«اِللِّي يِرْكَب السَّفِينَهْ مَا يِسْلَمْشْ مِنِ الْغَرَقْ»

Entering a risky undertaking means accepting that harm or failure remains possible. The proverb stresses exposure to danger, not the certainty of disaster.

Figuratively, it may be said when someone chooses a course whose possible rewards require facing real hazards. Its point is cautionary: participation removes any guarantee of complete safety.

Use it to warn about ventures, decisions, or commitments with foreseeable risk. It suits cases where someone has voluntarily entered an uncertain matter and should not expect protection from every adverse outcome.
