Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
आतां पाहों पंथ माहेराची वाट । कामाचा बोभाट पडो सुखें ॥1॥
काय करूं आतां न गमेसें जालें । बहुत सोसिलें बहु दिस ॥ध्रु.॥
घर लागे पाठी चित्ता उभे वारे । आपुलें तें झुरे पाहावया ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे जीव गेला तरी जाव । धरिला तो देव भाव सिद्धी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Now let me watch the path that leads home; let the clamor of duties fall away. What can I do? Life has become unbearable; I have endured too much for too long. The home calls to my heart; restless winds blow through my mind, yearning to see what is truly mine. Says Tuka, even if life itself departs, let the devotion I have held reach its fulfillment.

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