Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
1242. कइप मात माझे ऐकती कान । बोलतां वचन संतां मुखीं ॥1॥
केला पांडूरंगें तुझा अंगीकार । मग होइल धीर माझ्या जीवा ॥ध्रु.॥
ह्मणऊनि मुख अवलोकितों पाय । हे चि मज आहे थोरी आशा ॥2॥
माझिया मनाचा हा चि विश्वास । न करीं सायास साधनांचे ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे मज होइऩल भरवसा । तरलों मी ऐसा साच भाव ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When will my ears hear the saints say that Panduranga has accepted me? Only then will my soul find courage. Therefore I gaze upon Your feet, watching for that word. This alone is my great hope. My mind holds this one trust and seeks no other practice. Says Tuka, when I receive this assurance, I shall know truly that I am saved.

Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
