Where are you dear friends?
It is not bad to say story of every proverb .
what do you think?
Ok… OK!
Let me solve this problem please!
Gul is also an English word too!
It is a noun which means:
1. a large octagonal design derived from the shape of a rose, a motif on Oriental rugs.
2. a flower, especially a rose.
Gul has come from Persian which means Flower.
