«دَايْرَهْ تْقَاوِي مِنْ غِيرْ تَقَاوِي»

Whoever has no seed has no harvest coming, no matter how loudly they talk. The farming image is figurative: it pictures someone moving among people to display power and plenty while lacking the one essential that could turn that display into something real.

The saying targets an incapable person who puts on airs of ability, laying claim to far more than they can actually manage. Its bite lies in the gap between the showy performance and the missing basic means that would be needed to back it up, whatever the field.

Use it as a sharp jab at someone who brags about what they can do or own while lacking the basic means to deliver. It fits moments when a boast falls apart; aimed at a particular person, it lands as ridicule and can give offense.
