The coast is clear for you, so lay your eggs and chirp. خلا لك الجو قبيضي واصفري

خلا لك الجو قبيضي واصفري
أول من قال ذلك طرفة بن العبد الشاعر، وذلك أنه كان مع قومه في سفر، وهو صبي، فنزلوا على ماء، فذهب طرفة بفخيخ له فنصبه للقنابر، وبقي عامة يومه فلم يصد شيئاً، ثم حمل فخه ورجع إلى عمه، وتحملوا من ذلك المكان، فرأى القنابر يلقطن ما نثر لهن من الحب فقال:
يا لك من قنبرة بـمـعـمـر
خلا لك الجو فبيضي واصفري
ونقري ما شئت أن تـنـقـري
قد رحل الصياد عنك فابشري
ورفع الفخ فمـاذا تـحـذري
لا بد من صيدك يوماً فاصبري
وحذف النون من قوله، تحذري، لوفاق القافية، أو لالتقاء الساكنين. قال أبو عبيد: يروى عن ابن عباس رضي الله تعالى عنهما أنه قال لابن الزبير، حين خرج الحسين رضي الله عنه إلى العراق: خلا لك الجو فبيضي واصفري. يضرب في الحاجة يتمكن منها صاحبها.

The coast is clear for you, so lay your eggs and chirp.
The first to say this was the poet Tarafa ibn al-Abd. He was traveling with his people when he was a boy. They stopped at a watering place, and Tarafa took his trap and set it for larks. He spent most of the day trying to catch anything. Then he took his trap and returned to his uncle, and they continued on their way. He saw the larks pecking at the grain he had scattered for them and said:
O lark of Ma'mar, the coast is clear for you, so lay your eggs and chirp.
Peck as you please, the hunter has left you, so rejoice!
He has removed the trap, so what are you afraid of? You will inevitably be caught one day, so be patient.
He omitted the nun from the word "beware" for the sake of the rhyme, or to avoid the meeting of two consonants. Abu Ubayd said: It is narrated that Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them both, said to Ibn al-Zubayr when al-Husayn, may God be pleased with him, went to Iraq: "The coast is clear for you, so lay your eggs and chirp." It is used to describe a need that its owner can fulfill.

المثل العربي «خلا لكِ الجوُّ فبيِّضي واصفِري» يُضرب لمن زالت من طريقه العوائق، وأصبح حرًّا في أن يفعل ما يشاء أو يحقق ما كان يطمح إليه. وقد يُستعمل أحيانًا على سبيل التهكم بمن استغل غياب المنافس أو الرقيب لينفرد بالأمر.
وأقرب المقابلات في الثقافة الإنجليزية هي: The coast is clear.   الطريق خالٍ (ولا خطر).
يُقال عندما يزول الرقيب أو الخطر، ويصبح الوقت مناسبًا للتصرف.
The field is all yours. الساحة كلها لك.
أي لم يبقَ من ينافسك أو يزاحمك.
When the cat's away, the mice will play. إذا غاب القط لعبت الفئران.
يُستعمل عندما يستغل الناس غياب صاحب السلطة أو الرقيب، وهو قريب جدًا إذا كان المقصود استغلال غياب المنافس أو المانع.
Now is your chance. الآن فرصتك.
تعبير مباشر يوافق المعنى العام.
أفضل مقابل
يعتمد على السياق:
إذا كان المقصود زوال المانع وتهيؤ الفرصة، فأفضل مقابل هو:
The coast is clear.
وإذا كان المقصود استغلال غياب الرقيب أو المنافس، فأفضل مقابل هو:
When the cat's away, the mice will play.
وهذا الأخير قريب من استعمال المثل في قصة Ibn Abbas مع Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr، حيث استُخدم على سبيل التلميح إلى أن الساحة قد خلت لمنافس بعد خروج غيره.

The Arabic proverb "The coast is clear, so lay your eggs and chirp" is used to describe someone who has overcome all obstacles and is now free to do as they please or achieve their aspirations. It can also be used ironically to describe someone who takes advantage of the absence of a competitor or supervisor to act unilaterally.
The closest equivalents in English are:
The coast is clear. ✅ Best equivalent: The road is clear (and there is no danger).
Said when the supervisor or danger is gone, and the time is right to act.
The field is all yours.
Meaning, no one s left to compete with or challenge you.
When the cat's away, the mice will play.
Used when people take advantage of the absence of an authority figure or supervisor; it's very similar when referring to exploiting the absence of a competitor or obstacle.
Now is your chance.
A direct expression that fits the general meaning. Best Equivalent
Depends on context:
If the intention is to describe the removal of an obstacle and the emergence of an opportunity, the best equivalent is:
The coast is clear.
If the intention is to describe exploiting the absence of a supervisor or competitor, the best equivalent is:
When the cat's away, the mice will play.
This last one is similar to the proverb's use in the story of Ibn Abbas with Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, where it was used to suggest that the field was clear for a competitor after the departure of the previous one.

Leave a way for someone to drink and someone who sheds water in the desert خل سبيل من وهي سقاؤه ومن هريق بالفلاة ماؤه

خل سبيل من وهي سقاؤه ومن هريق بالفلاة ماؤه
يضرب لمن كره صحبتك وزهد فيك. قال الشاعر:
صادق خليلك ما بدا لك نصحه
فإذا بدا لك غشه فـتـبـدل
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leave a way for someone to drink and someone who sheds water in the desert
Hits those who hate your company and reject you. The poet said:
Be honest with your friend when he seems honest to you, but if he seems dishonest to you, change it
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
لمثل العربي «خَلِّ سبيلَ مَن وَهِيَ سِقاؤُه، ومَن أُهريقَ بالفلاةِ ماؤُه» يُضرب لمن كره صحبتك، أو زهد فيك، أو انقطعت رغبته في استمرار العلاقة؛ فدعه وشأنه ولا تتشبث به.
ومعناه المجازي: من فقد ما كان يعتمد عليه أو لم يعد يرغب في صحبتك، فلا فائدة من ملاحقته أو محاولة استبقائه.
وأقرب المقابلات في الثقافة الإنجليزية هي: If you love something, set it free.
إذا أحببت شيئًا فأطلق سراحه.
قريب من حيث ترك من لا يريد البقاء، لكنه يركز على الاختبار لا على الزهد في الصحبة.
Don't force what isn't meant to be.
أفضل مقابل لا تُكره أمرًا ليس مقدرًا له أن يستمر.
يعبر عن ترك العلاقة عندما تنعدم الرغبة من أحد الطرفين.
Let bygones be bygones. دع الماضي يمضي.
أقرب إلى تجاوز الخلاف، وليس إلى ترك من زهد في صحبتك.
Never chase someone who doesn't want to stay. لا تطارد من لا يريد البقاء.
تعبير حديث شائع، وهو يطابق المعنى بدقة، وإن لم يكن مثلًا تقليديًا.
أفضل مقابل
إذا أردنا مثلًا أو حكمة متداولة، فأقربها:
Don't force what isn't meant to be.
أما إذا كان المطلوب أدق تعبير عن المعنى، فهو:
Never chase someone who doesn't want to stay.
وهذا يطابق مقصد المثل العربي: إذا رغب شخص في مفارقتك أو زهد في صحبتك، فاتركه ولا تتشبث به.

The Arabic proverb, “Leave alone the one whose water skin has worn out, and the one whose water has been spilled in the desert,” is used to describe someone who has grown tired of your company, lost interest in you, or whose desire to continue the relationship has vanished. Leave them be and don't cling to them.
Its figurative meaning is: Whoever has lost what they relied on or no longer desires your company, there is no point in pursuing them or trying to keep them.
The closest equivalents in English are:
If you love something, set it free.
If you love something, set it free.
Similar to letting go of someone who doesn't want to stay, but it focuses on the experience rather than the rejection of the relationship.
Don't force what isn't meant to be.
A better equivalent: Don't force something that isn't meant to last.
Expresses ending a relationship when one party no longer desires it.
Let bygones be bygones.
Let the past go.
More about moving past a disagreement, not abandoning someone who has lost interest in your company. Never chase someone who doesn't want to stay.
Don't chase someone who doesn't want to stay.
This is a common modern expression that accurately conveys the meaning, even if it's not a traditional proverb.
Best equivalent:
If we want a proverb or common saying, the closest is:
Don't force what isn't meant to be.
But if we want a more precise expression of the meaning, it's:
Never chase someone who doesn't want to stay.
This corresponds to the meaning of the Arabic proverb: If someone wishes to leave you or has lost interest in your company, let them go and don't cling to them.

Go away, for I will not call out to your flock. اذْهَبِي فَلَا أنْدَهُ سَرْبَكِ‏.‏

"Nadh" means rebuke, and "sarb" refers to grazing livestock. In pre-Islamic times, a woman would be told, "Go away, for I will not call out to your flock," and this phrase was used to divorce her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The phrase "Go, for I will not call your flock" was a form of divorce used in pre-Islamic Arabia. Its literal meaning is: Go, for I will not herd your livestock or return them to you; that is, there is no longer any bond or relationship between us.
Because it is used to signify a complete and final break in the relationship, leaving the person to their own devices, the closest English equivalents are:
Go your own way.
We are through.
t's over between us.
, and be done with it.a
 set you free.
I set you free. (In the context of ending the relationship)
f we want a concise equivalent that conveys the intended meaning of the proverb, the best translation is:
Go your own way; we are through."
hat is: Go your own way; we are over.
