«مِنْ عِرِفْ مُبْتَدَاهْ هَانْ عَلِيهْ مُنْتَهَاهْ»

A person who keeps in mind how life starts, small, dependent, and arising from nothing of its own making, finds the thought of its close less frightening. Awareness of one's humble origin softens the dread of death and makes the final passage seem a natural return.

The saying works as a reminder of mortality as much as a comfort. It invites listeners to set aside pride and anxiety alike, accepting that an end belongs to every beginning, so that death is met with composure instead of alarm. Its rhyming pair, mubtadāh and muntahāh, gives it a compact, balanced shape.

Suitable for moments of mourning, consolation, or sober reflection on mortality, when someone wants to calm fear of dying by recalling how humbly every life begins. It reads as gentle counsel rather than rebuke, and is not general advice about planning or finishing projects.
