Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
कां माझे पंढरी न देखती डोळे । काय हें न कळे पाप यांचें ॥1॥
पाय पंथें कां हे न चलती वाट । कोण हें अदृष्ट कर्म बळी ॥ध्रु.॥
कां हें पायांवरी न पडे मस्तक । क्षेम कां हस्तक न पवती ॥2॥
कां या इंिद्रयांची न पुरे वासना । पवित्र होइऩना जिव्हा कीर्ती ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे कइप जाऊनि मोटळें । पडेन हा लोळें महाद्वारीं ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Why do my eyes not see Pandhari? What sin of mine conceals it? Why do my feet not walk that sacred path? What unseen karma overpowers me? Why does my head not fall at those feet? Why do my hands not reach out in greeting? Why is the longing of my senses not fulfilled? Why does my tongue not become pure with praise? Says Tuka, when will I go and cast myself prostrate at the great gate?

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