كلام الليل مدهون بزبدة يطلع عليه النهار يسيح
Kalam el leil madhoun be zebdah, yetla aleih el nahar yeseeh
Translation: Night talk is covered with butter, when the daylight comes, it melts away.
Meaning: Don't believe things people may say late at night, when they are in a dreamy, not a business, mood. They would easily make promises that they cannot possibly keep.
