બેઠક Bethak

માતપિતાએ જે કર્યા, આજ લગી ઉપકાર; લેશ માત્ર સમજે નહીં, મૂર્ખનો સરદાર.

mātapitāē jē karyā, āja lagī upakāra; lēśa mātra samajē nahīṁ, mūrkhanō saradāra.

Literally
The favors that parents have done till today; not understanding them even a bit, the chief of fools.
What it means
Said of an ungrateful child who fails to recognize or appreciate the lifelong sacrifices and favors of their parents.
