Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
नामाचा महिमा बोलिलों उत्कर्ष । अंगा कांहीं रस न ये चि तो ॥1॥
कैसें समाधान राहे पांडुरंगा । न लगे चि अंगा आणी कांहीं ॥ध्रु.॥
लाभाचिये अंगीं सोस कवतुकें । फिक्याचें तें फिकें वेवसाव ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे करा आपुला महिमा । नका जाऊं धर्मावरि माझ्या ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have extolled the greatness of the Name, but no trace of that essence has entered my own being. How can there be contentment, O Panduranga, when nothing touches me within? Where there is true gain, the seeking is a delight. But a diluted effort yields only a diluted result. Says Tuka, display Your own greatness. Do not rest Your reputation upon my weak devotion.

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