Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
स्मरणाचे वेळे । व्हावें सावध न कळे ॥1॥
पडिलों विषयांचे ओढीं । कोणी न दिसेसें काढी ॥ध्रु.॥
भांडवल माझें । वेच जालें भूमी ओझें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे कळे । तूं चि धावें ऐसें वेळे॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
At the moment of remembrance, one should be alert, yet I do not know how. I have fallen into the pull of sense-pleasures, and I see no one who will pull me out. My capital is spent; it has become a useless burden upon the earth. Says Tuka, I know that only You can rush to my aid at such a time.
