Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
नको ब्रह्मज्ञान आत्मिस्थतिभाव । मी भH तूं देव ऐसें करीं ॥1॥
दावीं रूप मज गोपिकारमणा । ठेवीन चरणांवरी माथा ॥ध्रु.॥
पाहोनि श्रीमुख देइन आलिंगन । जीवें निंबलोण उतरीन ॥2॥
पुसतां सांगेन हितगुज मात । बैसोनि एकांत सुखगोष्टी ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे यासी न लावीं उशीर । माझें अभ्यंतर जाणोनियां ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I do not want the knowledge of Brahman or the state of Self-realization. Simply make me the devotee and You the God. Show me Your form, O beloved of the gopis, that I may lay my head upon Your feet. Seeing Your blessed face, I shall embrace You and wave my very life around You as an offering. When You ask, I shall share the secrets of my heart. We shall sit together in solitude and speak of joyful things. Says Tuka, do not delay in this. You know my innermost longing.
