Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
दाटे कंठ लागे डोिळयां पाझर । गुणाची अपार वृिष्ट वरी ॥1॥
तेणें सुखें छंदें घेइऩन सोंहळा । होऊनि निराळा पापपुण्यां॥ध्रु.॥
तुझ्या मोहें पडो मागील विसर । आलापें सुस्वर करिन कंठ ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे येथें पाहिजे सौरस । तुह्मांविण रस गोड नव्हे॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
My throat chokes and tears stream from my eyes; an endless rain of Your virtues pours from above. In that joy and devotion, I shall take my celebration, having become free of both sin and merit. May Your enchantment make me forget all that came before. I shall make my throat sing sweetly in melodious verse. Says Tuka, what I need here is intimacy. Without You, no sweetness is truly sweet.
