Literal translation

to turn a mill with one's urine

To be full of conceit and put oneself above everyone else.

Jabrail bütün da biyikge örlerge, kimge da biy bolurğa, qıshası, el aythança, siydigi bla tirmen aylandırırğa küreşgenin körmezge, iynanmazğa süygendi.He preferred not to see, not to believe, that Jabrail was striving to climb still higher, to lord it over everyone — in short, as the village says, to turn a mill with his own urine.
