آدي السما و آدي الأرض

آدي السما  و آدي الأرض

(adee el sama w adee el ard)

Literal meaning: Here is the sky, and here is the earth.

Meaning:  You can look all you want, but what you want doesn't exist.

It is an Egyptian proverb said to people who ask for something impossible, a little like "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride."
