Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
॥
मराठी मूळ
जैसें तैसें बाळ मातेसी आवडे । बोलतां बोबडे शब्द गोड ॥1॥
आपुले आवडी लेववी खाववी । पाहोनियां जीवीं सुख वाटे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे काय देऊं परिहार । काय ते साचार जाणतसें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
A mother loves her child just as it is. Its babbling words are sweet to her ears. She feeds it and adorns it as she pleases, and watching it brings her joy. Says Tuka, what return can I offer? I truly know nothing of real value.
