Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
 िस्थरावली वृित्त पांगुळला प्राण । अंतरींची खुण पावूनियां ॥1॥
पुंजाळले नेत्र जाले अधाौन्मीिळत । कंठ सद्गदित रोमांच आले ॥ध्रु.॥
 चित्त चाकाटलें स्वरूपा माझारी । न निघे बाहेरी सुखावलों ॥2॥
 सुनीळ प्रकाश उदैजला दिन । अमृताचें पान जीवनकळा ॥3॥
 शशिसूर्या जाली जीवें ओंवाळणी । आनंदा दाटली आनंदाची ॥4॥
 तुका ह्मणे सुखें प्रेमासी डुलत । वीरालों नििंश्चत नििंश्चतीनें ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The mind's activity has stilled; the breath has grown quiet, having received the inner sign. The eyes have grown luminous and half-closed; the throat is choked with emotion, and the hair stands on end. The mind is stunned, absorbed within the true form; it does not come back out, for it has found its joy. A deep blue radiance has dawned; the nectar of the life-force flows. The sun and moon have been offered as oblation to the soul; bliss is brimming over with bliss. Says Tuka, swaying happily in love, I rest in perfect and certain peace.
