धन संपदाची ती नार उभ राहून बोलना
माझ्या कपाळीच कुंकु तिच्या लेण्याला तोलना
dhana sampadācī tī nāra ubha rāhūna bōlanā
mājhyā kapāḷīca kuṅku ticyā lēṇyālā tōlanā

✎ The rich and wealthy woman refuses to stand and talk
The kunku* on my forehead is heavier than all her attire
▷ (धन)(संपदाची)(ती)(नार) standing (राहून) say
▷ My of_forehead kunku (तिच्या)(लेण्याला)(तोलना)

La femme de biens et de richesses se tient debout sans mot dire
Le kumku de mon front pèse bien plus lourd que son décorum.
