Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
राजस सुकुमार मदनाचा पुतळा । रविशशिकळा लोपलिया ॥१॥
कस्तुरीमळवट चंदनाची उटी । रुळे माळ कंठीं वैजयंती ॥ध्रु.॥
मुगुट कुंडले श्रीमुख शोभलें । सुखाचें ओतलें सकळ ही ॥२॥
कासे सोनसळा पांघरे पाटोळा । घननीळ सांवळा बाइयानो ॥३॥
सकळ ही तुम्ही व्हा गे एकीसवा । तुका म्हणे जीवा धीर नाहीं ॥४॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
He is royal, delicate, a statue fashioned by the god of love, dimming the splendor of the sun and moon. A musk-mark on the brow, a paste of sandalwood on the body, and the Vaijayanti garland swaying at his throat. His crown and earrings adorn a luminous face; he is joy poured into form. A golden silk at the waist, a rich shawl upon the shoulders, and his complexion dark as a rain cloud, O women. Says Tuka, gather together, all of you, for my heart can bear this beauty no longer.
