Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
घेती पाण्यासी हुंबरी । त्यांचें समाधान करी ॥१॥
ऐशी गोपाळांची सवे । जाती तिकडे मागें धांवे ॥ध्रु.॥
स्थिरावली गंगा । पांगविली म्हणे उगा ॥२॥
मोहरी पांवा काठी । तुका म्हणे यांजसाठी ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When the boys wrestle each other at the water's edge, He satisfies them all. Wherever the cowherd boys go, He runs behind them. Even the Ganga stood still, and He calmed her, saying, be at peace. Says Tuka, the flute, the horn, the stick: all these are just excuses to be with them.
