Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
 भागल्याचें तारूं शिणल्याची साउली । भुकेलिया घाली प्रेमपान्हा ॥1॥
 ऐसी हे कृपाळू अनाथांची वेशी । सुखाची च राशी पांडुरंग ॥ध्रु.॥
 सकळां सन्मुख कृपेचिया दृष्टी । पाहे बहु भेटी उतावीळां ॥2॥
 तुका ह्मणे येथें आतां उरला कैंचा । अनंता जन्मींचा शीण भाग ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
For the weary He is a raft, for the exhausted He is shade, and for the hungry He pours forth the milk of love. Such is this compassionate refuge of the helpless, a very treasure of joy: Panduranga. He looks upon all with the gaze of mercy, eager to meet those who long for Him. Says Tuka, what weariness or burden of countless births can remain here now?.
