માગ્યા વગર મા પણ ન પીરસે.

māgyā vagara mā paṇa na pīrasē.

Literally: Without asking, even a mother does not serve.
What it means: One must express their needs to receive help.
The English proverb Shah set beside it: Unreasonable silence is folly.He who spares to speak, does spare to speed.A closed mouth catches no mice.A dumb man never gets land.
