«مَا لُهْ الدِّسْتْ بِيِغْلِي؟ قَالْ: مِنْ كُتْرْ نَارُهْ»

Strong grief or agitation does not come from nowhere. Just as a vessel boils because a hot fire burns beneath it, a person overflows with sorrow because severe troubles are pressing on them. The visible reaction is the natural result of a hidden, intense cause.

The saying also defends the sufferer. Whoever is overwhelmed by hardship should be excused, not blamed for their emotion. Before judging an outburst of distress, one should consider the weight of what that person is enduring.

Use it when someone questions why a person is so grieved or agitated, to answer that the reaction matches heavy troubles. It argues that the sufferer deserves understanding, not reproach, and fits sympathetic replies to critics of another's distress. It is not advice to calm down.
