Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
 जालों जीवासी उदार । त्यासी काय भीडभार ॥1॥
 करीन आडक्या घोंगडें । उभें बाजारीं उघडें ॥ध्रु.॥
 जोंजों धरिली भीड । तोंतों बहु केली चीड ॥2॥
 तुका ह्मणे मूळ । तुझें उच्चारीन कुळ ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have become generous with my very life. What care I for courtesy? I shall lay it all bare in the open marketplace for everyone to see. The more I showed restraint, the more they caused me grief. Says Tuka, I shall proclaim your lineage from the root.
