The song "قارئة الفنجان - The Fortune Teller", is one of Abdel Halim Hafez's prominent performances, known for the beauty of its lyrics and his distinctive performance. The song embodies the story of "The Fortune Teller" who uses coffee and the cup to predict the future (Based on the tradition of flipping a coffee Finjan once it's done to initiate a "reading"). The song talks about the meeting of the lovers and how their destiny is tied to the outcomes of cup reading. The song expresses feelings of love, anticipation, and expectations. 

  • English:
She sat down, with fear in her eyes
Pondering my upside down cup
She said: "Son, don't be sad"
"As love is what's written/destined for you"

-Nizar Qabbani (Performed by Abdel-Halim Hafez)
  • Arabic:
جلسَت والخوف بعينيها
تتأمل فنجاني المقلوب
قالت يا ولدي لا تحزن
فالحب عليك هو المكتوب
