બેઠક Bethak

બેસતા રાજ, આવતા મેહ, ને આવતી વહુ, વગર વિચારે વાહવાહ કરે સૌ.

bēsatā rāja, āvatā mēha, nē āvatī vahu, vagara vicārē vāhavāha karē sau.

Literally
A new reign, incoming rain, and an incoming bride—everyone praises them without thinking.
What it means
People enthusiastically welcome new beginnings before knowing whether they will turn out well or poorly.
