Explanation:
The Egyptian proverb describes any unable person especially one whose goal is so much availabe to others, but because of some disability it is not possible for him to reach it.

Example 1:
- John: Oh my God ... what a beautiful car!
- Peter: Do you like it? Buy a similar one!
- John: I hope so but eyes can see but hands can't get.
[I can't afford buying it]

Example 2:
John and Peter are both swimming in the open sea.
- Can you swim to that island.
- No ... It is needs a stronger person ... eyes can see but hands can't get. [I am not powerful enough to do it]
