Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
म्हणवितों दास । मज एवढी च आस ॥१॥
परी ते अंगीं नाहीं वर्म । करीं आपुला तूं धर्म ॥ध्रु.॥
बडबडितों तोंडें । रितें भावेंविण धेंडें ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे बरा । दावूं जाणतों पसारा ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I wish to be called your servant; that is my only desire. But I lack the true quality within me, so please fulfill your own nature, O Lord. My mouth babbles on, but without genuine feeling it is an empty vessel. Says Tuka, I am good at making a show, nothing more.
