Abdel Halim's big screen debut was "Lahn El Wafa" ("The Song of Faithfulness"), in which he starred with Shadia. He starred in twenty films, including "Dalilah", which was Egypt's first colored motion picture.

شفت الحب بيبكي ويضحك . ماله عيون وشفايـــــــــــــــف
بس لو الاقي اللي احبه . واللي قلبي يروح لقلبــــــــــــــــــه
واللي ترتاح روحي جنبه . يومها عمري ما ابقى خايـــــــف
خايف اني احب وخايف ينسى الحب . يوم يقابلنــــــــــــــي
خايف اجرب خايف اهرب . خايف اقـرب يبعد عنــــــــــي
ناس من الحب شافوا اسيه . وناس اتهنـــــــــــــــــــــــــــوا
خايف يقســـــــــــــى الحــــــب عـــلي . خايــــف منــــــــه
بس لو الاقي اللي احبه . واللي قلبي يروح لقلبــــــــــــــــــه
واللي ترتاح روحي جنبه . يومها عمري ما ابقى خايـــــــف
الدقيقه من حياة الحب عمر . في عذابه وفــ هنـــــــــــــــــاه
الابتسامه من شفايف الحب فجر . يسعد العاشق ضيــــــــــاه
كل كلمة من كلام الحب امر . لسه ماسمعتش نــــــــــــــــداه
اندم لو حبيت وقسيــــــــت . وانــــدم لو عمري ماحبيـــــت
بس لو الاقي اللي احبه . واللي قلبي يروح لقلبــــــــــــــــــه
واللي ترتاح روحي جنبه . يومها عمري ما ابقى خايـــــــف
The lyrics to Abdel Halim Hafez's "Khayef Mara Aheb" (I'm Afraid to Love) express the singer's fear of love and the potential pain that comes with it. He begins by acknowledging that he knows what it feels like to love, but his heart is still afraid. He has seen love bring both laughter and tears and feels lost in its unpredictable nature. He longs to find someone he loves and who reciprocates those feelings so that he can feel safe and at peace in their union. He is afraid that if he falls in love, he might be forgotten or that the love might fade away with time. However, he recognizes that the minute he finds true love, his fears will vanish, and he will never be afraid to love again.
The song delves deep into the complex emotions of love and the fears that come with it. Hafez's voice brings a sense of vulnerability and authenticity, making the lyrics come alive. The idea that love can be both a source of happiness and pain is not a new concept, but Hafez's delivery makes it feel fresh and relatable.

خايف مره احب وعارف . ليه انا قلبي خايـــــــــــــــــــــف
I am afraid to love and I know why, my heart is always afraid
شفت الحب بيبكي ويضحك . ماله عيون وشفايـــــــــــــــف
Love can make you both cry and laugh, it has no eyes but it can see
بس لو الاقي اللي احبه . واللي قلبي يروح لقلبـــــــــــــــــه
But if I find the one I love, and my heart goes to his heart
واللي ترتاح روحي جنبه . يومها عمري ما ابقى خايـــــــف
And my soul is at peace with him, then I will never be afraid again
خايف اني احب وخايف ينسى الحب . يوم يقابلنــــــــــــــي
I'm afraid to love and afraid he'll forget, the day he meets me
خايف اجرب خايف اهرب . خايف اقـرب يبعد عنــــــــــي
I'm afraid to try, afraid to run, afraid to get close and then he'll go away
ناس من الحب شافوا اسيه . وناس اتهنـــــــــــــــوا
Some people saw misery in love, and others found happiness
خايف يقســـــــــــــى الحــــــب عـلي . خايــــف منــــــــه
I'm afraid love will be hard on me, I'm afraid of it
واندم لو حبيت وقسيــــــــت . وانــــدم لو عمري ماحبيــــت
I regret if I loved and was mistreated, and I regret if I never loved
الدقيقه من حياة الحب عمر . في عذابه وفــ هنـــــــــــــــــاه
A minute of love is a lifetime, in both its pain and pleasure
الابتسامه من شفايف الحب فجر . يسعد العاشق ضيــــــــــاه
A smile from the lips of love is a dawn, that makes the lover happy
كل كلمة من كلام الحب امر . لسه ماسمعتش نــــــــــــــــداه
Every word of love is a matter, I haven't heard them all yet
