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!

Sheran
ਸ਼ੇਰਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਬੈਠਕਾਂ , ਗਿਦੱੜ ਕਰਣ ਕਲੋਲ
Sheran (lions) deean (of) baithkhan (meetings or drawing rooms), gidhers (jackals, but here it refers to cowards or unworthy people) kerran kalol (making merry); lions have civilised gatherings, when jackals gather they are brash and brazen.
Meaning: Upright, brave, good folk add dignity, in their absence become more seedy and unseemly.
