ထန္းပလက္ နတ္ရုပ္ထင္
Mistake a palmyra leaf stalk for an angelic figure.

ဥပါဒါန္ေၾကာင့္ ဥပါဒ္ေရာက္
Fixation on superstitious fears bring on their realization.

ခံဆူးခံခၽြန္၊ ဆီးဆူးဆီးခၽြန္
The caraunda and jujube trees sharpen their thorns themselves.

အရိုးကို အရြက္မဖံုးေစႏွင့္
Do not let the leaf hide the stalk.

ၾကက္မွာအရိုး လူမွာအမ်ဳိး
A fighting cock has its pedigree and man his ancestry.
