Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
चित्त घेऊनियां तू काय देसी । ऐसें मजपासीं सांग आधीं ॥1॥
तरि च पंढरिराया करिन साटोवाटी । नेघें जया तुटी येइऩल तें ॥ध्रु.॥
रििद्धसििद्ध कांहीं दाविसी अभिळास । नाहीं मज आस मुHीची ही ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे तुझें माझें घडे तर । भHीचा भाव रे देणें घेणें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
If You take my heart, tell me first what You will give in return. Only then, O Lord of Pandhari, will I make this exchange; I will not accept a deal that leads to loss. If You dangle riches and powers before me, know that I have no desire even for liberation. Says Tuka, if a true bond is to form between You and me, let devotion be the only currency of giving and receiving.
