çıraq bla izleseŋ da, tapmazğa

/tʃɯraq bla izleseŋ da, tapmazʁa/

Literal translation

not to find even if you search with a lamp

To be encountered only very rarely; to be next to impossible to come across.

Alay a allay elde, çıraq alıb izleseŋ da, sanlap bir tabıllıqdı jalqaw, tilçi, ötürükçü adam.But in such a village, even if you took a lamp and searched, you would find only the odd one — a loafer, an informer, a liar.
Bitew bu tiyrede, Azretça usta ötürük aythan adam çıraq bla izleseŋ da tabılmaz, – dep, Nanaş jürekden küldü."In this whole neighbourhood you could search with a lamp and still not find anyone as skilled at lying as Azret," Nanash said, and laughed heartily.
