Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
॥
मराठी मूळ
चाकरीवांचून । खाणें अनुचित वेतन ॥1॥
धणी काढोनियां निजा । करील ये कामाची पूजा ॥ध्रु.॥
उचितावेगळें । अभिलाषें तोंड काळें ॥2॥
सांगे तरी तुका । पाहा लाज नाहीं लोकां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
To eat wages without rendering service is improper. The master will dismiss such a one and honor the work that is truly done. To desire beyond what is fitting only blackens one's face. Says Tuka, look, the people have no shame at all.
