اللي خلف ما مات *
* the one who left (children) behind did not die
Proverb used here and there by Elders
It's a way to deliver condolences to the family (especially the children) of the deceased. It basically means if a parent left behind kids who he/she taught good values, wisdom, and faith, It's like they don't really die. The good things they taught their kids, which their kids can in turn pass on to their kids, makes them live on beyond their years.
"شد حيلك، اللي خلف ما مات."
"Stay strong. The one who left (children) behind, did not die."
