Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
॥
मराठी मूळ
काय करूं जीव होतो कासावीस । कोंडलिये दिस गमे चि ना ॥1॥
पडिलें हें दिसे ब्रह्मांड चि वोस । दाटोनि उच्छ्वास राहातसे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आगा सर्वजाणतिया । विश्वंभरें काया निववावी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
What can I do? My life is suffocating; these imprisoned days feel unending. The entire universe appears empty and desolate; my very breath feels choked. Says Tuka, O all-knowing One, O Lord of the Universe, cool this burning body.
