Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
बैसलोंसे दारीं । धरणें कोंडोनि भिकारी ॥1॥
आतां कोठें हालों नेदीं । बरी सांपडली संदी ॥ध्रु.॥
किती वेरझारा । मागें घातलीया घरा ॥2॥
माझें मज नारायणा । देतां ां रे नये मना॥3॥
भांडावें तें किती । बहु सोसिली फजिती ॥4॥
तुका ह्मणे नाहीं । लाज तुझे अंगीं कांहीं ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have sat down at Your door like a beggar staging a sit-in. Now I will not let You move from here; I have caught the right moment. How many rounds have I made to this house before? Give me what is mine, O Narayana; does it not trouble Your conscience to withhold it? How much longer must I argue? I have endured enough humiliation. Says Tuka, there is not an ounce of shame in You.

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