«اِللِّي يِزْرَعْ مَا يْخَافْشْ مِنِ العَصْفُورْ»

Someone able to carry out a task should not abandon it merely because of an obstacle they can also handle. The saying presents determination as practical confidence: a foreseeable problem, like the sparrow in its image, need not stop the undertaking.

It encourages proceeding with a worthwhile plan despite modest risks when precautions or remedies are within one’s control. It does not promise freedom from loss or difficulty; rather, a manageable threat should be addressed instead of causing retreat.

Use it to reassure or urge someone hesitating over a project because of a predictable, controllable setback. It suits cases where the speaker believes the person can prevent, reduce, or answer the problem. Avoid using it to dismiss risks that are serious or beyond someone’s control.
