Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
कां जी धरिलें नाम । तुह्मी असोनि निष्काम ॥1॥
कोणां सांगतसां Yाान । ठकाठकीचें लक्षण ॥ध्रु.॥
आवडीनें नाचें। आहे तरी पुढें साचें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे प्रेम । नाहीं भंगायाचें काम ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
O God, why have you taken a Name when you are already desireless? Whom are you teaching this knowledge to? It all seems like a divine game. If there is something real beyond all this, let it dance before us in love. Says Tuka, love is not something that can ever be broken.
