Mallah da hukka

ਮੱਲਾਹ ਦਾ ਹੁੱਕਾ ਸੁੱਕਾ
Mallah (boatman) da hukka (smoking pipe) sukka (dry); the boatman's smoking pipe is dry.

A boatman, who is surrounded by water, nevertheless has a dry smoking pipe (that of course, is filled with water). A bit like saying a doctor will not care for his own health, a plumber his pipes etc.
