Thin-lipped. خَفِيفٌ الشَّفَةِ.

خَفِيفٌ الشَّفَةِ.
Thin-lipped.
------------------------------------------------------------
خَفِيفُ الشَّفَةِ يُقال لمن يكثر الكلام، أو يسرع إلى النطق، ولا يضبط لسانه؛ وقد يُراد به أيضًا من لا يتأنّى في كلامه.
وأقرب تعبير إنجليزي:
“He has a loose tongue.”
أي: «لسانه منفلت» أو «لا يحفظ لسانه».
ومن التعبيرات القريبة:
“He is quick with his tongue.”
أي: «سريع اللسان، سريع الرد والكلام.»
فإذا كان المقصود في المثل كثرة الكلام وعدم ضبط اللسان، فـ “He has a loose tongue” هو الأنسب.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The expression "light of tongue" is used to describe someone who talks too much or speaks too quickly, without controlling their tongue. It can also refer to someone who speaks carelessly.
The closest English expression is:
"He has a loose tongue."
Meaning: "His tongue is loose" or "He doesn't hold his tongue."
A similar expression is:
"He is quick with his tongue."
Meaning: "He is quick with his tongue, quick to respond and speak."
So, if the proverb refers to someone who talks too much and doesn't control their tongue, then "He has a loose tongue" is the most appropriate.

More affectionate than an old she-camel أحن من شارف

أحن من شارف
الشارف، الناقة المسنة، وهي أشد حنيناً على ولدها من غيرها. قلت: كذا أورده حمزة رحمه الله، حنيناً على، والصواب، حنيناً إلى، أو حناناً على، أن أراد العطف والرأفة.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
More affectionate than an old she-camel. The old she-camel is more affectionate towards her offspring than any other. I said: This is how Hamza, may God have mercy on him, presented it, "affection towards," but the correct form is "affection towards," or "affection for," if he meant affection and compassion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
المثل العربي «أَحَنُّ مِنْ شَارِفٍ» يُضرب في شدة الحنان والحنين إلى الولد، فالشارف هي الناقة المسنّة، وكانت العرب ترى أن حنينها إلى ولدها شديد جدًا.
ولا يوجد مقابل إنجليزي يذكر الناقة المسنّة تحديدًا، لكن توجد تعابير إنجليزية قريبة جدًا من المعنى: A mother's love knows no bounds.
«حب الأم لا حدود له.»
وهو أقرب من حيث الحنان الشديد على الولد.
As protective as a mother hen.
«كأم الدجاج في حمايتها لصغارها.»
وهو تعبير شائع عن شدة الحماية والحنان.
Like a mother hen with her chicks.
«كالدجاجة الأم مع فراخها.»
يقال لمن يبالغ في الحنان والرعاية.
Yearning for her child.
«تشتاق إلى ولدها بشدة.»
أقرب إلى معنى الحنين تحديدًا.
وأقرب مقابل للمثل العربي بحسب المقصود هو:
A mother's love knows no bounds.
أما إذا أردت الحفاظ على صورة الحيوان والحنان الشديد على الصغار، فأقرب تعبير إنجليزي:
As protective as a mother hen.
فكما جعل العرب الشارف مثالًا على شدة حنين الأم إلى ولدها، جعل الإنجليز الدجاجة الأم رمزًا للحنان والحماية الشديدة للصغار.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Arabic proverb "More affectionate than an old she-camel" is used to describe intense affection and longing for one's offspring. The word "sharif" refers to an old she-camel, and the Arabs believed that her yearning for her young was exceptionally strong.
While there is no direct English equivalent specifically mentioning an old she-camel, there are several English expressions very close in meaning:
"A mother's love knows no bounds."
This is closer in meaning to the intense affection for one's child.
"As protective as a mother hen."
This is a common expression for intense protectiveness and affection.
"Like a mother hen with her chicks."
This is said of someone who is excessively affectionate and caring.
"Yearning for her child."
This is closer in meaning to the specific concept of longing.
The closest equivalent to the Arabic proverb, in terms of its intended meaning, is:
"A mother's love knows no bounds."
However, if you wish to preserve the image of the animal and its intense tenderness towards its young, the closest English expression is:
"As protective as a mother hen."
Just as the Arabs used the ram as an example of a mother's deep affection for her offspring, the English have made the mother hen a symbol of tenderness and fierce protection of her young.

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.

The strangulation brings out the paper الخنق يخرج الورق

الخنق يخرج الورق
يضرب للغريم الملح يستخرج دينه بملازمته.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The strangulation brings out the paper.
He strikes the adversary with salt, extracting his debt by his constant presence.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
لمثل العربي «الخنق يخرج الورق» يُضرب للدائن الذي يلازم غريمه ويشتد عليه حتى يستخرج منه المال (الورق = الدراهم أو النقود الفضية). فالمعنى هو أن الإلحاح والضغط يؤديان إلى الحصول على الحق أو انتزاع المال.
وأقرب المقابلات في الإنجليزية هي: Squeezing brings out the money. (تعبير وصفي، غير مثل شائع.)
Put the squeeze on someone. (تعبير اصطلاحي شائع)
أي: يمارس ضغطًا شديدًا على شخص ليجعله يدفع المال أو يفعل ما يريد. وهو أقرب تعبير للمعنى.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
«العجلة الصريرية هي التي تحصل على الشحم.»
أي أن الإلحاح والمطالبة المستمرة تجلب النتيجة، وإن كان لا يختص بتحصيل الديون.
Persistence pays off.
«المثابرة تؤتي ثمارها.»
يوافق المعنى العام دون دلالة الضغط على المدين.
أفضل مقابل اصطلاحي: Put the squeeze on someone. لأنه يعبر عن الضغط والإلحاح لاستخراج المال أو حمل الشخص على الدفع، وهو الأقرب إلى معنى المثل العر
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Arabic proverb “Strangulation brings out the paper” applies to the creditor who pursues his rival and harasses him until he extracts money from him (paper = dirhams or silver coins). The meaning is that insistence and pressure lead to obtaining the right or extracting money.
The closest interviews in English are:
Squeezing brings out the money. (A descriptive expression, not a common proverb.)
Put the squeeze on someone. (common idiomatic expression)
That is: putting intense pressure on a person to make him pay money or do what he wants. It is the closest expression to the meaning.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
“It's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.”
That is, persistent insistence and demands bring results, even if it does not concern debt collection.
Persistence pays off.
“Perseverance pays off.”
The general meaning agrees without the implication of pressure on the debtor.
Better Idiomatic Opposite: Put the squeeze on someone. Because it expresses pressure and urgency to extract money or force a person to pay, which is closest to the meaning of the proverb
