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!

Kookher kheh
ਕੁੱਕੜ ਖੇਹ ਉਡਾਈ , ਆਪਣੇ ਝਾਟੇ ਪਾਈ
Kookker (rooster) kheh (dust) oordhaee (spread in the air) aapnai (his own)
jhatai (dishevelled hair) paaee (put).
When a rooster raises dust from the ground, the dust goes in its own hair. Meaning when a person disrespects others, behaves in an unseemly or shameful way, his actions reflect and damage himself.
