બેઠક Bethak

સૌએ ગયા ને સાકે આવ્યા.

sauē gayā nē sākē āvyā.

Literally
They went as hundred and came back as a doubt.
What it means
Setting out with arrogant claims only to return defeated and humbled.

Also said as

  • સૌ ભયે સાહાઠ, આધે ગયે નાહાઠ,
  • આધે દંગે, આધે દિલાયંગે, આધેમે ક્યા દેના ક્યા લેના,
  • સૌજા કરે સઠ, હીનને જીવતરેક ભઠ.

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