બેઠક Bethak

બહેત ગઈ અબ થોડી રહી, નારાયણ અબ ચેત;

bahēta gaī aba thōḍī rahī, nārāyaṇa aba cēta;

Literally
Much has passed, now only a little remains; O man, wake up now.
What it means
Most of your life has already gone by, so use the remaining time wisely to focus on spiritual matters.

  • કાલ ચીરીઆં યુગ રહી, નિશદિન આયુષ ખેત.

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