«كُل قُرْصَهْ تِحِبِّ لْهَا رَقْصَهْ»

Even something as ordinary as a loaf of bread has to be worked for. The dance stands for the effort that must be put in before any gain arrives, so nothing worth having simply falls into one's hands.

More broadly, the saying treats labour and diligence as the normal price of every benefit. It discourages expecting rewards for free and affirms that persistent striving is part of obtaining anything at all.

Suitable when someone hopes for food, earnings or another benefit without doing the work it requires, or when encouraging someone to accept that toil comes before reward. It can also serve as a wry remark about how hard-won even small gains are.
