Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
तुज केलिया नव्हे ऐसें काइऩ । डोंगराची राइऩ क्षणमात्रें॥1॥
मज या लोकांचा न साहे आघात । देखणें प्रचित जीव घेती ॥ध्रु.॥
सहज विनोदें बोलियेलों गोष्टी । अरंभी तों पोटीं न धरावी ॥2॥
दीनरूप मज करावें नेणता । याहुनी अनंता आहें तैसा ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे जेणें मज तूं भोगसी । तें करीं जनासीं चाड नाहीं ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Is there anything that is impossible for You? You could reduce a mountain to mustard in an instant. I cannot endure the assaults of these people; their very gaze takes my life. I spoke these words in simple jest; do not hold them against me. Regard me as lowly, as ignorant, even more so than I already am. Says Tuka, do whatever pleases You with me. I have no need for what the world thinks.
