બેઠક Bethak

સરે નહીં, સીજે નહીં ને ખાટે બેઠા ખીજે,

sarē nahīṁ, sījē nahīṁ nē khāṭē bēṭhā khījē,

Literally
It does not move forward, it does not succeed, and sitting on the bed he gets angry.
What it means
Said of an idle, incompetent person who does nothing to help but constantly complains and gets angry.

Also said as

  • સરું ન આવ્યું શીંદરા.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1923) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

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