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!

Ghorrah firrai
ਘੋੜਾ ਫਿਰੇ ਗਰਾਂ ਗਰਾਂ, ਜਿਸਦਾ ਘੋੜਾ ਉਸਦਾ ਨਾਂ
Ghorrah (horse) firrai (roaming) gran gran (village to village), jis da (whose) ghorrah (horse) oss da (his) na (name). When a horse roams from village to village he is known by his owner's name.
Meaning, a child is known by its father's name (so and so's child), and the reputation of father and child are interdependent.
