ما يحَكّ للحَيّ لَذّ مِن يده

A Libyan proverb from dormirdebout.wordpress.com

ما يحَكّ للحَيّ لَذّ مِن يده

Literal meaning: Nothing can scratch your itch but your own hand.
 Meaning: No one will do your job or look after your interests. I think this is similar to the English proverb "God helps those who help themselves'.

رجل بلا حيلة كما تفق بلا فتيلة

Another Omani proverb from Ayna on the englishsabla.com forums.


رجل بلا حيلة كما تفق بلا فتيلة
(rajul bila heela kama tafeq bila feteela)
Literal meaning: A man without a plan, is like a gun without a bullet.
Meaning:Used when coming across people that can't think for themselves, or have plans for themselves.
