«كُل مَصَّهْ مَا تِجِي إِلَّا بْغُصَّهْ»

The saying holds that whatever good a person receives tends to arrive with some trouble mixed in. The drinking image is figurative: just as a sip can catch in the throat, every satisfaction carries a share of difficulty, so pure, untroubled enjoyment should not be expected.

It voices a wary realism about life: gains and pleasures are rarely clean, and their sweetness is usually dulled by worry, cost, or vexation. The speaker treats this mixture as the normal order of things rather than as a special misfortune.

Suits moments when someone reflects that a pleasure or achievement came with hardship, disappointment, or annoyance attached. It works as a resigned, slightly rueful remark rather than a complaint, often to temper expectations or console someone whose success carried a price.
