બેઠક Bethak

આવન અક્ષર મેં પડા, નન્ના અક્ષર સાર; દદાર્કું જતું નહીં, લલા અક્ષર પ્યાર.

āvana akṣara mēṁ paḍā, nannā akṣara sāra; dadārkuṁ jatuṁ nahīṁ, lalā akṣara pyāra.

What it means
Left blank on purpose. The scan is damaged here and the words are not certain enough to translate — English written over a guess would hide the guess rather than fix it. The Gujarati above is what could be read.

Also said as

  • One refusal prevents hundred reproaches.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1923) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · awaiting its meaning

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