બેઠક Bethak

હમ જાને યે ખાયંગે, બહુત જમી બહુ માલ;

hama jānē yē khāyaṁgē, bahuta jamī bahu māla;

Literally
We think we will enjoy this, much land and much wealth.
What it means
Humans foolishly plan to enjoy their vast wealth and land forever, forgetting that death can take them at any moment.

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