બેઠક Bethak

હુકનો માલ જવાનો નહીં, અહુકનો આવવાનો નહીં.

hukanō māla javānō nahīṁ, ahukanō āvavānō nahīṁ.

Literally
Rightful property will not be lost, and unrightful property will not come.
What it means
Honest earnings are secure and lasting, whereas ill-gotten wealth never truly benefits anyone.
