બેઠક Bethak

ભમરા ભોગી ફૂલડા, કલિ કલિ રસ લેત;

bhamarā bhōgī phūlaḍā, kali kali rasa lēta;

Literally
The bumblebee enjoys the flowers, taking nectar from bud to bud;
What it means
Said of a fickle lover or a libertine who flits from one person to another, seeking pleasure without commitment.

Also said as

  • કાંટા લાગા પ્રેમડા, હેર ફેર છવ દેત.
  • આડે ડુંગર નીચ બન, ખાળે પ્યારે મિત;
  • દેવે બિધાતા પંખડી, ઊડ ઊડ આવું નિત.
