સાપે ચેન ગલી, તે કાઢે તો આંધળો થાય ને ગલે તો મરી જાય.

sāpē cēna galī, tē kāḍhē tō āṁdhaḷō thāya nē galē tō marī jāya.

Literally: The snake has swallowed a chain; if he takes it out he becomes blind, and if he swallows it he dies.
What it means: Being in a situation where any action taken will lead to a negative outcome.
