Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
क्षणभरी आम्ही सोसिलें वाईट । साधिलें अवीट निजसुख ॥१॥
सांडी मांडी मागें केल्या भरोवरी । अधिक चि परी दुःखाचिया ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे येणें जाणें नाहीं आतां । राहिलों अनंताचिये पायीं ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
For a brief moment we endured what was bitter, and in return we gained imperishable joy. All the bargaining and bartering of the past only multiplied our sorrows. Says Tuka, now there is no more coming and going; I have settled at the feet of Ananta.
