علاج واقعه قبل از وقوع باید کرد
elaj-e vaghe'eh qabl az voghu' bayad kard
Prevent an event before it happens
المعنى
It is wise to take preventative measures rather than dealing with consequences.
خلفية ثقافية
In Iran, this proverb is often linked to the concept of 'Zereshki' (being sharp/alert). It is a point of pride to be the person who saw the problem coming. In Dari-speaking regions, the proverb is equally popular and maintains its classical form, often cited in schools to encourage students to study early. Tajik speakers use this proverb but may write it in Cyrillic (Илоҷи воқеа пеш аз вуқӯъ бояд кард). It remains a staple of their Persian literary heritage. Second-generation Iranians in the West often hear this from their parents regarding education and career choices, serving as a linguistic bridge to classical values.
Use it to sound wise
If you want to impress an Iranian elder, use this proverb when they give you advice. It shows you respect their wisdom.
Don't over-conjugate
Keep it as 'bayad kard'. Don't try to say 'bayad bokonam' or 'bayad bokoni'—it loses its proverbial status.
