Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
खोटएाचा विकरा । येथें नव्हे कांच हिरा ॥1॥
काय दावायाचें काम । उगा च वाढवावा श्रम ॥ध्रु.॥
परीक्षकाविण । मिरवों जाणों तें तें हीण ॥2॥
तुका पायां पडे । वाद पुरे हे झगडे॥3॥ ॥2॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
There is no sale for the false here; glass cannot pass for diamond. What is the point of showing off and increasing toil for nothing? To parade without an examiner is to display what is inferior. Says Tuka, I fall at Your feet; enough of these quarrels and disputes.

Raw, unflinching accounts of personal failure, weakness, and the weight of sin.
