બેઠક Bethak

ઉતર્યા ગઢ ગિરનાર, તનડું આવ્યું તળાટીએ; વળતાં બીજી વાર, દામા કુંડ નથી દેખવા.

utaryā gaḍha giranāra, tanaḍuṁ āvyuṁ taḷāṭīē; vaḷatāṁ bījī vāra, dāmā kuṁḍa nathī dēkhavā.

Literally
We descended the fort of Girnar, and the body reached the foothills; never again will we see the Damodar Kund;
What it means
Expresses the deep sorrow of leaving one's beloved homeland forever, knowing one can never return.

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