Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
तुझें रूप पाहतां देवा । सुख जालें माझ्या जीवा॥1॥
हें तों वाचे बोलवेना । काय सांगों नारायणा ॥ध्रु.॥
जन्मोजन्मींचे सुकृत । तुझे पायीं रमे चित्त ॥2॥
जरी योगाचा अभ्यास । तेव्हां तुझा निजध्यास ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे भH । गोड गाऊं हरिचें गीत॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Seeing Your form, O God, joy has filled my jiva. This cannot be expressed in words. What can I tell You, O Narayana? Through the merit of many births, my mind delights at Your feet. When the practice of yoga was undertaken, it became the constant contemplation of You. Says Tuka, let us devotees sweetly sing the song of Hari.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Ecstasy and Joy
Triumphant happiness: poems written from the far side of the struggle.
