«مِنْ كِرْهُهْ رَبُّهْ سَلَّطْ عَلِيهْ بَطْنُهْ»

The proverb treats an insatiable appetite as a burden rather than a pleasure. A person who is constantly driven by hunger and craving is pictured as handed over to the rule of a tyrant, and that subjection is read as a mark that God has turned away from them.

In practice the saying works as a moral rebuke of greed at the table. It praises restraint and moderation by implication, suggesting that someone who lets food govern their conduct is not merely unlucky or undisciplined but spiritually out of favor.

Suitable for a pointed or wry remark about someone who cannot control their eating, or as a general warning against gluttony. Because it invokes God's displeasure, it fits moralizing talk better than light teasing and can sound like a harsh moral judgment if aimed at a particular person.
