Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
 चित्तीं तुझे पाय डोळां रूपाचें ध्यान । अखंड मुखीं नाम वर्णावे गुण ॥1॥
 हें चि एक तुह्मां देवा मागणें दातारा । उचित तें करा माझा भाव जाणूनि ॥ध्रु.॥
 खुंटली जाणींव माझें बोलणें आतां । करूं यावी तैसी करावी बाळकाची चिंता ॥2॥
 तुका ह्मणे आतां नको देऊं अंतर । न कळे पुढें काय बोलों विचार॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Your feet in my chitta, the vision of Your form in my eyes, Your name unbroken on my tongue, singing Your virtues always. This is my only prayer to You, O generous Lord. Grant what is fitting, knowing my devotion. My knowledge has reached its limit; I cannot say more now. Care for me as one cares for a child. Says Tuka, do not withdraw from me now. I do not know what I may say next, O Lord.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
