«لَا يْفُوتُهْ فَايِتْ وَلَا طَبِيخْ بَايِتْ»

This disparaging saying portrays a greedy person so intent on gain that nothing gets away from him. Whatever comes within his reach, he makes sure to get hold of it before it has any chance to escape.

Its two halves set anything that might pass him by beside food cooked the day before and kept overnight, extending his grasp even to leftovers. The closing words of each half, fāyit and bāyit, rhyme with each other.

Use it to criticize a grasping person who insists on getting something out of whatever comes near, even overnight leftovers. It suits complaint or teasing about someone's appetite for gain, not simple thrift or diligence. Said directly to someone present, it can come across as an insult.
