બેઠક Bethak

બુંદ-કાફી—કફ કટન વાયુ હરન, ધાતુ ક્ષય બલહીન; લોહકા પાની કરે, દો ગુન અવગુન તીન.

buṁda-kāphī—kapha kaṭana vāyu harana, dhātu kṣaya balahīna; lōhakā pānī karē, dō guna avaguna tīna.

Literally
Coffee drops—cuts phlegm, removes wind, reduces vitality and causes weakness; makes water of iron, two virtues and three vices.
What it means
Excessive coffee consumption offers minor relief from cold and wind but causes greater harm to bodily strength.
