Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
स्वप्नींचें हें धन हातीं ना पदरीं । प्रत्यक्ष कां हरि होऊं नये ॥1॥
बोलोनियां फेडा जीवींची काजळी । पाहेन कोमळीं चरणांबुजें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे माझ्या जीवींचिया जीवा । सारूनियां ठेवा पडदा आतां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The wealth of a dream is neither in the hand nor in the pocket. Why can You not become directly present, O Hari? Speak and wipe away the darkness from my heart. Let me behold Your tender lotus feet. Says Tuka, O life of my life, now draw aside the curtain and put away all that is stored.

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