બેઠક Bethak

હંસ બગલા એક રંગ, ચલે સમુદ્રકું સાથ;

haṁsa bagalā ēka raṁga, calē samudrakuṁ sātha;

Literally
The swan and the heron are of the same color, and they walk to the ocean together.
What it means
People may look identical on the outside and walk the same path, but their inner nature and desires remain completely different.

  • બગલા મારે માછલી, હંસ મુક્તાફલ ખાય.
