Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
 तुझी कीर्ती सांगों तुजपुढें जरी । ब्रह्मांडीं ही हरी माइऩना ते ॥1॥
 मेरूची लेखणी सागराची शाइऩ । कागद हा मही न पुरे चि ॥ध्रु.॥
अनंत अपार आपंगिले भH । माझें चि संचित ओडवेना ॥2॥
 तुका ह्मणे तुह्मां बोल नाहीं देवा । पामरें म्यां सेवा केली नाहीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
If I were to recount Your glory before You, O Hari, even the universe could not contain it. If Mount Meru were the pen, the ocean the ink, and the earth the paper, still it would not suffice. Countless devotees have You embraced; only my own accumulated merit falls short. Says Tuka, there is no fault in You, O God. It is this pitiable one who has failed to serve You.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
