें जाली भेटी । तेव्हां जाली तुटी मागिल्यांची ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
It tastes sweet, and yet it cannot be described. An embrace of pure love settles in, the embrace of a beloved companion. I have been pierced by the splendor of Shrirang; all sense of "I" and "mine" has vanished. My gaze will not turn back; it has settled where it settled, and my mind has come to rest at his feet. Says Tuka, from the moment I met my Lord, all ties with the past were cut.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
