Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
भिHॠण घेतलें माझें । चरण गाहाण आहेत तुझे॥1॥
प्रेम व्याज देइप हरी । माझा हिशेब लवकरी करीं ॥ध्रु.॥
माझें मी न सोडीं धन । नित्य करितों कीर्त्तन ॥2॥
तुझें नाम आहे खत । सुखें करी पंचाइऩत ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे गरुडध्वजा । यासी साक्ष श्रीगुरुराजा ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have taken a loan of devotion, and Your feet are my collateral. Pay me the interest of divine love, O Hari; settle my account quickly. I will not let go of my wealth; daily I perform kirtan. Your Name is my written bond; hold the tribunal at Your pleasure. Says Tuka, O Lord of the Garuda banner, the Guru Himself is witness to this.
