Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
निदऩयासी तुह्मी करितां दंडण । तुमचें गाहाणें कोठें द्यावें ॥1॥
भाकितों करुणा ऐकती कान ।उगलें चि मौन्य धरिलें ऐसें ॥ध्रु.॥
दीनपणें पाहें पाय भिडावोनि । मंजुळा वचनीं विनवीतसें॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे गांठी मनाची उकला । काय जी विठ्ठला पाहातसां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
You punish the innocent, and to whom shall I take my complaint against You? I cry out for mercy; my ears hear, but You maintain a stony silence. I gaze at Your feet with humility, and I entreat You in gentle words. Says Tuka, untie the knot of Your heart. What are You waiting for, O Vitthal?

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