The verse
हें चि माझें तप हें चि माझें दान । हें चि अनुष्ठान नाम तुझें ॥१॥
हें चि माझें तीर्थ हें चि माझें व्रत । सत्य हें सुकृत नाम तुझें ॥ध्रु.॥
हा चि माझा धर्म हें चि माझें कर्म । हा चि नित्यनेम नाम तुझें ॥२॥
हा चि माझा योग हा चि माझा यज्ञ । हें चि जपध्यान नाम तुझें ॥३॥
हें चि माझें ज्ञान श्रवण मनन । हें चि निजध्यासन नाम तुझे ॥४॥
हा चि कुळाचार हा चि कुळधर्म । हा चि नित्यनेम नाम तुझें ॥५॥
हा माझा आचार हा माझा विचार । हा माझा निर्धार नाम तुझें ॥६॥
तुका म्हणे दुजें सांगायासि नाहीं । नामेंविण कांहीं धनवित्त ॥७॥
