Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
आयुष्य गेलें वांयांविण । थोर झाली नागवण ॥1॥
आतां धांवें धांवें तरी । काय पाहातोसि हरी ॥ध्रु.॥
माझे तुझे या चि गती । दिवस गेले तोंडीं माती ॥2॥
मन वाव घेऊं नेदी । बुडवूं पाहे भवनदी ॥3॥
पडिला विषयाचा घाला । तेणें नागविलें मला ॥4॥
शरण आलों आतां धांवें । तुका ह्मणे मज पावें ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
My life has been wasted in vain; I have been grievously deceived. Now hurry, hurry, O Hari. What are You waiting for? Both You and I share this fate: the days have passed and dust fills our mouths. The mind will not let me come up for air; it seeks to drown me in the river of worldly existence. The assault of sense-pleasures has struck, and by them I have been stripped bare. I have come now as a refugee. Says Tuka, rush to me and save me.
