Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
आजिचिया लाभें ब्रह्मांड ठेंगणें । सुखी जालें मन कल्पवेना ॥1॥
आर्तभूत माझा जीव जयांसाटीं । त्यांच्या जाल्या भेटी पायांसवें ॥ध्रु.॥
वाटुली पाहातां सिणले नयन । बहु होतें मन आर्तभूत ॥2॥
माझ्या निरोपाचें आणिलें उत्तर । होइल समाचार सांगती तो ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे भेटी निवारला ताप । फळलें संकल्प संत आले ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Today's gain makes the universe seem small; the mind overflows with a joy beyond reckoning. Those for whom my soul burned with longing, their feet have come to meet me. My eyes were weary from watching the road, and my heart was desperate. They have brought the answer to my message; now I will hear the full account. Says Tuka, the fever of separation is cured by the meeting; the saints have arrived, and my prayers are fulfilled.
