«تَمَلِّي الْعَاقْبَهْ عَنِ الْعُقُولْ غَايْبَهْ»

The saying observes that people often leave eventual consequences out of their thinking. They consider an action without keeping its final result in view, overlooking what may follow from it.

Its force is a criticism of neglecting consequences, rather than a claim that thinking ahead is impossible. The sweeping wording emphasizes how readily the end result slips from people's minds.

Use it to comment on someone's failure to consider the consequences of an action. It expresses criticism of that oversight, without necessarily claiming that the outcome could have been predicted with certainty.
