«مَا يِصْعَبْ عَ الْعِرْيَانْ قَد يُومِ الْخِيَاطَهْ»

The saying captures how deprivation stings most sharply when its remedy is on display. A poor person without proper clothing may bear his lack quietly, but the day he sees others having fresh garments stitched reminds him painfully of his own condition. Seeing what one needs in other hands stirs the memory of want.

A second, more tentative reading turns the image inward: for someone long deprived, the hardest day is the one when his own garment is finally being sewn. Once relief is certain and close, the short remaining wait feels longer than all the months endured before, because hope sharpens impatience as fulfillment approaches.

Fits moments when someone in need watches others enjoy exactly what they lack, such as new clothes, a home, or a family. It can also describe the restless final stretch before a long-awaited relief arrives. Best used sympathetically, since it speaks to deprivation rather than mocking it.
