Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
संवसारतापें तापलों मी देवा । करितां या सेवा कुटुंबाची ॥१॥
म्हणऊनी तुझे आठविले पाय । ये वो माझे माय पांडुरंगे ॥ध्रु.॥
बहुतां जन्मींचा जालों भारवाही । सुटिजे हें नाहीं वर्म ठावें ॥२॥
वेढियेलों चोरीं अंतर्बाह्यात्कारीं । कणव न करी कोणी माझी ॥३॥
बहु पांगविलों बहु नागविलों । बहु दिवस जालों कासाविस ॥४॥
तुका म्हणे आतां धांव घाली वेगीं । ब्रीद तुझें जगीं दीननाथा ॥५॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I am scorched, O God, by the fire of worldly life, worn out from serving this household. And so I have remembered Your feet; come to me, O my mother Panduranga. Through countless births I have been a beast of burden, yet the secret of release remains unknown to me. Thieves have surrounded me inside and out, and no one shows me any mercy. I have been scattered in every direction, stripped bare, and tormented for so many days. Says Tuka, rush to me now, O Lord of the lowly; your name in the world is the refuge of the helpless.
