Tukaram, Poem 1844

What once has been saved from the fire may soon be caught by the fire again; carry it away, O Hari, far from here; to the further shore of the stream.
Let me hear that you have lifted it up, even now, while I am yet in the world.
Tuka stands silent, far from mankind, for he dreads them.
