Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
उपासा सेवटीं अन्नासवें भेटी । तैसी माझी मिठी पडो पायीं ॥1॥
पुरवीं वासना साच सर्वजाणा । आह्मां नारायणा अंकिताची ॥ध्रु.॥
बहुदिसां पुत्रामातेमध्यें भेटीं । तैसा दाटो पोटीं प्रीतिउभोड ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे धन कृपणा सोयरें । यापरि दुसरें नहो आतां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Like the meeting of food after a long fast, let my embrace fall upon Your feet. Fulfill the longing of one who is truly Yours, O all-knowing Narayana. Like the meeting of a mother and child after long separation, let a flood of love swell in my heart. Says Tuka, as wealth is dear to a miser, let there be no other attachment from now on.

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