«بُكْرَهْ نُقْعُدْ عَلَى رَاسَكْ وِنْشُوفَ افْقَاسَكْ»

This saying rebukes someone who habitually disparages or speaks ill of other people’s children. It warns them not to be smug: their own children or offspring may one day be judged just as harshly.

Its force comes from turning the critic’s attention back on their own family and the uncertainty of the future. Before attacking other families, they should consider whether their own children will withstand the same scrutiny; the wording is deliberately personal and insulting.

Use it as a sharp, cautionary reply to a person who habitually faults other people’s children. It is confrontational rather than gentle, redirecting the criticism toward the critic’s own family and warning against presumptuous judgments about how one’s children will turn out.
