મરતા નથી ને માંચો મૂકતો નથી.

maratā nathī nē māṁcō mūkatō nathī.

Literally: He does not die, nor does he vacate the cot.
What it means: Said of someone who lingers uselessly in a position or condition without making progress or stepping aside.

Also said as

ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet
