બેઠક Bethak

આવ નહીં, આદર નહીં, નહીં નેનમાં નેહ;

āva nahīṁ, ādara nahīṁ, nahīṁ nēnamāṁ nēha;

Literally
No welcome, no respect, no affection in the eyes; do not go to that house, even if gold rains.
What it means
Never visit a place where you are not wanted, regardless of the potential material gain.

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
