બેઠક Bethak

હર દિલ્લે રોજગાર, હર બાહાને મોત,

hara dillē rōjagāra, hara bāhānē mōta,

Literally
A livelihood in every heart, death by every excuse.
What it means
Everyone finds a way to earn a living, just as death finds any pretext to strike.

Also said as

  • હલકી ગાધલી આગળ દોડે.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

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