Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
कोरडिया गोष्टी नावडती मना । नाहीं ब्रह्मYाानाविण चाड ॥1॥
दाखवीं आपुलें सगुण रूपडें । वंदीन मी कोडें पाय तुझे ॥ध्रु.॥
न लगे तो मोक्ष मज सायुज्यता । नावडे हे वार्ता शून्याकारी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे चाड धरीन श्रीमुखें । येशिल कवतुकें जवळीक ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Dry, empty talk does not please the mind. Without the direct knowledge of Brahman, I have no interest. Show me Your form in its fullness; I will bow at Your feet with delight. I do not want mere liberation or formless union. The talk of the void does not appeal to me. Says Tuka, I will be satisfied only when You come near me with playful affection, and I behold Your face.

Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
