Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
न गमेसी जाली दिवसरजनी । राहिलों लाजोनि नो बोलावें ॥1॥
रुचिविण काय शब्द वाया माप । अनादरें कोप येत असे ॥ध्रु.॥
आपुलिया रडे आपुलें चि मन । दाटे समाधान पावतसें॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे तुह्मी असा जी जाणते । काय करूं रिते वादावाद ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Days and nights have become unbearable. I have stayed silent out of shame, not daring to speak. Without relish, words are mere empty measures; disregard brings anger. The heart weeps to itself, and is choked even as it tries to find peace. Says Tuka, you are the knowing ones. Why should I engage in fruitless arguments?

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