«مِنْ طَاطَى لْهَا فَاتِتْ»

The saying recommends yielding quietly when trouble strikes. The unnamed "it" is best read as a hardship or blow of fortune, not a person or object. Rather than resisting head-on, one who keeps low and endures will find that it moves on and ends without lasting harm.

The lowered head is figurative, meaning yielding to circumstances rather than a gesture of greeting or prayer. Behind the advice lies a view that many hardships are passing storms; fighting them may prolong the damage, while patient submission lets time do its work.

Suitable when consoling or advising someone facing a temporary misfortune they cannot change, suggesting patience and restraint over struggle. It may sound passive or resigned if applied to injustices that call for resistance, so choose the moment carefully.
