Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
येइल तुझ्या नामा । जाल ह्मणों पुरुषोत्तमा ॥1॥
धीर राहिलों धरूनि । त्रास उपजला मनीं ॥ध्रु.॥
जगा कथा नांव। निराशेनें नुपजे भाव ॥2॥
तुह्मी साक्षी कीं गा । तुका ह्मणे पांडुरंगा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I thought that when Your name came to my lips, I would call You Purushottama. I have waited with patience, but vexation has arisen in my mind. The world hears only the story and the name; where there is no hope, no faith is born. Says Tuka, are You not a witness to all this, O Panduranga?

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