دنیا میں بولی جانے والی ہر زبان میں کچھ ایسے جملے یا الفاظ ضروررائج ہوتےہیں ،جن کا استعمال گفتگو یا تحریر میں نہ صرف دل چسپی پیدا کرتا ہے، بلکہ مقصدِ بیان بھی واضح کردیتا ہے۔ اُردو زبان میں ایسے جملوں کو ’’محاورے ‘‘ کہا جاتا ہے۔ اہلِ زبان کے مطابق محاورے دو یا دو سے زیادہ الفاظ کا ایسا مجموعہ ہے، جو اپنے حقیقی یا لغوی معنی کے برعکس اصلاحی یا تمثیلی معنی میں استعمال ہو۔
محاوروں کا خالق کون ہے اور یہ کیسے وجود میں آئے، اس کا حتمی اندازہ لگانا، تو ممکن نہیں، مگریہ کہا جاسکتا ہے کہ ان کے پیچھے کوئی تجربہ، مشاہدہ یا دل چسپ کہانی ضرور پوشیدہ ہوتی ہےاور ان کہانیوں میں دانائی کا کوئی ایسا پہلو ضرور ملتا ہے، جو رہنمائی و اصلاح کا سبب بنتا ہے۔ محاوروں کی ایک اور خوبی یہ بھی ہے کہ یہ زبان زدِعام ہوتے ہیں اوراہلِ علم کے علاوہ عام لوگ بھی ان سے بخوبی واقف ہوتے ہیں۔ اُردو زبان میں رائج محاورے دل چسپ ہونے کے ساتھ نصیحت آموز بھی ہیں۔ان میں سے کچھ محاوروںکے پیچھے پوشیدہ کہانیاںزیرِ نظر مضمون میں پیش کی جارہی ہیں۔
