બેઠક Bethak

સાજનું ભાંગ્યું કરે, નખ્ખોદ કામ કરનાર; નવરા જે બેસી રહે, મૂર્ખનો સરદાર.

sājanuṁ bhāṁgyuṁ karē, nakhkhōda kāma karanāra; navarā jē bēsī rahē, mūrkhanō saradāra.

Literally
Breaking what is made, doing destructive work; those who sit idle, the chief of fools.
What it means
Said of a lazy and destructive person who ruins good work and remains idle instead of being productive.
