Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
कोणापाशीं आतां सांगों मी बोभाट । कधीं खटखट सरेल हे ॥1॥
कोणां आराणूक होइऩल कोणे काळीं । आपुलालीं जाळीं उगवूनि ॥ध्रु.॥
माझा येणें दुःखें फुटतसे प्राण । न कळतां जन सुखी असे ॥2॥
भोगा आधीं मनें मानिलासे त्रास । पाहें लपायास ठाव कोठें ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे देतों देवाचें गाहाणें । माझें रिण येणें सोसियेलें ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
To whom shall I cry out now? When will this constant turmoil end? When will there be relief for anyone, each entangled in their own net? My life-breath is bursting with this anguish, while people who do not perceive it live in comfort. Even before the suffering arrives, my mind dreads it; I look for a place to hide. Says Tuka, I am pledging God's own word; my debt has been borne by Him.

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