Better Late ,,,,,,,

[ghanashyam]

There is this some good saying in English, " Better late than never" which can be translated in Hindi as

"देर आयद दुरुस्त आयद " but on state highway they would put another message " Kabhi nahi the deri bhali"

Which is more correct?

Kabhi nahi se der bhali is the literal translation while the former is a hindi saying which incidentally has the same meaning as the English one. "देर आयद दुरुस्त आयद" is thus in no way connected to "Better late than never" from a historical point of view but conveys the same meaning. So, "kabhi nahi se der bhali" is the correct translation.

'Der aaye durust aaye' doesn't means 'Better late than never'. They are two different sayings.

I think they can be used interchangeably even though they aren't literal translations of each other.
