Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
निरोपासी वेचे । काय बोलतां फुकाचें ॥1॥
परी हें नेघेवे चि यश । भेओं नको सुखी आस ॥ध्रु.॥
सुख समाधानें । कोण पाहे देणें घेणें ॥2॥
न लगे निरोपासी मोल । तुका ह्मणे वेचे बोल ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Does sending a message cost anything? Speaking costs nothing. But do not refuse this satisfaction; do not fear, for the hope of happiness remains. When one is content, who cares about debts and dues? A message costs nothing; Says Tuka, it spends only words.

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