I will be posting Panjabi Proverbs, Muhavare, Sayings etc. They come to mind through the day and may interest others. The proverbs convey something of the language and culture of Panjab, and are also often entertaining! There are sound files included for those who want to listen to these pearls of wisdom!

Vaireh aaee
ਵਿਹੜੇ ਆਈ ਜੰਞ , ਵਿੰਨ੍ਹੋ ਕੁੜੀ ਦੇ ਕੰਨ
Vaireh (compound) aaee (came) janj (wedding party), vinnhau (pierce) kurrhi (girl, here it means bride) de (of) kann (ears).
The wedding party arrives at the bride's house, and the parents pierce the bride's ears to allow her to wear earrings. It means leaving things to the very last moment.
Vaireh aaee
