Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
तुझिया पाळणा ओढे माझें मन । गेलों विसरोन देहभाव ॥1॥
लागला पालट फेडणें उसणें । येणें चि प्रमाणें पांडुरंगा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे माझा जीव जैसा ओढे । तैसा चि तिकडे पाहिजेल ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
My mind is drawn toward Your cradle, and I have forgotten all sense of the body. The debt must be repaid in return, O Panduranga, in this very manner. Says Tuka, just as my soul yearns for You, so must the same longing come from Your side.

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