no, I haven't heard of that one -- sorry. Try googling it. I tried but the spelling may be wrong (or they may be a missing accent somewhere ). But so long as we're on the subject of proverbs.......

here are some 3arabi ones:

إذا كان صاحبك عسل لا تلحسه كله
If your friend is honey, don't lick him all

عرج الجمل من شفته
The camel limped from its split lip = A bad workman blames his tools

الجار قبل الدار
Choose the neighbor before the house

أنا و أخي على ابن عمي، أنا و ابن عمي على الغريب
My brother and I against my cousin, My cousin and I against a stranger = "Blood is thicker than water"

اللي فات مات
What is past is dead = "Let bygones be bygones"

القرد في عين أمه غزال
A monkey is a gazelle in the eye of his mother...

(my favorite)
ضربني وبكى، سبقني واشتكى
He hit me and cried, he raced me to complain = "The oppressor who says he's oppressed"

مثل الأطرش في الزفة
He is like a deaf man at a wedding procession = "A fish out of water"

غابت السباع ولعبت الضباع
When the lions are away, the hyenas play

(my other favorite )
يا مآمنة بالرجال هتل المي بالغربال
Having faith in men is like having faith that water will remain in a sieve


Those were Syrian proverbs I got from this website.
