Guardian Angel – Arabic Tattoo

Vanessa asks for the following Arabic tattoo design:

CAN U TRANSLATE GUARDIAN ANGEL IN ARABIC FOR ME PLEASE?!

Sure I can. My first intuition was to translate it as “ملك حارس” (malak Haaris). However, it seems that the alternative spelling “ملاك حارس” (malaak Haaris) is more common. This is partly due to the fact that this latter translation is also the title of a popular song by Ihaab Tawfeeq. While both spellings would be correct, I neverthless prefer the second one, due to its wider popularity.

  1. Just one more thing! I want tattoed on a vertical way, can you show me wich letter comes first?
    thanks!!!!

  2. @Vanessa
    I’m glad you like the design.

    Personally I wouldn’t go for an Arabic tattoo that is written from top to bottom, because all the connections between the letters are lost.

    See for yourself: “ملاك حارس” becomes:
    م
    ل
    ا
    ك
    ح
    ا
    ر
    س

    In my opinion, one of the reasons why the Arabic script is so beautiful is the fact that most Arabic letters are connected to the adjoining letters in a word. If you take the letters vertically, then this feature will be lost.

  6. Hi, my name is Amer and I’m arabian (Arabic) originally so Arabic is my mother tongue language.

    I think it’s better to write guardian angel like this (الملاك الحارس) because it gives a better and strong meaning than (ملاك حارس),it’s just an opinion and the both are right but in Arabic it’s not common to be used like that for a title or a tattoo like this case.

    I’m happy to see many foreign people interesting in Arabic and thank you Max for your site and you effort to learn Arabic to foreign people.

    I’m ready If there’s anything I can help you with.

    Sorry for my weak English.

    Salam (means Peace)

  7. Ahlan wa sahlan ya Amer!

    Thanks for your input on this. Your English is just fine, so don’t worry about it! I agree that more often than not putting the article “al” in front of an Arabic word is preferrable when we refer to it as a general concept. For example, الحبّ (al-Hubb) instead of just حبّ (Hubb). In the case of “guardian angel” الملاك الحارس (al-malaak al-Haaris) would be a viable alternative to my original translation. ملاكي الحارس (malaaki al-Haaris) could be another option and would translate as “my guardian angel”. As frequently with translation, there are many good alternatives.

    Please take a look around on my blog and leave more comments if you find anything interesting.

  8. Yes I think ملاكي الحارس is a better alternative but it depends on meaning, who is the guardian angel? 🙂

    Can we chat on Live Messenger?
