The verse
माझे मनोरथ पावले सिद्धी । तई पायीं बुद्धि स्थिरावली ॥१॥ समाधान जीव राहिला निश्चळ । गेली हळहळ स्मरण हें ॥ध्रु.॥ त्रिविध तापाचें जालेंसे दहन । सुखावलें मन प्रेमसुखें ॥२॥ महालाभ वाचे वसे पांडुरंग । अंगोअंगीं संग अखंडित ॥३॥ जीवनाचा जाला ओलावा अंतरीं । विश्व विश्वंभरीं सामावलें ॥४॥ तुका म्हणे माप भरी आलें सिगे । धारबोळ गंगे पूर वाहे ॥५॥
Literal translation
English: My manōratha attained siddhi — then buddhi became firm at feet. Samādhāna, jīva stayed niścaḷa — haḷahaḷa gone by this smaraṇa. Tri-vidha tāpa burnt — manā happily-rested by prēma-sukha. Mahā-lābha — Pāṇḍuranga dwells in vācā — every limb in unbroken sanga. Jīvana's ōlāvā happened in the antara — viśva merged in Viśvambhara. Tuka says: the māpa came to brim-full — like dhāra-bōḷa in Gangā, a pūra flows.

What it means
Total-fulfillment abhang. A fulfillment-celebration; one of Tuka's most overflowing-positive abhangs. Each verse marks a different fulfillment-domain:
(1) manōratha-pāvalē-siddhi — pāyīm buddhi sthirāvalī — desires fulfilled; buddhi firm at feet. (= goal-domain: heart-desires reached, intellect anchored.)
(2) samādhāna jīva niścaḷa — gēlī haḷahaḷa smaraṇa — peace, jīva unmoving; restlessness gone by this remembrance. (= life-domain: jīva at rest.)
(3) tri-vidha tāpa-dahana — sukhāvalēm mana prēma-sukha — three-fold heat burnt; mind rested by prema-sukha. The three-fold tāpa (= ādhyātmika [self-caused], ādhibhautika [other-caused], ādhidaivika [god/fate-caused]) — all three burnt. (= suffering-domain: cleared.)
(4) mahā-lābha vācē vasē Pāṇḍuranga — angō-angīm sanga akhaṇḍita — great gain, Pāṇḍuranga dwells in speech; every limb in unbroken companionship. (= speech-and-body-domain: pervaded.)
(5) jīvanācā ōlāvā antarīm — viśva Viśvambharīm sāmāvalēm — life-moisture in the interior; cosmos merged in Viśvambhara. The cosmic-merger: viśva (the cosmos) sāmāvalēm (= merged into) Viśvambhara (the cosmos-supporter). (= cosmic-domain: unified.) Pairs with 1407's no-ōla in dry-talk; here the ōlāvā fills the antara.
The closing measure-image: māpa bharī ālēm sigē — dhāra-bōḷa Gangē pūra vāhē — the māpa (measure-vessel) — has come to brim-full (sigē); — like dhāra-bōḷa (stream-call) — in Gangā — a pūra (flood) — flows. The grain-measure-overflowing image (sigē = the rim-of-the-grain-vessel that the merchant strikes off when the buyer is paying full) — the bhakta's measure has come to that brim — and the bhakti-pūra in the Gangā keeps flowing. (Compare 1470's sigē-māpa-bhara — the same merchant-grain-measure image. Dhāra-bōḷa — the call-of-the-stream; the Gangā is calling the flood / running in stream-form.)
