રાંડ કુભારજા, મેલે સાળા, રાત અંધારી, ને ગળદીઆ કાળા; સીમાડે ખેતર, પગે પાળા, દુઃખ કેને કહું કંથેરાંનાં જાળાં

Literally
A bad wife, dirty brothers-in-law, a dark night, and black clouds; a field on the border, traveling on foot, to whom shall I tell my grief of these thorny bushes?
What it means
A list of miserable circumstances that make a person's life completely wretched and unbearable.
