Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
चुकलिया आह्मां करितसां दंड । हाकासी कां खंड पांडुरंगा ॥1॥
चाळविलीं एकें रििद्धसिद्धीवरी । तैसा मी भिकारी नव्हें देवा ॥ध्रु.॥
कां मी येथें गुंतों मांडूनि पसारा । मागुता दातारा दंभासाटीं ॥2॥
केलें म्यां जतन आपुलें वचन । ठायींचें धरून होतों पोटीं ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे ताळा घातला आडाखीं । ठावें होतें सेकीं आडविसी ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When I err, You punish me; then why do You cut off my cry for help, O Panduranga? Some You have pacified with supernatural powers; I am not that kind of beggar, O God. Why should I stay here, setting up a show, only to play the hypocrite again, O generous one? I have guarded my own word and held fast to what was promised from the start. Says Tuka, the reckoning was fixed in advance; I knew You would block me at the end.

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