Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
 राम कृष्ण ऐसीं उच्चारितां नामें । नाचेन मी प्रेमें संतांपुढें ॥1॥
 काय घडेल तें घडो ये सेवटीं । लाभ हाणी तुटी देव जाणे ॥ध्रु.॥
 चिंता मोह आशा ठेवुनि निराळीं । देइऩन हा बळी जीव पायीं ॥2॥
 तुका ह्मणे कांहीं उरों नेदीं उरी । सांडीन हे थोरी ओवाळोनी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Uttering the names Rama and Krishna, I will dance with love before the saints. Whatever may happen in the end, let it happen; God knows the profit and loss. Setting aside worry, delusion, and desire, I will lay down this very life at His feet. Says Tuka, I will hold back nothing; I will toss away all pride as an offering.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
