«عَنْدِ السَّعْدِ النَّمْلَهْ تِقْتِلِ التِّعْبَانْ»

The saying holds that fortune can overturn the ordinary order of strength. The ant stands for the weak and the snake for the strong: once luck turns in someone's favor, even the feeblest may defeat a far more dangerous rival, so success depends on fortune more than force.

It can also serve as a gentle warning to the powerful: superiority is never guaranteed. A rival who seems negligible may prevail when circumstances line up behind them, so strength alone offers no lasting security against a well-timed turn of luck.

Fits remarks on an unlikely victory or a sudden reversal, where a small or overlooked party overcomes a stronger opponent and the outcome is credited to good fortune rather than raw power. It can sound admiring or wry, depending on tone.
