• The medicine for asking is giving
  د غوښتو دارو ور کړه دي
  A Spanish proverb runs, "When a friend asketh, there is no to-morrow"
   

• If you would keep friendship for your friend, don't regard his faults.
  چې له يار سره ياري لرې، عيب ته ئې مه ګوره
  Cassius spoke similarly to Brutus in Julius Caesar - A friend should bear a friends' infirmities.
   

• The friend appears in hard times, not at big dinners
  دوست په تنګسه کښۍ څرګندېږي، نه په خورنه کښۍ
  In most languages there are similar proverbs: thus in English we have "A friend in need is a friend indeed."
   

• When there was an earthquake, you would not give me the staff, now give it to your mother.
  چه زلزله وه ټنډئي دې رانه کړه، اوس ئې خپلې مور ته ور کړه
  This was the reply of a man to a false friend who had refused him the loan of a stick when he required it, and afterwards, when it was no longer wanted, pressed it on to him. It is now generally applied to friends who fail in the hour of need.
   

• Bear witness for God's sake, use a stick for a friend's
  ويل دې خدائ ده پاره کوه، او لوړ د يار د پاره وهه
   

• In what is fitting between you and me, What matters distance or propinquity?
  چې ځما اوستا بائده دي لرې او نژدي څه دي؟
   

• It is well to have your ass tethered, if you have a thief for a friend
  خپل خر تړلې ښه دې، که غل آشنا هم وي
   

• A friend will cause you to weep, an enemy to laugh
  خپل به دې ژړوي، او دښمن به دې خندوي
  That is, a true friend will always tell you your faults, an enemy will flatter you.
   

• Don't say O Brother! to him who is not (the son) of your mother
  چې نه دې وي له موره، داسې مه وايه چې وروره
   

• I will be your sacrifice, when free from business.
  هاله به در څاريږم، چې له چارې وزګارېږم
  That is, "Business first, friendship afterwards."
