Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
जगीं मान्य केलें हा तुझा देकार । कीं कांहीं विचार आहे पुढें ॥1॥
करितों कवित्व जोडितों अक्षरें । येणें काय पुरें जालें माझें ॥ध्रु.॥
तोंवरि हे माझी न सरे करकर । जो नव्हे विचार तुझ्या मुखें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे तुज पुंडलिकाची आण । जरी कांहीं वचन करिसी मज ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The world has accepted my words; is this Your doing, or is there some plan behind it? I compose verses and string together syllables, but has that truly fulfilled my purpose? This inner turmoil of mine will not cease until You Yourself speak through me. Says Tuka, I place You under oath by Pundalik: speak some word to me.
