બેઠક Bethak

દેહ ધરેકા ફલ એહી, દેહ દેહ કુછ દેહ;

dēha dharēkā phala ēhī, dēha dēha kucha dēha;

Literally
This is the fruit of having a body: give, give, give something;
What it means
The true purpose of human life is to practice charity and help others before the physical body perishes.

Also said as

  • દેહ એહ હો જાયગી, ષીર કોન કહેગા દેહ.

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