Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

 दोष करूनि आह्मी पतित सिद्ध जालों । पावन मागों आलों ब्रीद तुझें ॥1॥

 आतां पतिता तारावें कीं ब्रीद हें सोडावें । यांत जें पुरवे तें चि सांगा ॥ध्रु.॥

 उद्धार तुमच्यानें नव्हे हो श्रीहरि। सोडा झडकरी ब्रीद आतां ॥2॥

 तें ब्रीद घेउनी हिंडों दारोदारीं । सांगूं तुझी कीर्ती रे पांडुरंगा ॥3॥

 देवें हारविलें ब्रीद हें सोडिलें । पतितें जिंकिलें आह्मीं देवा ॥4॥

 तुका ह्मणे आह्मीं उठलों दैन्यवरि। विचारा श्रीहरी तुह्मी आतां ॥5॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

By committing sins, we have firmly established ourselves as the fallen. We have come to seek purification, relying on Your vow, O Lord. Now choose: either uplift the fallen, or give up Your vow. Tell us which one suits You better. If You cannot deliver us, O Shrihari, then abandon Your vow at once. We will take that broken vow and carry it door to door, proclaiming Your fame, O Panduranga. God has lost; He gave up His vow. The wrongdoers have won; we have defeated God. Says Tuka, we have risen up against our lowliness. Now consider Your next move, O Shrihari.

We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
