Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
लेंकराचें हित । वाहे माउलीचें चित्त ॥1॥
ऐसी कळवऑयाची जाती । करी लाभेंविण प्रीती ॥ध्रु.॥
पोटीं भार वाहे। त्याचें सर्वस्व ही साहे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे माझें । तैसे तुह्मां संतां ओझें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
A mother's heart is always occupied with the welfare of her child. Such is the nature of true tenderness: it loves without any expectation of return. She carries the burden in her womb and endures everything the child brings. Says Tuka, O saints, you bear the same weight on my behalf.
