«كُلْ قُرْصَكْ وِالْزَمْ خُصَّكْ»

The saying advises a person to be content with plain food, pictured as a flat round of bread, and a humble dwelling, pictured as a simple hut of mud brick or sticks roofed with dried plants. Keeping to one's modest home is presented as better than wandering into the company and affairs of others, even when that home is poor.

More broadly, it is a commendation of solitude and withdrawal. It ranks quiet self-reliance and seclusion above sociability, implying that staying apart spares a person trouble, dependence, and entanglement. The value it praises is the peace of keeping to oneself, rather than poverty for its own sake.

Fits moments when someone weighs venturing out, joining crowds, or depending on others, and the speaker recommends staying home on one's own means. It can serve as gentle advice or as a personal statement of preferring a quiet, withdrawn life, however humble the home.
