मराठी मूळ
असो आतां किती । तुज यावें काकुलती ॥1॥
माझें प्रारब्ध हें गाढें । तूं बापुडें तयापुढें ॥ध्रु.॥
सोडवीन आतां । ब्रीदें तुझीं पंढरीनाथा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे बळी । तो गांढएाचे कान पिळी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
How long must I keep pleading with You in supplication? My fate is strong indeed; perhaps You are helpless before it. I will now hold You to Your own pledges, O Lord of Pandhari. Says Tuka, the strong one twists the ears of the timid.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
