• The heart is a unique thing when it becomes vexed; it is not a sheep to be slaughtered.
  زړه خو يو دې چې ملال شي، پسه نه دې چې حلال شي

  A man's affections are not to be trifled with; he is not like a sheep which you may slaughter and make an end of.
   

• The man who knows you eats you; the dog who knows you does not
  سړې چې د وپيژني اوبه دې خوري، او سپي چې دې وپيژني، نه به دې خوري

  Many a false friend will live on you, eat you out of your house and home; but a dog, unclean though he may be, is faithful to you to the last.
   

• A bear's friendship is to scratch and tear
  د ايژ دوستي څيرول دي

   

• In friendship the composite bracelet always breaks
  په ياري کښۍ تل څولي ماتېږي
  The 'Tsulai' is a cheap and very brittle bracelet, made up, I believe of clay and wax, and consequently easily broken. The meaning is, that friends must expect to make small sacrifices for each other.
   

• Would you look after yourself, cherish your friend; consider him not less than your brother
  ځان ته ګوره، ملګري ژغوره، کم ئې مه بوله له وروره
   

• Though you are an infidel, you are my liver
  که ته کافر ئې، ځما څګر ئې
  The liver here is the centre of affections. Religious differences do not interfere with true friendship.
   

• Two will become friends, if a third do not come between.
  دوه به سره خپل شي، که درېم په مينځ کښۍ نه وي
   

• A friend wishes you well in body, a brother in property (to which he hopes to succeed some day)
  يار دې د سر خير غواړي، او ورور به دې د مال
   

• At a public entertainment even may your friend be present
  په پنډه کښۍ دې هم سجنړ اوسه
  That is, at an entertainment open to all, to which the poorest and meanest go, may you find a friend for a friend is good under all circumstances.
   

• Every one is a dear friend in prosperity (literally "a good day")
  هر څوک په ښې ورځې کښۍ دوست دې
