意思
To punish or show someone the truth.
文化背景
In Pakistan, this phrase is often used in political rallies. Leaders promise to 'teach a lesson' to their opponents through the power of the vote. Classical Urdu fables (like those in 'Akhlaq-e-Hindi') always end with a character 'learning a lesson' (Sabaq seekhna) after a moral failure. The 'Angry Young Man' trope of the 70s and 80s was built on the hero 'teaching a lesson' to the corrupt system or the local goon. Sufis often speak of the 'Nafs' (ego) needing to be taught a lesson through 'Zuhd' (asceticism) and 'Sabr' (patience).
Use with 'Waqt'
Saying 'Waqt sabaq sikhayega' (Time will teach a lesson) is a very natural and poetic way to express that karma will catch up to someone.
Don't sound too aggressive
Be careful using this with friends; it can sound like a genuine threat of physical harm if your tone is too serious.

The 'ko' rule
Always remember the person being taught the lesson needs 'ko'. Example: 'Aslam *ko* sabaq sikhao'.
