બેઠક Bethak

કભુક મેવા મિસરીકી અજીરન હોત,

kabhuka mēvā misarīkī ajīrana hōta,

What it means
Left blank on purpose. The scan is damaged here and the words are not certain enough to translate — English written over a guess would hide the guess rather than fix it. The Gujarati above is what could be read.
The English proverb Shah set beside it
Sadness and gladness succeed each other.There are ups and downs in life.After joy comes sorrow.He who swells in prosperity will shrink in adversity.

  • કભુક મુઠીભર ચુનગો ના લહીએં,
  • કભુક આપદાર, ભીર ભઈ ભીખારનકી,
  • કભુક આપ જઈ પરદાર રહીએ;
  • હારીએ ન હિંમત, ખીસારીએ ન હર નામ,
  • જાહી બીધી રાખે રામ, તાહી બીધ રહીએ.

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