Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
कळलें माझा तुज नव्हे रे आठव । काय काज जीव ठेवूं आतां ॥1॥
तूं काय करिसी माझिया संचिता । धिग हे अनंता जालें जिणें ॥ध्रु.॥
पतितपावन राहिलों या आशा । आइकोनि ठसा कीर्ती तुझी ॥2॥
आतां कोण करी माझा अंगीकार । कळलें निष्ठ जालासी तूं ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे माझी मांडिली निरास । करितों जीवा नास तुजसाटीं ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I see now that You have no thought of me. What use then is it to keep this life? What will You do with my accumulated fate? Cursed is this living, O Ananta. I stayed on, hoping in Your reputation as the Redeemer of the fallen, having heard the fame of Your glory. Now who will accept me? I see that You have become heartless. Says Tuka, I am driven to despair. I will give up my very life for Your sake.

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