Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
कांहीं च न लगे आदि अवसान । बहुत कठीण दिसतसां ॥1॥
अवघ्याच माझ्या वेचविल्या शHी । न चलेसी युिH जाली पुढें ॥ध्रु.॥
बोलिलें वचन हारपलें नभीं । उतरलों तों उभीं आहों तैसीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे कांहीं न करावेंसें जालें । थकित चि ठेलें वित्त उगें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Nothing seems to matter, neither beginning nor end. You appear most unyielding. I have spent all my powers, and no strategy avails me any longer. My spoken words have vanished into the sky; I remain standing just where I started. Says Tuka, nothing more can be done. The mind sits stunned and silent.

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