Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
नागवूनि एकें नागवीं च केली । फिरोनियां आलीं नाहीं येथें ॥1॥
भेणें सुती कोणी न घेती पालवीं । करूनियां गोवी निसंतान ॥ध्रु.॥
एकें तीं गोविलीं घेऊनि जमान । हांसतील जन लोक तयां ॥2॥
सरले तयांसी घाली वैकुंठीं । न सोडी हे साटी जीवें जाली ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे जालों जाणोनि नेणती । सांपडलों हातीं याचे आह्मी ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Having been stripped bare by one, I was left with nothing; no one returns to this place after that. Out of fear, no one takes me under their wing; He has made me destitute and childless. Some He trapped by taking surety from them; the world laughs at those souls. Those who surrendered, He sent to Vaikuntha; this bond was sealed with their very lives. Says Tuka, we pretended not to know, yet we fell into His hands all the same.
