«دُمُوعِ الْفَوَاجِرْ حَوَاضِرْ»

The saying holds that certain women command their tears and can weep whenever it suits them. Crying, in this picture, is a device kept in reserve and summoned on demand to deceive or to dissemble, not an honest sign of grief or pain.

The judgment targets a stereotyped figure, women branded with a harsh moral and often sexual insult, so the saying voices a traditional misogynistic suspicion of women's weeping. It reflects an inherited attitude, not neutral wisdom about deception in general.

Taken on its own terms, the saying fits weeping judged to be summoned at will in order to deceive or placate. Since it disparages women branded as morally corrupt, it is better quoted when examining traditional attitudes than applied to any actual person.
