Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
काय विनवावें कोणें तो निवाड । केलें माझ्या कोड वचनाचें ॥1॥
आहो कृपनिधी गुणांच्या निधाना । माझ्या अनुमाना नये चि हें ॥ध्रु.॥
बहुत करुणा केलेंसे भासेन । एक ही वचन नाहीं आलें ॥2॥
माझी कांहीं सेवा होइऩल पावली । नििंश्चती मानिली होती ऐसी ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे माझी उरली ते आटी । अभय कर कटी न देखें चि ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
How shall I plead, and who will decide? You have fulfilled my heart's desire through Your word. O treasury of mercy, O storehouse of virtues, this is beyond my power to comprehend. Though I have pleaded at great length, not a single word of Yours has come in return. Perhaps some service of mine has reached You, and the certainty I held has been acknowledged. Says Tuka, my only anguish remains: I have not yet seen the hand of assurance at Your waist.
