બેઠક Bethak

સાસુ નહીં, નણંદ નહીં, આપે એકલાં આનંદ.

sāsu nahīṁ, naṇaṁda nahīṁ, āpē ēkalāṁ ānaṁda.

Literally
No mother-in-law, no sister-in-law, she herself is in solitary bliss.
What it means
Living alone without interfering relatives brings peace and happiness.
The English proverb Shah set beside it
Better alone than in bad company.
