«خَلِّي شَرْبَهْ لْبُكْرَهْ»

The saying recommends keeping back part of what you have instead of exhausting it immediately. Here شربة means a single drink of water, not a dose of medicine. That sip left for the next day stands for any portion of income, food, or supplies set aside so future needs are not met with empty hands.

Beyond simple saving, it praises foresight and careful household management. The speaker encourages planning ahead and spending with restraint, implying that tomorrow's comfort depends on today's moderation and that a little prudence now prevents hardship later.

Suitable when advising someone against using up money, food, or other supplies all at once. It works as a gentle household reminder to hold something in reserve, especially when the person seems to be spending as though tomorrow will provide for itself.
