બેઠક Bethak

વાઢ્યું ચોટે નહીં, વાધરી વળગી રહેવા દે નહીં.

vāḍhyuṁ cōṭē nahīṁ, vādharī vaḷagī rahēvā dē nahīṁ.

Literally
What is cut does not stick back, and a leather thong will not hold it permanently.
What it means
Said when a fractured relationship or severed bond can never truly be restored to its original state.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · 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.
