Marathi is a beautiful and expressive language spoken mainly in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Marathi poetry has a rich history and tradition, with poets like Tukaram, Namdeo Dhasal, and Arun Kolatkar contributing to its development.
Here are a few Marathi poetry:
"Mi savitri, tyache pati" by Bahinabai Chaudhari
जोरा जोरींचा विवाह केला
माझं नाव घेतलं, त्याचं नाव घेतलं
मी सावित्री, त्याचं पती सात्वती
Translation:
I got married to my husband
I took his name and he took mine
I am Savitri, he is Satyavati
"Meech Bhoomi" by Namdeo Dhasal
मीच भूमी, मीच जल
मीच हवा, मीच आकाश
माझा नेत्र, माझा ब्रह्मांड
माझी नाव मराठी
Translation:
This land is mine, this water is mine
This air is mine, this sky is mine
My eyes are my universe
My name is Marathi
"Dheema Zala Re" by Kusumagraj
धीमा झालं रे, भावांचा वाहा
तुझ्याशी जळतंय दोन जीवा
दोन जीवांचं जीवन साथ होऊनी
एक जातंय एकटं, माझं मनाचं नाही
Translation:
Slowly flows the stream of emotions
Two lives merge with you
Living together, as one
My heart and mind are not the same
