બેઠક Bethak

તાવને તેડું નહીં. તાવને કાણુ સાંઈ લે?

tāvanē tēḍuṁ nahīṁ. tāvanē kāṇu sāṁī lē?

Literally
There is no invitation for fever. Who would welcome fever?
What it means
Misfortunes, illnesses, and troubles always arrive without warning or invitation.

Also said as

  • તાવ હાથીનાં હાડ ભાંગી નાખે.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1923) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

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