Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
चित्त तुझ्या पायीं । ठेवुनि जालों उतराइऩ ॥1॥
परि तूं खोटा केशीराजा । अंतपार न कळे तुझा ॥ध्रु.॥
आह्मी सर्वस्वें उदार । तुज देऊनियां धीर ॥2॥
इंिद्रयांची होळी । संवसार दिला बळी ॥3॥
न पडे विसर । तुझा आह्मां निरंतर ॥4॥
प्रेम एकासाटी। तुका ह्मणे न वेचे गांठी ॥5॥
आह्मी पतित ह्मणोनि तुज आलों शरण । करितों चिंतन दिवस रात्रीं ।
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have placed my heart at Your feet and become free of obligation. But You are the deceitful one, O Keshiraja; I cannot fathom Your limits. I have been generous with everything, giving You my courage and resolve. I have made a bonfire of the senses and offered worldly life as a sacrifice. My remembrance of You never lapses, not for a single moment. Says Tuka, my love is for You alone, and that is a treasure the purse never exhausts. Because I am fallen, I have come to You for refuge, meditating on You day and night.
