[B]Praday kat da nimay shpay v.[/B]

Borrowed Garments are temporary.

Da yao laas na praq na kheeje ( urdu = Taali aik hath sai nahe bajtee)

[B]It takes two to tango[/B]

A bird in hand is worth than two in the bush

A bit in the morning is better than nothing all day

A black hen lays a white egg

A blind man is no judge of colors

A blot is no blot until it be hit

A blunt wedge will do it where sometimes a sharp axe will not

A bribe will enter without knocking

A book is a friend that never deceives

A boaster and a liar are cousins

A brave reatreat is a brave exploit په خپل لاس کې لږې د بل په لاس کې د ډېرو نه ښې دي

د نشت نه لږ هم ښه

د ښو نه ښه زېږي د بدو نه واښه

خر د خید په خوراک څه پېږي

عیب چې تر څو پټ وي عیب نه دی

کوم کار چې په پسته کېږي هغه په سختۍ نه کېږي (چې په ګوړه مري زهرو ته یې څه حاجت؟)

رشوت هر چیرته لاره وباسي

کتاب تر ټولو ښه ملګری دی

لافزن او درواغجن د اکا زامن دي

د مېړانې شکست هم بهادري ده

A bad head and a little coit Translation - Pushto
د بدو به بد مومې

چې څنګه تیږه هغسې یې کربوړی

ناپوهه اشپز خپلې ګوتې څټي

هره ښځه درخانۍ ده چې مېړه یې ادم خان وي

چې زړه بد نو طبیعت هم بد

د بدۍ مرګ چرته؟

د بدو انجام بد

عقل د کم عقلو نه زده کېږي

خپلې خبرې نه تښتېدل د پښتون کار نه دی

دړۍ سر او چیټاکۍ عقل
