«اِلْحَقِّ اللِّي وَرَاهْ مِطَالِبْ مَا يْمُوتْشْ»

A claim stays alive only while someone actively pursues it. Here ḥaqq means a right or something owed, not abstract truth. As long as a person keeps demanding what is owed, the right cannot be erased, however long the delay or however strong the resistance.

The saying also warns against giving up a claim simply because enforcement is slow or difficult. A person who persists in pursuing what is owed keeps the demand alive, while a right nobody asks for may be neglected. Its point is perseverance, not a formal promise of legal success.

Use it to encourage someone not to give up on a debt, inheritance, wage, or other entitlement that has been delayed or denied, reminding them that steady pursuit keeps the claim alive. It suits moments of discouragement rather than formal legal argument.
