«اِللِّي مَا تِشْبَعْ بَرْسِيمْ فِي كْيَاكْ اِدْعُوا عَلِيهَا بِالْهَلَاكْ»

Historically, this farm saying concerns livestock grazing clover in Kiahk, a month of the Coptic calendar. It urges making full use of something beneficial while its season lasts; its deliberately harsh curse intensifies the warning against letting that favorable moment slip by.

It also conveys that good results depend on timing as well as availability. What helps most in its proper season should be taken up then, rather than deferred until its particular advantage can no longer be obtained. The curse is hyperbolic, not an endorsement of hostility toward people.

Use it to stress that a resource or opportunity does most good in its proper season, for example when urging that animals be fed at the right time. Because the wording literally calls down ruin on what misses out, treat it as hyperbole and avoid directing it at a person.
