Abdulwali and Amal

[Verse 1]
Abdulwali walked home slow
Dust on his sandals
Amal waited by the gate
Seven years in her eyes

He brought her dates and letters
She kept his name like gold
Every promise, every prayer
Close to her chest at night

[Pre-Chorus]
Sleepless nights, ya Allah
The moon knew their window
No betrayal in their love
Only the cruel road

[Chorus]
Abdulwali, Amal
Seven years, one heart
Abdulwali, Amal
Destiny pulled them apart

Abdulwali, Amal
Still the name remains
Abdulwali, Amal
Love that aches in vain

[Verse 2]
They swore by bread and salt
By the well and fig tree
By the smoke of morning bread
And the iron of work

But the season turned hard
And the path grew long
He went where the money called
She stayed where the tears fell

[Pre-Chorus]
Sleepless nights, ya Allah
The lamp burned down to ash
No betrayal in their love
Only the cruel road

[Chorus]
Abdulwali, Amal
Seven years, one heart
Abdulwali, Amal
Destiny pulled them apart

Abdulwali, Amal
Still the name remains
Abdulwali, Amal
Love that aches in vain

[Bridge]
He never loved another
She never opened her hands
To any other shadow
To any other man

Just the wall and the silence
Just the wound of the wait
And the oud kept crying
Like a friend at the grave

[Final Chorus]
Abdulwali, Amal
Seven years, one heart
Abdulwali, Amal
Destiny pulled them apart

Abdulwali, Amal
Still the name remains
Abdulwali, Amal
Love that aches in vain
