Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
पावलों पंढरी वैकुंठभवन । धन्य आजि दिन सोनियाचा॥1॥
पावलों पंढरी आनंदगजरें । वाजतील तुरें शंख भेरी ॥ध्रु.॥
पावलों पंढरी क्षेमआलिंगनीं । संत या सज्जनीं निवविलें॥2॥
पावलों पंढरी पार नाहीं सुखा । भेटला हा सखा मायबाप ॥3॥
पावलों पंढरी येरझार खुंटली । माउली वोळली प्रेमपान्हा ॥4॥
पावलों पंढरी आपुलें माहेर । नाहीं संवसार तुका ह्मणे ॥5॥

English Translation
I have reached Pandhari, the abode of Vaikuntha. Blessed is this golden day. I have arrived in Pandhari amid sounds of joy, with trumpets, conches, and drums resounding. I have reached Pandhari and been embraced by saints and holy ones who have soothed my soul. I have reached Pandhari, and there is no end to the bliss, for my beloved friend and parent has been found. I have reached Pandhari, and all wandering has ceased, for the mother has showered her milk of love. Says Tuka, I have reached Pandhari, my true home. There is no more worldly life.
