«يَا هَارِبْ مِنْ قَضَايَا، مَا لَكْ رَب سِوَايَا»

The saying imagines God addressing a person who tries to run away from what has been ordained. Wherever that person turns, they remain under the same Lord. No refuge lies outside the authority that set the decree in the first place.

In practice, the proverb urges people to accept their lot with contentment instead of struggling against fate. It reframes misfortune or unwelcome circumstances as something to be borne patiently. Flight from destiny is shown to be pointless, since it only leads back to the one who decreed it.

Say it to someone resisting or agonizing over an outcome beyond human control, urging acceptance over futile escape. It suits consolation or gentle admonition among listeners who share a belief in divine decree; because it speaks in God's voice, some may find it weighty or sensitive.
