દેખતી આંખે આંધળા થઇ કુવામાં પડવું, ને નસીબના વાંક કહાડવા.

dēkhatī āṁkhē āṁdhaḷā thai kuvāmāṁ paḍavuṁ, nē nasībanā vāṁka kahāḍavā.

Literally: To fall into a well with open eyes pretending to be blind, and then blame fate.
What it means: Said of people who recklessly cause their own ruin and blame bad luck rather than their own stupidity.
The English proverb Shah set beside it: Look before you leap.
