«دَاهْيَهْ تِخْفِي الشِّرْكْ وَلَوْ فِي الْغَدَا»

The saying calls down ruin on partnership itself, with the force of an exasperated curse rather than a neutral observation. Here shirk means a shared stake in worldly affairs, not the theological sense. Because shared undertakings so often end in disagreement, it holds that joint arrangements are best avoided, even something as minor as sharing a meal.

The meal stands for the smallest possible kind of sharing and does not limit the saying to food. It condemns partnership as a reliable source of friction. A speaker may voice it to justify acting alone, or to vent after a shared arrangement has collapsed into quarrels.

Suited to moments when someone declines to go halves, looks back on a joint venture that went sour, or warns a friend against co-owning something. It works as a blunt, cursing expression of personal conviction favoring independence rather than as a reasoned argument.
