બેઠક Bethak

બેશરમની બલા દૂર, ખાવે જુતીઆં વાધે નૂર.

bēśaramanī balā dūra, khāvē jutīāṁ vādhē nūra.

Literally
The shameless person's misfortune is far away; he eats shoe-beatings and his luster increases.
What it means
A shameless person is unaffected by insults or punishment and continues to thrive regardless of disgrace.
