Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
सर्वथा ही खोटा संग । उपजे भंग मनासी ॥1॥
बहु रंगें भरलें जन । संपन्न चि अवगुणी ॥ध्रु.॥
सेविलिया निःकामबुद्धी। मदें शुद्धी सांडवी ॥2॥
त्रासोनियां बोले तुका । आतां लोकां दंडवत ॥3॥ ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The company of the wicked is wholly false; it only breeds disturbance in the mind. The world is full of colorful displays, abundantly endowed with faults. Even serving the desireless, arrogance makes one abandon good sense. Says Tuka, weary of it all, I now bow to the world from a distance.
