તનખા હોય તો તોડીએ, પ્રીત ન તોડી જાય; કાગજ હોય તો બાંચ લેઊ, કર્મ ન બાંચ્યા જાય.

tanakhā hōya tō tōḍīē, prīta na tōḍī jāya; kāgaja hōya tō bāṁca lēū, karma na bāṁcyā jāya.

Literally: If it were a straw, we could break it, but love cannot be broken; if it were paper, I could read it, but fate cannot be read.
What it means: Unlike physical objects that can be broken or written words that can be read, love is unbreakable and one's destiny remains unreadable.
