Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
 पावलों हा देह कागतालिन्यायें । न घडे उपायें घडों आलें ॥1॥
 आतां माझीं खंडीं देह देहांतरें । अभय दातारें देऊनियां॥ध्रु.॥
 अंधऑयाचे पाठीं धनाची चरवी । अघटित तेंवि घडों आलें ॥2॥
 तुका ह्मणे योग घडला बरवा । आतां कास देवा न सोडीं मी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I obtained this human body as if by a stroke of luck; what could not happen by design has come to pass. Now, O generous Lord, end my cycle of body after body by granting me fearlessness. Like a blind man finding a purse of gold, this impossible thing has happened. Says Tuka, this fortunate union has occurred. Now I will not let go of Your waist, O God.
