Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
तुमचा तुह्मीं केला गोवा । आतां चुकवितां देवा ॥1॥
कैसें सरे चाळवणें । केलें काशाला शाहाणें ॥ध्रु.॥
कासया रूपा । नांवा आलेति गा बापा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आतां । न सरे हवाले घालितां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
You have entangled Yourself in Your own doing. Now You are trying to escape, O God. How long will this game of teasing go on? Why did You make us wise at all? Why did You take on form? Why did You come into name, O Father? Says Tuka, now it will not do to hand this off to another.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
