«سَبْسِبِ الْقَرْعْ وِجَا خِيرُهْ»

The image is a gourd plant whose runners have stretched out and multiplied, the stage just before it bears fruit. Its yield, meaning practical benefit rather than moral goodness, is spoken of as having arrived, though the crop is still forming and nothing is harvested yet.

Applied to people or projects, the saying marks the moment when something starts to turn out well and its usefulness is near. It expresses confident anticipation that patience is about to be repaid.

Say it when a venture, a young person, or any slow-growing effort begins showing real signs of promise, so that its rewards seem close at hand. It suits hopeful remarks about progress that is visible but not yet complete.
