Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
॥
मराठी मूळ
रंगीं रंगें रे श्रीरंगे । काय भुललासी पतंगें ॥1॥
शरीर जायांचें ठेवणें । धरिसी अभिळास झणें ॥ध्रु.॥
नव्हे तुझा हा परिवार । द्रव्य दारा क्षणभंगुर ॥2॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
O soul, be dyed in the color of Shrirang. Why are you infatuated like a moth drawn to flame? This body is only a temporary deposit; do not hold undue desire for it. Your family, wealth, and spouse are not truly yours; they are all fleeting.
