Education / Pedagogy | | English term or phrase: "qabar ka haal to murda janta hai" | | "qabar ka haal to murda janta hai" traslate into english. |
| | | Urdu translation:Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches. | Explanation:
I think that it is a somewhat equivalent proverb. It is often difficult to find an equivalent idiom or proverb in a different language due to the cultural and linguistic differences between them.
Its basic meaning is:
He who suffers, knows the pain.
And it can be translated literally as:
Only the corpse knows what is going on in grave.
I believe that you should preferably replace this saying with the English proverb mentioned above as it will retain its beauty and the impact and magnitude of expression.
