બેઠક Bethak

બીગડી સો સમરે નહીં, ફાટી ખરચા દામ;

bīgaḍī sō samarē nahīṁ, phāṭī kharacā dāma;

Literally
What is ruined is not mended; what is torn costs money.
What it means
Regret cannot undo ruined matters, and repairing damage always demands a price.

  • વામનકા વૈરાટ ભયા, તાખી મીટયો ન નામ.

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