Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
काय कृपेविण घालावें सांकडें । नििंश्चती निवाडें कोण्या एका ॥1॥
आहों तैसीं पुढें असों दीनपणें । वेचूनि वचनें करुणेचीं ॥ध्रु.॥
धरूं भय आतां काय वाहों चिंता । काय करूं आतां आप्तपण ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आह्मी भावहीन जीव । ह्मणउनी देव दुरे दुरी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Without Your grace, what pressure can I bring? Let there be a final verdict, one way or another. Let me remain as I am, in all my lowliness, spending only words of compassion. Should I carry fear and worry now? What use is claiming kinship? Says Tuka, we are souls devoid of devotion. That is why God stays far, far away.
