الحماره حمارتنا ونركب على الذيل

Ayna  from the englishsabla.com forums provides this Omani proverb:


 الحمارة حمارتنا ونركب على الذيل
(alHamaara Hamaaratna wa narakabu 'ala aldheel)
Literal meaning: The donkey is ours, but we ride on it's tail
Meaning: used when you own something you never get to use, instead other people use it. If you can think of an English equivalent, comment below.
