لا تشكُ للناس جرحاً أنت صاحِبُهُ * لا يؤلم الجرحُ إلا من به ألمُ

[HotIcyDonut]

Is there an idiomatic translation for the following saying?

لا تشكُ للناس جرحاً أنت صاحِبُهُ * لا يؤلم الجرحُ إلا من به ألمُ

If I understand the meaning right, it means that if you feel pain on your own, it won't really matter if you're wounded.

شكراً مقدماً

 

[Abbe]

Don't complain about your wound to someone else, a wound doesn't hurt anyone except the one in pain.

Let's wait for a better translation

 

[WadiH]

It's a cynical verse that says you're wasting your time telling others about your own pain because nobody will truly feel or care for you.

 

[rarabara]

I understand something like this (not idiomatic) : "Do not doubt for folks with pain, you are the owner of it (it: masculine), the pain does not give harm except with the ones who has that pain"

heeeey , I am feeling myself happier for being able to understand a piece of it rather than being able to respond your question well or absolutely.

"Do not doubt

I think you misread the word تشك as tashuk (to doubt) but it is tashku (to complain).
I know it’s hard to guess the correct reading without vowel markers but context usually helps and also knowing which preposition is used with which verb. For example, the verb يَشُك yashukk (to doubt) is followed by the preposition في, but يشكو is either followed with إلى (to complain to) or no preposition when we mean (complain from) يشكو المرض، يشكو الفقر although the preposition مِن is also sometimes used for this meaning يشكو من المرض.

Is there an idiomatic translation for the following saying?

What do you need the translation for?
Are you looking for an equivalent proverb/saying (if one exists)? Something that sounds poetic? Something that just expresses the meaning in everyday language?

This.

There's Proverbs 14:10 from the Bible:

Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy. (NIV)

However, this doesn't have the cynical tone described by @WadiH.

(By the way, the most common Russian version seems to be "Сердце знает свою беду, и радости его чужой не разделит.")
