With the lack of horses, we saddle the dogs!
There's nothing suitable, so they come with a useless alternative

الديك الفصيح من البيضة يصيح
The eloquent cock crows from the egg
It early pricks that will be a thorn

الصبر مفتاح الفرج
Patience is the key to relief

It's all his fault, yet he pretends to be the victim

Cut your coat according to your cloth

عصفور باليد أحسن من عشرة على الشجرة

اسأل مجرب و لا تسأل حكيم
Ask one who has experience rather than a physician
Experience without learning is better than learning without experience

مثل الأطرش في الزفة
He is like a deaf man at a wedding procession
A fish out of water

مو كل مرة بتسلم الجرة
It is not every time that the clay pot survives
You cannot tempt providence and always triumph

A better one in another one
Better luck next time

Every problem has a solution

Keep away from trouble and sing to it
Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you

As you went, so you came back
So what else is new!

أصرف ما في الجيب يأتيك ما في الغيب
Spend what is in your pocket, you will get more from the unknown
Spend and God will send

بطيخ يكسر بعضه
Let the water melons break each other!
Let them stew in their own juice

As you make your bed, so you must lie on it

با داخل بين البصلة و قشريها، ما بنوبك إلا ريحتها
Whoever gets between the onion and its skin will get nothing but its stink
Never get between a man and his wife

مثل الحية من تحت التبن
Like a snake under the hay
Like a snake in the grass

با مسترخص اللحم، عند المرق تندم
If you buy cheap meat you'll be sorry when you come to the gravy
Beware of false economy
======
غابت السباع و لعبت الضباع
When the lions are away, the hyenas play
When the cat is away, the mice will play
======
طب الجرة على تمها، بتطلع البنت لأمها
Turn the pot upside down, the girl will still be like her mother
Like mother, like daughter

تاجرنا بالأكفان، بطلت الناس تموت
When we decided to trade coffins, people decided not
