«طِلِعْ مِنْ مَعْصَرَهْ وِقِعْ فِي طَاحُونَهْ»

The saying describes someone who gets clear of one hardship and promptly lands in another of the same kind. The implied picture, though no animal is named, is of a draft beast unhitched from the oil press, briefly believing its toil is over, only to be yoked straight to the millstone and set circling again.

Its point is the disappointment of relief that never arrives. Escape turns out to be a change of scenery rather than an end to suffering, so the expression carries a rueful, almost fatalistic tone about repeated, wearying toil rather than escalating danger: one burden after another without a pause between them.

Use it as a wry or sympathetic comment when someone has just escaped one exhausting burden and immediately faces another, such as leaving a grueling job for a new one that is just as demanding. The tone suits resignation more than alarm.
