Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
खेळों लागलों सुरकवडी । माझी घोंगडी हारपली ॥1॥
कान्होबाचे पडिलों गळां । घेइप गोपाळा देइप झाडा ॥ध्रु.॥
मी तों हागे उघडा जालों । अवघ्या आलों बाहेरी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे बुिद्ध काची । नाहीं ठायींची मजपाशीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
While playing a gambling game, my blanket was lost. I have fallen at Krishna's feet, pleading: give it back, O Gopala, settle this account! I have been stripped bare, exposed before all. Says Tuka, my wits were weak; I never truly had them.
