This expression alludes to the bell rung at the end of a boxing round, which, if it rings before a knocked-down boxer has been counted out, lets him get up and continue fighting in the next round. Its figurative use dates from the mid-1900s." As such اتفاقی واقعہ is nowhere in the picture; however, difficulty is very much in the picture, and difficulty is covered in the expression "سے انہیں تحفظ نصیب ہوا" |
