બેઠક Bethak

ક્ષણ ભરનો ભરોસો નથી, કરે કાલની વાત;

kṣaṇa bharanō bharōsō nathī, karē kālanī vāta;

Literally
There is no trust in a single moment, yet they talk of tomorrow.
What it means
It is foolish to make grand plans for the future when human life is so unpredictable and fragile.

Also said as

  • મન ચિતવ્યું મનમાં રહ્યું, કાળે મારી લાત.

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