Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
आश्चर्य तें एक जालें । मना आलें माझिया ॥1॥
मढएापाशीं करुणा केली । तैसी गेली वृथा हे ॥ध्रु.॥
न यावा तो कैसा राग । खोटें मग देखोनि ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे कैंचा बोला । शोध विठ्ठला माझिया ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
One strange thing has come to my mind. I pleaded with a lifeless idol, and my plea went in vain. How can one not feel anger upon seeing such falsehood? Says Tuka, where are Your words, O Vitthal? Search my depths and answer me.

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