બેઠક Bethak

ધન જોબન શું જાયગા, જયસે ઊડત કપૂર;

dhana jōbana śuṁ jāyagā, jayasē ūḍata kapūra;

Literally
Wealth and youth will vanish, just like evaporating camphor.
What it means
Material riches and physical youth are highly fleeting and disappear without leaving a trace, like burning camphor.

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