- Literally
- The one I keep under my armpit turns out to be the enemy; sandalwood weeps with heavy sighs, saying 'no one is my relative.'
- What it means
- Those whom we protect and keep closest to us are often the ones who betray us.
Also said as
- જબ લગ બાકી અવધ હૈ, પહોંચ્યો નહીં કરાર;
- તબ લગ તાકુ માફ હૈ, ગુન્હા કરે હજાર.
