Religion

To Thy Dear Feet!

by Tukaram 1608–1649

Translated by Nicol Macnicol (1919) · From Psalms of Maratha Saints (1919)

Religion

To thy dear feet my love I bind:
No other longing stirs my mind.

I think of thee through days and nights,
And so discharge my holy rites.

Nought know I but thy name alone: —
Thus to myself myself am known.

When comes at last the hour of death
O save me, save me, Tuka saith.
