意味
Having no money left.
文化的背景
In Punjab, hospitality is paramount. Admitting 'Hath khali hona' is often a humble way to apologize for not being able to host someone as lavishly as one would like. Farmers often use this phrase between sowing and harvest seasons when cash flow is low but assets (crops) are growing. Among students and young professionals in cities like Chandigarh or Ludhiana, this phrase is used humorously to describe 'broke life' before the next allowance or salary. The concept of 'Dasvandh' (giving 10% to charity) is strong. Even when someone says their 'hath khali hai', they might still find a way to contribute to the community 'Langar'.
Use with 'Ajj-kal'
Adding 'Ajj-kal' (these days) makes it sound more like a temporary situation rather than permanent poverty.
Gender Agreement
Remember that 'Hath' is masculine. Even if a woman is speaking, she says 'Mera hath khali hai'.
