Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
कळों येतें वर्म । तरी न पवतों श्रम ॥1॥
तुह्मां शिरीं होता भार । आह्मां कैचा संचार ॥ध्रु.॥
होतें अभयदान । तरी िस्थर होतें मन ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे पाहें । ऐसी वाट उभा आहे ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
If I knew the secret, I would not suffer this toil. When the burden was on Your head, how could I have any interference? If You had given the assurance of fearlessness, then my mind would have been steady. Says Tuka, look, I stand here waiting on the path.

Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
