Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
॥
मराठी मूळ
जन्मा येउनि काय केलें । तुवां मुदल गमाविलें॥1॥
कां रे न फिरसी माघारा । अझुनि तरी फजितखोरा ॥ध्रु.॥
केली गांठोळीची नासी । पुढें भीके चि मागसी ॥2॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Having been born as a human, what have you accomplished? You have squandered your very capital. Why do you not turn back even now, O shameless one? You have destroyed what was tied in your bundle, and now you shall beg from door to door.
