બેઠક Bethak

પ્રીતિ અસીલસેં હોત હય, સગસેં નીભે ન પ્રીત;

prīti asīlasēṁ hōta haya, sagasēṁ nībhē na prīta;

Literally
Love happens with the noble-born; love does not endure with a dog.
What it means
True friendship can only be maintained with honorable people, not with the base or untrustworthy.

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
