Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
कवणांशीं भांडों कोण माझें साहे । कोण मज आहे तुजविण ॥1॥
धरिलें उदास दुरदुरांतरें । सांडी एकसरें केली माझी॥ध्रु.॥
आइकोन माझे नाइकसी बोल । देखोनियां खोळ बुंथी घेसी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे एके गांवींची वसती । ह्मणऊनि खंती वाटे देवा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
With whom shall I quarrel? Who will take my side? Who do I have besides You? You have grown distant, casting me off all at once. You hear my words but refuse to listen; seeing me approach, You pull a veil over Yourself. Says Tuka, we dwell in the same village, and so this neglect pains me, O God.

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