A2 Proverb フォーマル

جس کا کام اسی کو ساجھے

جس کا کام اسی کو ساجھے

Stick to your job

意味

One should do what they are expert in.

🌍

文化的背景

In Pakistan, this proverb is often used to criticize political appointments where a person with no background in a field (like health or education) is made the minister of that department. Historically, the 'Ustads' (masters) of crafts like Zardozi (embroidery) or music used this phrase to maintain the exclusivity of their art and discourage 'copycats'. In modern South Asian offices, it's used to advocate for 'SME' (Subject Matter Experts) and to prevent 'micromanagement' by bosses who don't understand technical details. In rural areas, the full version with 'dhenga baaje' is still common, emphasizing that failure in someone else's job leads to public embarrassment.

🎯

Use it as a 'Mic Drop'

This proverb is best used at the end of an explanation to settle an argument about who should do a task.

⚠️

Don't modernize the verb

Never say 'sajta hai' instead of 'saajhe' in the proverb, or it will lose its idiomatic power.
