«اِلْبَقَّهْ تِوْلِدْ مِيَّهْ، وِتْقُولْ: يَا قِلِّةِ الدِّرِّيَّهْ»

The saying mocks someone who laments having too little despite already possessing an abundance. It portrays the complaint as exaggerated, contrasting an alleged lack with the plenty that is already visible.

It can also condemn insatiable desire, when nothing seems enough despite ample means. Its deliberately derisive image targets complaints judged disproportionate to visible abundance, not every expression of dissatisfaction or genuine hardship.

Use it to rebuke repeated complaints of scarcity when someone plainly has ample resources, advantages, or possessions. Because the image is harsh and mocking, avoid directing it at people whose needs or hardship may be real.
