Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
जन मानविलें वरी बाहएात्कारीं । तैसा मी अंतरीं नाहीं जालों ॥1॥
ह्मणउनी पंढरीनाथा वाटतसे चिंता । प्रगट बोलतां लाज वाटे ॥ध्रु.॥
संतां ब्रह्मरूप जालें अवघें जन । ते माझे अवगुण न देखती ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे मी तों आपणांसी ठावा । आहें बरा देवा जैसा तैसा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have pleased the world through outward show, but inwardly I have not truly changed. Therefore, O Lord of Pandhari, worry haunts me. I feel ashamed to speak openly. The saints, having realized Brahman in all things, do not notice my faults. Says Tuka, I know myself as I truly am, O God, just as I am.
