gürbesinde kaklığı hurjununda biyadağı joq

/ɡyrbesinde kaklɯʁɯ xurdʒununda bijadaʁɯ dʒoq/

Literal translation

there is no dried meat in his pot, nothing in his pocket

Said of someone who is poor and without means — having nothing put by and nothing to spend.

Ulan tuwğanına quwanŋanlığına, adetin eterge kesini qarıwu jetalmazlığın tanıb, İslamnı başın awur sağış basdı. Gürbesinde – kaklığı, hurjununda biyadağı joqdu. Kimge barıb, önküç izleyim dep, bügülüb, jerge kirirça bolğandı.Glad as he was that a son had been born to him, Islam's head sank under heavy thoughts once he saw that his own means would not stretch to keeping the custom. In his pot there is no dried meat, in his pocket not a coin. Whom could he go to and ask for a loan — he was bent double, ready to sink into the ground.
