Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
कांहीं बोलिलों बोबडें । मायबापा तुह्मांपुढें । सलगी लाडें कोडें । मज क्षमा करावी ॥1॥
काय जाणावा महिमा । तुमचा म्यां पुरुषोत्तमा । आवडीनें सीमा । सांडविली मज हातीं ॥ध्रु.॥
घडे अवYाा सख्यत्वें । बाळें बापासी न भ्यावें । काय म्यां सांगावें । आहे ठावें तुह्मासी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे देवा । प्रेम लोभ न संडावा । पािळला पाळावा । लळा पुढती आगळा ॥3॥
बहु भितों जाणपणा । आड न यो नारायणा ।
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have spoken some stammering words before You, O Mother and Father. Forgive my bold and childish familiarity. How could I ever know Your greatness, O Supreme Being? In my eagerness, I overstepped all bounds. In the freedom of friendship, a child does not fear its father; what shall I tell You that You do not already know? Says Tuka, O God, do not abandon this love and tenderness; the affection You have nurtured, nurture it ever more.
