બેઠક Bethak

પરદેશીની દોસ્તી, ને ખડની તાપણી.

paradēśīnī dōstī, nē khaḍanī tāpaṇī.

Literally
Friendship with a foreigner is like a fire of dry grass.
What it means
Friendships formed with strangers or outsiders are short-lived and vanish as quickly as straw burns.
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
