意思
Appearing exactly at the opportune or expected moment.
文化背景
Being 'on time' in a Western sense is often flexible in Iran (Ta'arof culture), but arriving 'sar-be-zangah' to help someone is highly praised and seen as a sign of a good friend. The concept of the 'moment' (Dam or Lahze) is huge in Persian poetry (like Khayyam). This idiom is the modern, colloquial cousin of those deep philosophical ideas about the importance of the present moment. Action and drama movies in Iran heavily rely on 'sar-be-zangah' arrivals of the police or the hero to resolve tension, reflecting a cultural love for dramatic rescues.
Use it for gratitude
If someone helps you, say 'Sar-be-zangah rasidi!' It sounds much more native and appreciative than just 'thank you'.
Not for appointments
Don't tell your boss you arrived 'sar-be-zangah' for a meeting; it implies you were almost late and got lucky!
