My beloved Explanation: HABEEBI refers to a male person. The female equivalent is HABEEBATI. The reason I am suggesting "my beloved" instead of the more idiomatic "darling" or "honey" is that no context has been provided. HABEEBI is a very general term that can be used in a romantic, familial, friendly, or even religious sense. For that reason, I chose the more generic expression "my beloved." Fuad |
