شُبٍّ الى دُبٍّ, Thou hast wearied me from the time of thy becoming a youth until thy walking gently, [or creeping along, resting] upon a staff: (M, K, * TA:) a prov.: (M, TA:) said alike to a man and to a woman. (TA in article شب.) And فَعَلْتَ كَذَا مِنْ شُبَّ إِلَى دُبَّ and من شُبٍّ الى دُبٍّ
Thou hast done thus from youth until thy walking gently, [or creeping along, resting] upon the staff. (S.)
