કુંડળીઓ-કૌઠી મિલે ન લાગ ખીન, હજર કરો હજર,

kuṁḍaḷīō-kauṭhī milē na lāga khīna, hajara karō hajara,

Literally: Nothing is obtained without luck, do effort, do effort.
What it means: Destiny dictates outcomes despite human exertion.
The English proverb Shah set beside it: There is no flying from luck.No help for misluck.The more I try, the more I am off.
