Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
विठ्ठल माझा जीव विठ्ठल माझा भाव । कुळधर्म देव विठ्ठल माझा ॥1॥
विठ्ठल माझा गुरु विठ्ठल माझा तारूं । उतरील पारु भवनदीचा ॥ध्रु.॥
विठ्ठल माझी माता विठ्ठल माझा पिता । विठ्ठल चुलता बहिणी बंधु ॥2॥
विठ्ठल हे जन विठ्ठल माझें मन। सोयरा सज्जन विठ्ठल माझा ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे माझा विठ्ठल विसावा। नश्वरित गांवा जाइन त्याच्या ॥4॥

Vitthal is my mother, Vitthal is my father, Vitthal is my uncle, my sister, my brother. Vitthal is my people, Vitthal is my mind, Vitthal is my truest companion. Says Tuka, Vitthal is my resting place; I shall go to His imperishable abode.
