Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
वांजा गाइऩ दुभती । देवा ऐसी तुझी ख्याति ॥1॥
ऐसें मागत नाहीं तुज । चरण दाखवावे मज ॥ध्रु.॥
चातक पाखरूं। त्यासी वर्षे मेघधारु ॥ ॥
पक्षी राजहंस । अमोलिक मोतीं त्यास॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे देवा । कां गा खोचलासी जीवा ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
You are renowned for making even a barren cow yield milk, O God. Yet I do not ask that much of You; only show me Your feet. The rain-cloud pours down water for the chataka bird. The royal swan receives priceless pearls. Says Tuka, O God, why have You pierced my soul and yet remain hidden?

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