Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
पापाची मी राशी । सेवाचोर पायांपाशीं ॥1॥
करा दंड नारायणा । माझ्या मनाची खंडणा ॥ध्रु.॥
जना हातीं सेवा । घेतों लंडपणें देवा ॥2॥
तुझा ना संसार । तुका दोहींकडे चोर ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I am a heap of sin, a thief of devotion lingering at Your feet. Punish me, O Narayana, and break the willfulness of my mind. I take credit for service that was done by others, taking it lazily, O God. I belong neither to You nor to the world. Says Tuka, I am a cheat on both sides.
