Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
सर्व संगीं विट आला । तूं एकला आवडसी ॥1॥
दिली आतां पायीं मिठी । जगजेठी न सोडीं ॥ध्रु.॥
बहु जालों क्षीदक्षीण । येणें सीण तो नासे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे गंगवास । बहु त्या आस स्थळाची ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have grown weary of all company; You alone are dear to me. I have clasped Your feet, O Lord of the world, and I shall not let go. I have become greatly weakened and worn; by this weariness, suffering itself is destroyed. Says Tuka, like one who longs for life by the Ganga, my yearning is for that sacred place alone.

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