Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
संसाराचें धांवे वेठी । आवडी पोटीं केवढी ॥1॥
हागों जातां दगड सांची । अंतरीं ही संकल्प ॥ध्रु.॥
लाज तेवढी नारायणीं। वांकडी वाणी पोरांपें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे बेशरमा । श्रमावरी पडिभरू॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Look how eagerly one runs on worldly errands, with such great devotion to the mundane. Even while attending to nature's call, one hoards stones and harbors worldly schemes. Shame is felt only before Narayana, while harsh words come easily before the children. Says Tuka, O shameless one, you pile toil upon toil.
