Marathi Text
मऊ मेणाहून आम्ही विष्णूदास | कठीण वज्रास भेदू ऐसे ||१||
मेले जीत असो निजोनिया जागे | जो जो जे जे मागे ते ते देऊ ||२||
भले
तरी देऊ कासेची लंगोटी | नाठाळाची माथी हाणू काठी ||३||
मायबापाहुनी बहु मायावंत | करू घातपात शत्रूहूनी ||४||
अमृत ते काय गोड आम्हा पुढे | विष ते बापुडे कडू किती ||५||
तुका म्हणे आम्ही अवघेचि गोड | ज्याची पुरे कोड त्याचे परी ||६||
Roman Script
1. Maoo menaahoon aamhee Vishnudaas, kathin vajraas bhedu aise
2. Mele jeet aso nijoniya jaage, jo jo je je maage te te deu
3. Bhale taree deu kaasechee langotee, naathaalaachee maathee haanu kaathee
4. Maayabaapaahunee bahu maayaavant, karu ghaatapaat shatruhoonee
5. Amrut te kaay goad aamha pudhe, vish te baapude kadoo kitee
6. Tuka mhane aamhee avaghechi goad, jyaachee pure kod tyaache paree.
Translation
1. We ‘Vishnudas’ (servants of Vishnu) are softer than wax and at the same time we are so hard that we can break even the hardest weapon called ‘vajra’.
2. We are dead from the materialistic point of view, but we are awake spiritually. Whatever people ask for, we will give that to them.
3. To those who are good we will give away, even the inner most undergarment (Meaning, there is nothing that we will refuse to give them). But for the troublesome and harassing people we will hit them with a stick on their head.
4. We are more loving than even parents. However, if there is a need, we can carry out destruction more severe than our enemies also.
5. The sweetness of elixir is nothing in front of us. The bitterness of poison looks like nothing in front of us.
6. Tuka says, we are sweet from all sides, in all ways. Whatever may be the desire of a person, we will fulfil it in that manner.
