Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
दुडीवरी दुडी । चाले मोकळी गुजरी ॥1॥
ध्यान लागो ऐसें हरी । तुझे चरणीं तैशापरी ॥ध्रु.॥
आवंतण्याची आस । जैसी लागे दुर्बळासी ॥2॥
लोभ्या कळांतराची आस । बोटें मोजी दिवस मास ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे पंढरीनाथा । मजला आणिक नको व्यथा ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Just as one copper coin follows another and trade flows freely, may my meditation upon Your feet, O Hari, flow with the same steady ease. Just as a poor man waits eagerly for an invitation to a feast, and a greedy man counts the days and months until his interest comes due: let my longing for You be like that. Says Tuka, O Lord of Pandhari, give me no further affliction.

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