Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
 निजसेजेची अंतुरी । पादलिया कोण मारी ॥1॥
 तैसा आह्मासी उबगतां । तुका विनवितो संतां ॥ध्रु.॥
 मूल मांडीवरी हागलें । तें बा कोणे रें त्यागिलें ॥2॥
 दासी कामासी चुकली । ते बा कोणें रें विकली ॥3॥
 पांडुरंगाचा तुका पापी । संतसाहें काळासि दापी ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Who beats the bedsheet for soiling the master's bed? In the same way, Says Tuka, I appeal to the saints not to grow weary of us. Does any mother abandon a child that has soiled her lap? Does anyone sell a servant woman for one mistake? Tuka, sinful though he is, belongs to Panduranga, and with the saints' support he can frighten even Death.
