Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
तुह्मां होइऩल देवा पडिला विसर । आह्मीं तें उत्तर यत्न केलें ॥1॥
पतितपावन ब्रीदें मिरविसी । याचा काय देसी झाडा सांग ॥ध्रु.॥
आहाच मी नव्हें अर्थाचें भुकेलें । भलत्या एका बोलें वारेन त्या ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे देह देइऩन सांडणें । सहित अभिमानें ओवाळूनि ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Perhaps You have forgotten, O God. We have tried our best with every word. You parade the title Redeemer of the Fallen. Now give an account of it. I am not hungry for wealth. A single word from You will satisfy me. Says Tuka, I shall offer up this body and all its pride as an oblation.

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