How to say “the heart” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فَإِنَّ آخِرَ مَرَاتِبِ الْحُبِّ هُوَ التَّتِيمُ وَأَوَّلُهُ العَلَاقَةُ لِتَعَلُّقِ القَلْبِ بِالْمَحْبُوبِ
So indeed, the final rank of love is orphanhood, and its first is attachment for the attachment of the heart to the beloved.
الْقلب — the heart. A definite noun 'the heart' governed in the genitive as the doer within the action-noun 'clinging'. An action-noun keeps its own subject in the genitive, so this names whose clinging is meant.
