Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
॥
मराठी मूळ
उभा ऐल थडी । तेणें घालूं नये उडी ॥1॥
पुढें गेल्याचे उपाय । करावे ते केले काय ।ध्रु.॥
दिसतें आहारीं । नये जाऊं ऐशावरी ॥2॥
अळसाची धाडी ॥ तुका ह्मणे बहु नाडी॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Just because one stands on this bank does not mean one should leap into the water. What good does it do to attempt remedies after the moment has passed? Do not be drawn in by everything that appears inviting. Says Tuka, the assault of laziness has led many astray.
