Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
 आणीक नका करूं चेष्टा । व्हाल कष्टा वरपडी॥1॥
 सुखें करा हरिकथा । सर्वथा हे तारील ॥ध्रु.॥
 अनाथाचा नाथ देव। अनुभव सत्य हा ॥2॥
 तुका ह्मणे बहुतां रिती । धरा चित्तीं सकळ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Do not make useless efforts elsewhere; you will only fall into misery. Happily engage in the story of Hari; it will certainly carry you across. God is the Lord of the helpless; this truth is proven by experience. Says Tuka, in many ways, hold this firmly in your heart.
