Tukaram, Poem 1926

I sit a beggar at Your door, urging my demand,
keeping You from going out or in. I shall
not let you stir; I have found a good opportunity.
How often I have visited your house in time past!
Why, O Narayana, will You not give me back my
own? How long must I quarrel with You?
I have sorely been put to shame. You are un-
ashamed, says Tuka.
