ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૬:૨
ભટકતી ચકલી અને ઊડતા અબાબીલ પક્ષીની માફક, વિનાકારણે આપેલો શાપ કોઈને માથે લાગતો નથી.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २६:२
जैसे गौरैया घूमते-घूमते और शूपाबेनी उड़ते-उड़ते नहीं बैठती, वैसे ही व्यर्थ श्राप नहीं पड़ता।

In context

1Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.

2Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.

3A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools!

4Don’t answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.
