બેઠક Bethak

બહેત ગઈ થોડી રહી, વ્યાકુળ મન મત હોય;

bahēta gaī thōḍī rahī, vyākuḷa mana mata hōya;

Literally
Much of life has passed and only a little remains, do not let your mind become anxious.
What it means
Advise to remain calm and patient in the later stages of life or a task, rather than losing one's composure.

Also said as

  • ધીરજ સબકા મિત્ર હૈ, કરી કમાઈ મત ખોય.

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