બેઠક Bethak

તરે તરણું ને તુંબડું, તરે ગાય ને વહાણ;

tarē taraṇuṁ nē tuṁbaḍuṁ, tarē gāya nē vahāṇa;

Literally
A straw and a gourd float, a cow and a ship float.
What it means
Different things float or survive according to their nature, just as the virtuous are saved while the wicked sink.

Also said as

  • તરે ભાગ્યશાળીનું પુણ્ય, ન તરે પાપી ને પહાણ.

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