Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
वाळूनियां जन सांडी मज दुरी । करिसील हरी ऐसें कधीं ॥1॥
आठवीन पाय धरूनि अनुताप । वाहे जळ झोंप नाहीं डोळां ॥ध्रु.॥
नावडती जीवा आणीक प्रकार । आवडी ते फार एकांताची ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे ऐसी धरितों वासना । होइप नारायणा साहए मज ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Will You ever cast me off, turn the people against me, and push me far away, O Hari? I would cling to Your feet in remorse, tears streaming, with no sleep in my eyes. My soul cares for no other pursuit; the love of solitude alone appeals to me. Says Tuka, this is the longing I hold; be my help, O Narayana.

Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
