Roman English
Dhanai rahyo, manai rahyo.
अर्थ
धन भएर पनि त्यसको सदुपयोग गर्न वा उपभोग गर्न मन नलाग्नु वा अवसर नमिल्नु, जसले गर्दा धन र इच्छा दुवै यथावत रहन्छन्। अर्थात्, साधन भएर पनि इच्छा पूरा नहुने अवस्था।
उदाहरण
श्यामले महँगो गाडी त किन्यो, तर कहिल्यै चलाउने फुर्सद पाएन। उसको त धनै रह्यो, मनै रह्यो भने जस्तै भयो।
Literal English Translation
The wealth itself remained, the mind/desire itself remained.
English Meaning
This proverb describes a situation where one possesses wealth or resources but lacks the inclination, opportunity, or will to use or enjoy them. Consequently, both the wealth and the unfulfilled desire (or the desire itself) persist.
English Proverb
Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink. (This captures the essence of having resources that cannot be utilized to fulfill a need or desire.)
