«اِلرِّجْلِ تْدِب مَطْرَحْ مَا تْحِب»

The saying holds that people's movements betray their attachments. Without much deliberate choice, a person keeps drifting, slowly and almost involuntarily, toward the places and company that warm them, so habitual visits reveal where their affection truly lies.

It also carries a reciprocal note: one is drawn especially to places where one feels welcome and cherished. Absence can therefore hint at coolness, while steady presence signals that the bond is felt on both sides.

Fits when someone keeps returning to a certain house, café, or person, or when explaining why a visitor stopped coming. It works as a gentle, knowing remark about affection guiding behavior, and can tease someone whose frequent visits reveal a fondness they have not openly admitted.
