لڑنا اور بھاگنا دونوں آدھے پیٹ ہو سکتے ہیں
Fighting and running away can both be done on an empty stomach, or more idiomatically, both fighting and fleeing are possible even when one is hungry or lacking full resources. The sentence لڑنا اور بھاگنا دونوں آدھے پیٹ ہو سکتے ہیں is a proverbial or aphoristic statement. لڑنا (larna) means to fight, to combat, to struggle. اور (aur) means and. بھاگنا (bhagna) means to run away, to flee, to escape. دونوں (donon) means both. آدھے (aadhe) is the oblique form of آدھا (aadha), meaning half. پیٹ (peit) means stomach. ہو سکتے ہیں (ho sakte hain) means can happen or can be done. The literal translation is "Fighting and running away can both be done on half a stomach." The proverb means that neither fighting nor fleeing requires a full stomach; both are possible even when one is hungry or has limited resources. The proverb is often used to encourage action despite constraints, or to criticize someone who makes excuses about not being ready. It can also be interpreted as a commentary on human nature: whether you choose to fight or to flee, you can do so without waiting for ideal conditions. The sentence is philosophical, practical, and slightly humorous. It is used in everyday speech, in motivational contexts, and in Urdu literature.
