The Google Translate: The wall has rats and rats have ears.

Moosh means mice not rats but otherwise correct. This is a Persian idiom that we learned in my Farsi classes.

Mice are considered cute in the culture ("my mouse mouse" is a term of endearment) but I don't think that changes the meaning substantially.
