બેઠક Bethak

હું તુંજ પુછું હે સખી, નેહ કેતા મણુ હોય; લાગે તો લેખે નહીં, ટુટે ટાંક ન હોય.

huṁ tuṁja puchuṁ hē sakhī, nēha kētā maṇu hōya; lāgē tō lēkhē nahīṁ, ṭuṭē ṭāṁka na hōya.

Literally
I ask you, O friend, how many maunds does love weigh? When it is felt, it cannot be measured, and when it breaks, not even a fraction remains.
What it means
True love is immeasurable when it exists, but once it is broken, absolutely nothing of it remains.

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