He who destroyed Labid destroyed her. أخنى عليها الذي أخنى على لبد

أخنى عليها الذي أخنى على لبد
أخنى، أي أهلك. ولبد، أخر نسور لقمان. قال لبيد:
ولقد جرى لبد فأدرك ركضه      ريب الزمان وكان غير مثقل
لما رأى لبد النسور تطـايرت     رفع القوادم كالفقير الأعزل
-----------------------------------------------------
He who destroyed Labid destroyed her. "Destroyed" means ruined. And Labid was the last of Luqman's eagles. Labid said:
And Labid ran, and his running overcame the vicissitudes of time, though he was unburdened.
When Labid saw the eagles take flight, he raised his wings like a destitute, defenseless man.
----------------------------------------------------------
المثل «أخنى عليها الذي أخنى على لَبَد» يُضرب لما ينزل بهلاكٍ أو فناءٍ لا ينجو منه أحد، مهما طال بقاؤه أو اشتدت قوته. وأصله من قول لبيد بن ربيعة في رثاء النسر «لَبَد»، آخر نسور لقمان، الذي أدركه الموت بعد عمر طويل.
والمعنى: أن ما أهلك غيره سيهلكه أيضًا؛ فلا بقاء لأحد أمام الدهر أو الموت.
وأقرب المقابلات الإنجليزية: All good things must come to an end.
«كل شيء حسن لا بد أن ينتهي.»
وهو أشهر مقابل عام.
Death comes to us all.
«الموت يأتي الجميع.»
No one escapes the ravages of time.
«لا أحد ينجو من غوائل الزمن.»
What must be, must be.
«ما كُتب فلا بد أن يكون.» (أعم من المثل).
Time spares no one.
«الزمن لا يُبقي على أحد.»
وهو من أقرب التعابير إلى روح المثل.
أفضل مقابل
إذا كان المقصود حتمية الفناء وغلبة الزمن، فإن أفضل مقابل هو:
Time spares no one.
أو:
Death comes to us all.
وهما أقرب إلى معنى «أخنى عليها الذي أخنى على لبد» من حيث أن الدهر أو الموت لا يستثني أحدًا.
The proverb "He who destroyed Labad will destroy her" is used to describe a fate of destruction or annihilation from which no one can escape, no matter how long they lived or how strong they were. It originates from a poem by Labid ibn Rabi'ah lamenting the death of the eagle "Labad," the last of Luqman's eagles, who died after a long life.
The meaning is that what destroyed others will also destroy them; no one is immune to the passage of time or death.
The closest English equivalents are:
All good things must come to an end.
This is a more common equivalent.
Death comes to us all.
No one escapes the ravages of time.
What must be, must be.
Time spares no one.
Time spares no one. This is one of the expressions closest to the spirit of the proverb.
Best equivalent:
If the intended meaning is the inevitability of death and the tyranny of time, then the best equivalent is:
Time spares no one
Or:
Death comes to us all.
These are closer to the meaning of "He who wore down the beast has worn her down," in that time or death spares no one.

Your star has missed its mark. أخطأ نوءك

أخطأ نوءك
النوء : النجم يطلع أو يسقط فيمطر يقال : مطرنا بنوء كذا
يضرب لمن طلب حاجة فلم يقدر عليها
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your star has missed its mark. The star (or rising star) is the one that causes rain. It is said, "We were rained upon by such-and-such star." This is said of someone who sought something but could not obtain it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
المثل العربي «أخطأ نوؤُكَ» يُضرب لمن طلب حاجة أو رجا أمراً فلم يظفر به، وأصله من اعتقاد العرب أن طلوع بعض النجوم أو سقوطها يكون معه المطر، فإذا لم ينزل المطر قيل: أخطأ نوؤه، أي خاب رجاؤه.
ومن أقرب المقابلات الإنجليزية:
His hopes came to nothing.
(ذهبت آماله سدى.)
أو:
He came up empty-handed.
(عاد خالي الوفاض.)
ومن الأمثال الشائعة:
No luck this time.
(لم يحالفه الحظ هذه المرة.)
أو:
It wasn't meant to be.
(لم يُقدَّر له أن يكون.)
لكن إذا كان المقصود طلب شيء وعدم الظفر به، فأقرب مقابل اصطلاحي هو:
He came up empty-handed.
لأنه يدل على أن المرء سعى في طلب غرض ثم عاد دون أن يناله، وهو المعنى الذي يُضرب له المثل العربي.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Arabic proverb "Your star has failed" is used to describe someone who sought something or hoped for something but did not obtain it. Its origin lies in the Arab belief that the rising or setting of certain stars was associated with rain. If the rain did not fall, it was said, "His star has failed," meaning his hopes were in vain.
Some of the closest English equivalents are:
"His hopes came to nothing."
(His hopes were in vain.)
Or:
"He came up empty-handed."
Other common proverbs include:
"No luck this time."
Or:
"It wasn't meant to be."
However, if the intended meaning is seeking something and not obtaining it, the closest idiomatic equivalent is:
"He came up empty-handed."
This indicates that a person strived for a goal and returned without achieving it, which is the meaning conveyed by the Arabic proverb.

Time is more effective in changing things. الدَّهْرُ أَبْلَغُ في النَّكِيرِ.

By changing things, he means that time changes everything it encounters.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Arabic proverb "Time is more eloquent in denial" means that time is more capable than any preacher or critic of bringing about change, and that time is sufficient to alter circumstances and reveal truths.
The closest English equivalents are:
Time changes all things.
Time takes its toll.
Time will tell.
Time is the great healer. (If the context relates to the disappearance of an effect or pain.)
Nothing withstands the ravages of time.
Nothing can withstand the ravages of time. (If the intended meaning is change and corruption.)

The closest English proverb to the meaning of the Arabic proverb is:
Time changes all things.
Or, in a more eloquent and common form:
Time takes its toll.
Both convey the meaning that time is more effective in bringing about change and transformation than any denial or blame.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
يعني بالنكير الإنكار والتغيير، يريد أن الدهر يغير ما يأتي عليه.

Time is a silent, submissive force. الدَّهْرُ أَطْرَقُ مُسْتَتِبُّ.

Meaning, it is silent, submissive, and yielding. Bashar ibn Burd said:
A year, let not tomorrow deceive you... a year, for time is silent and forgiving.
Catch the one with malice in his moment of weakness... and when a she-camel gives milk, milk her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The proverb "Time is silent and still" means that time may appear calm, still, and stable, but it works its magic quietly, waiting and turning a blind eye until the opportunity arises. It refers to the apparent tranquility and the continuation of events without fanfare.
There is no English proverb that perfectly matches it, but the closest equivalents are:
"Still waters run deep."
— That is, apparent stillness may conceal an underlying influence or force, and this proverb is closest in spirit to the Arabic proverb.
"Time works in silence."
— A direct, non-traditional expression.
"Time quietly takes its course."
"Time will tell."
Therefore, the best English equivalent is:
"Still waters run deep."
If the intention is to emphasize that time moves quietly and steadily, the most appropriate expression is:
Time quietly takes its course.
That is, time proceeds in its course calmly and continuously, until it reaches its end.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
أي مُطْرِق مُغْضٍ منقاد، قال بشار ابن بُرْد:
عَامِ لا يَغْرُرْكَ يَوْمٌ من غدٍ ... عامِ إِنَّ الدَّهْرَ يُغْضِي وَيَهبْ
صَادِ ذَا الضِّغْنِ إلى غِرَّتِهِ ... وَإِذَا دَرَّتْ لَبُونٌ فَاحْتَلِبْ

Time is a tyrannical force. الدَّهْرُ أرْوَدُ مُسْتَبِدٌ.

Meaning, it is gentle in its dealings and dominant in its course. This is like the saying of Ibn Muqbil: "If time were to break me once, it would be for the sake of decay... for time is tyrannical towards peoples, full of change." "Arwad" means: it works its work silently, without being noticed. It is also said: tyrannica
l, determined in its course, and does not turn back.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proverb "Time is a tyrant" means that time works slowly and deliberately, but its will is absolute and unstoppable; it changes circumstances slowly and steadily until it achieves its purpose.
The closest English proverbs and expressions to this meaning are:
Time takes its toll.
Time will have its way.
Time and tide wait for no man.
The mills of God grind slowly, but exceedingly fine.
Time is the master of us all.
Time is the master of all. The closest English proverb that captures the essence of slowness, steadfastness, and influence is:
The mills of God grind slowly, but exceedingly fine.
However, if one wishes to express the irresistible power of time directly, the most fitting expression is:
Time will have its way.
That is, time has its own way, and nothing can stop it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
أي لَيِّنُ المعاملة غالبٌ على أمره، وهذا كقول ابن مُقْبل:
إنْ يَنْقُضِ الدَّهْرُ مِني مرَّةً لِبلى ... فالدهر أرْوَدُ بالأقْوَامِ ذُو غِيَرِ
أرود: أي يعمل عملَه في سكون لا يشعر به، ويقال: المستبد الماضي في أمره لا يرجع عنه.

Time is relentless and cannot be reconciled. الدهر أنكب لا يلب

Time is unpredictable and does not yield. It is also said, "It is unpredictable and does not yield." "Unpredictable" (أَنْكَب) comes from "calamity" (النَكْبَة), meaning it brings many calamities. The correct interpretation is that it comes from "inclination" (النَكْب), meaning it deviates from righteousness and does not remain on one path. "Unpredictable" (أَنْكَث) means it frequently undoes and breaks what it has established and untied, similar to "will yield" (أَلْبَ) in meaning.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proverb "Time is fickle and unyielding" (or: unfailing and unyielding) means that time is fickle and unstable, never remaining constant or unchanging. It undoes what it builds and alters circumstances.
The closest English proverbs to this meaning are:
Times change.
Nothing stays the same forever.
Fortune is fickle.
The wheel of fortune turns.
Every tide has its ebb.
The closest English proverb to the spirit of the Arabic proverb is:
Fortune is fickle.
Or:
The wheel of fortune turns.
Both express that time does not remain constant, but rather it tends to change and overturns what it has settled upon.

ويروى " أنكث لا يلث "
أنكب : من النكبة أي كثير النكبات والصحيح أن يقال : أنكب من النكب وهو الميل يعني أنه عادل عن الاستقامة لا يقيم على جهة واحدة وأنكث : أي كثير النكث والنقض لما أبرم وألث مثل ألب في المعنى
