Never expected to be trading Hindi aphorisms on Hacker News of all places. Here's one of my favorites from a book full of them I leafed through one time:
दो-एक गाँव में भोज हुआ और कुत्ते की जान हड़बड़ी में ही चली गई।
My attempt at a translation:
'There were feasts in two villages, and in their running back and forth, the dogs died.'
(A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.)
