/baʃɯn qara kyn qɯsarʁa/

Literal translation

for a black day to squeeze one's head

To be left with no way out and to suffer hardship.

Efendi, uyatlı bolub, ne aytırğa bilmegendi. Çabhannı qoyub, aqırın-aqırın atlay, barmaq basar jeri qalmay jibib, başın qara kün qısıb, üyüne küçden jetgendi.The efendi, put to shame, did not know what to say. Giving up running, walking slowly, soaked until there was no dry spot left on him, in utter misery he barely made it home.
