Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
कामक्रोध माझे लावियेले पाठीं । बहुत हिंपुटीं जालों देवा ॥1॥
आवरितां तुझे तुज नावरती । थोर वाटे चित्तीं आश्चर्य हें ॥ध्रु.॥
तुझिया विनोदें आह्मां प्राणसाटी । भयभीत पोटीं सदा दुःखी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे माझ्या कपाळाचा गुण । तुला हांसे कोण समर्थासी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Lust and anger have been set upon my trail, O Lord, and I am sorely harassed. Even You cannot rein them in, which fills my heart with wonder. Your sport puts my very life at stake; I remain fearful within and always sorrowful. Says Tuka, it is the mark of my own fate; who can laugh at You, the Almighty?
