• If the night is to be spent at home, it won't be in the grave, and if in the grave, it won't be at home
  شپه چې په کور وي، په قبر به نه شي؛ او چې په قبر وي، په کور به نه شي
   

• Let not the horseman say, "I shall not become a footman" nor the footman, "I shall not become a horseman."
  سپور دې داسې نه وائي چې پلې به نه شم؛ او پلې دې داسې نه وائي چې سپور به نه شم
  That is, let no man predict his own betterment or debasement, for there is no saying what fate has in store for him.
   

• What God does will take place, nevertheless tie your camel's knee tight
  چې خدائې کوي، هغه به وشي؛ خو د اوښ ګونډه ټينګه وتړه
  So that the camel may not wander or be stolen. Though God disposes all things, man must use his best endeavours to effect what he wants. The proverb is adapted from the Persian, and is a very familiar one amongst all. We say, "God helps them who help themselves."
   

• If retching come on you by destiny, close your teeth on it (i.e., accept it)
  که په نصيب کښۍ درغلې، غاښ پرې ټينګ کړه
  Meaning, be content whatever happens to you.
