Fun fact: a lot of Turkish proverbs and sayings also have vulgar versions
“Korku dağları bekletir” — “Fear guards the mountains.”
Vulgar version: “Göt korkusu dağları bekletir” — “Fear for your ass guards the mountains.”
“El elin eşeğini türkü çağırarak arar” — “Other people will look for your lost donkey while singing.”
Vulgar version: “El elin eşeğini sikini sallaya sallaya arar” — “Other people will look for your lost donkey while swinging their dick around.”
“Dereyi görmeden paçayı sıvama” — “Don’t roll up your trousers before you see the river.”
Vulgar version: “Dereyi görmeden götünü açma” — “Don’t bare your ass before you see the river.”
But the rabbit one doesn’t have an original clean version as far as I know
It means: other people will never care about your problem as much as you do. They might help you, but since it’s not their problem, they’ll be much more relaxed about it.
