Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
तुजवीण मज कोण आहे देवा । मुकुंदा केशवा नारायणा ॥1॥
जोडोनियां कर कृपेच्या सागरा । गोपीमनोहरा पांडुरंगा ॥ध्रु.॥
साच करीं हरी आपुली िब्रदावळी । कृपेनें सांभाळीं मायबापा ॥2॥
साहए होसी जरी जाती सहा वैरी । मग ध्यान करीं आवडीनें ॥3॥
सर्व अपराध क्षमा करीं माझा । लडिवाळ तुझा पांडुरंगा ॥4॥
कृपा करोनियां द्यावी क्षमा शांति । तेणें तुझी भिH घडेल देवा ॥5॥
ऐंसें तों सामर्थ्य नाहीं नारायणा । जरी तुज करुणा येइल कांहीं ॥6॥
तुका ह्मणे आतां आपंगावें मज । राखें माझी लाज पांडुरंगा ॥7॥

English Translation
Who do I have besides You, O God? O Mukunda, Keshava, Narayana. With folded hands I pray to You, O ocean of grace, O enchanter of the gopis, O Panduranga. Make Your pledges come true, O Hari. Protect me with Your grace, O my parent. If You come to my aid, the six inner enemies will depart. Then I will meditate on You with love. Forgive all my offenses, O Panduranga. I am Your spoiled child. Grant me mercy, forbearance, and peace, so that devotion to You may truly blossom, O God. Such strength is not in me, O Narayana. Only if some compassion stirs in You can it come to be. Says Tuka, embrace me now. Guard my honor, O Panduranga.
