બેઠક Bethak

સુખમેં પીછે પડ રહે, દુઃખમેં આગું હોય.

sukhamēṁ pīchē paḍa rahē, duḥkhamēṁ āguṁ hōya.

Literally
Who stays behind in times of happiness, and comes forward in times of misery.
What it means
A true friend remains in the background during your prosperity but stands at the forefront to help during your adversity.
