/kesi awanasɯndan kesi qorqurʁa/

Literal translation

to be afraid oneself of one's own shadow

To be so fearful that one takes fright at nothing at all, living quietly and doing no one any harm.

Ol atlı ne iş bla qayrı barğanın, ne muratı bolğanın anı bla bir nietli bir qawum adamdan sora kişi bilirin süymegeni sebepli, ol tögerekge saq edi, adamğa tübegen uğay, ol kesi awanasından qorqa edi.Since that rider wanted no one but a small circle of like-minded people to know what business he was riding on or what he intended, he was wary of everything around him; far from meeting anyone, he was afraid of his own shadow.
