qabırından qurtla çöplemezge

/qabɯrɯndan qurtla tʃøplemezɡe/

Literal translation

not to pick worms from someone's grave

To feel resentment toward someone who withheld a kindness in life, on the grounds that the dead can do nothing for the living afterwards.

«Allah bermegenŋe ne eterikbiz? Kimni sabiyi kimni qabırından qurt çöpleydi?» – degenni aytıb, Deboş qulaq salmağandı.Saying, "What can we do for one to whom God has given nothing? Whose child picks worms from whose grave?", Debosh paid no heed.
