Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
कृष्ण माझी माता कृष्ण माझा पिता । बहिणी बंधु चुलता कृष्ण माझा ॥१॥
कृष्ण माझा गुरू कृष्ण माझें तारूं । उतरी पैल पारू भवनदीची ॥ध्रु.॥
कृष्ण माझें मन कृष्ण माझें जन । सोइरा सज्जन कृष्ण माझा ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे माझा श्रीकृष्ण विसावा । वाटे न करावा परता जीवा ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Krishna is my mother, Krishna is my father; Krishna is my sister, brother, and uncle. Krishna is my guru, Krishna is my boat that ferries me across the river of worldly existence. Krishna is my mind, Krishna is my people; Krishna is my true friend and companion. Says Tuka, Sri Krishna is my rest and refuge; I never wish to turn my soul away from him.
