॥
मराठी मूळ
आम्ही जालों गांवगुंड । अवघ्या पुंड भूतांसी ॥१॥
दुसरें तें खेळों आलें । एका बोले तो मियां ॥ध्रु.॥
अवघियांचा येऊं लाग । नेदूं अंग शिवाया ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे खुंटूं नाद । जिंतूं वाद सर्तीनें ॥३॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have become the village rogue, a bully to all the spirits and ghosts. Whatever second player comes along, I alone speak for him. I will come at everyone and let no one touch my body. Says Tuka, I will exhaust their noise and win every argument by sheer persistence.
