“Jannat ʿala Nafsiha” (جنت على نفسها) — short for the classic Arabic proverb “Jannat ʿala Nafsiha Barāqish” (جنت على نفسها براقش). “brought it on thyself” or “she brought it upon herself.”

The story goes back to Barāqish, a loyal guard dog in pre-Islamic Arabia. When her tribe was in hiding, she barked and unintentionally revealed their location, leading to their downfall. The phrase became a timeless reminder that sometimes, one’s own actions bring about their misfortune. A powerful proverb turned into wearable art—bold, cultural, and meaningful.
