Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
बैसलों तों कडियेवरी । नव्हें दुरी वेगळा ॥1॥
घडलें हें बहुवा दिसां । आतां इच्छा पुरवीन ॥ध्रु.॥
बहु होता जाला सीण । नाहीं क्षण विसांवा ॥2॥
दुःखी केलें मीतूंपणें । जवळी नेणें होतें तें ॥3॥
पाहात जे होतों वास । ते चि आस पुरविली॥4॥
तुका ह्मणे मायबापा । झणी कोपा विठ्ठला ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have been seated right on Your lap; I am not far away or separate from You. This has come to pass after many, many days; now I shall fulfill my heart's longing. There was so much weariness and suffering, not a moment of rest. The separation of I and You caused such pain; I did not know You were so near. The hope I had been nurturing has at last been fulfilled. Says Tuka, O mother and father, O Vitthal, please do not be angry.
