પરદેશમાં ખરચી ખુટે, તે મધ દરિયે વહાણ તુટે.

paradēśamāṁ kharacī khuṭē, tē madha dariyē vahāṇa tuṭē.

Literally: Running out of money in a foreign land is like a ship breaking in the middle of the ocean.
What it means: Running out of funds while traveling abroad leaves a person completely helpless and stranded.
The English proverb Shah set beside it: When the purse is empty, the ship is wrecked in mid-ocean.
