I find this saying quite interesting. In fact, it even has a couple equivalents in Tamazight.

A bu snat, bru i yiwet.
O, you who's married to two wives, better divorce one of them.

Another variant:
A bu snat, yiwet ad ak-tṛuḥ.
O, you who's married to two wives, be aware that you'll lose one of them.

Of course, the translation is literal and the Amazigh sayings themselves are very metaphorical. "Bu snat" literally means "he who has two", an allusion to a bigamous man, however, it could metaphorically mean "he who has two different things, he who holds two different things, he who undertakes two different projects at the same time."
