«مِنْ دَارَى عَلَى شَمْعِتُهْ نَارِتْ»

The saying pictures someone sheltering the small flame of a candle and reports that the candle then burned and gave light. Its plain message ties the act of guarding something delicate to a good result: what is protected is what goes on shining.

The image can be taken at face value or extended to whatever a person values and chooses to look after. The past-tense phrasing frames the outcome as already settled, as though describing what reliably happens to anyone who takes such care.

Suited to encouraging someone to look after what belongs to them, or to remarking afterwards that a good outcome followed from careful protection. It can serve as quiet advice before the fact or as an approving comment once the result is clear.
