«مِنْ حَبَّكْ عَنْدِ شِيءْ كَرهَكْ عَنْدِ انْقِطَاعُهْ»

Affection that springs from a particular motive, such as profit, convenience, or a passing need, lasts only as long as that motive does. When the cause is removed, the feeling does not simply fade; it can flip into resentment or open dislike.

The saying therefore separates genuine attachment from interested attachment. It cautions the listener to judge the basis of someone's fondness, since love tied to a purpose is fragile and may leave hostility behind once the purpose is spent.

Suitable when commenting on friendships, alliances, or attachments that collapse once a benefit, need, or shared interest disappears. It works as a sober warning before trusting conditional warmth, or as a rueful remark after such a relationship has soured.
