ભાઈ હો કે ભતરીજો
સાદ પાડે ‘શેઠ, લીજો!’
— Jhaverchand Meghani
Meaning
Whether it's a brother or nephew, they call out, 'Sir, take it!'
Explanation
This couplet humorously points out how business or transactions can sometimes override personal relationships. It says, 'Whether he's your brother or your nephew, he'll still call out "Sir, take it!"' This paints a picture of a vendor or someone trying to sell something, who, despite being a close relative, addresses you formally as 'Seth' or 'Sir' to make a sale. It reminds us that in certain situations, like commerce, the professional role takes precedence over familial ties, often with a hint of irony or a smile.
