«إِنْ عَاشِتِ الرَّاسْ تِعْرَفْ غَرِيمْهَا مِينْ»

The saying expresses confidence that survival eventually brings clarity. Here, “the head” stands for the person who remains alive: someone who endures a misfortune whose cause is unknown may later learn who was responsible.

It is used in moments of injury, loss, or trouble when blame cannot yet be assigned. Rather than treating uncertainty as final, it suggests waiting for events to reveal the person behind the harm, not necessarily a formal adversary.

Say it when someone has suffered a setback or hostile act but does not yet know its source. It conveys a patient, guarded expectation that time may reveal who was behind the misfortune.
