Intro - spoken over beatbox, grinning
Bismillah.
Maimouna. Quick question. Seven days.
You in?
Verse 1 - bouncy
Two doctors in a lab watched three thousand couples
Forty years of tape and they found out the trouble
It wasn't the money, it wasn't the fight
It was tiny little moments that we miss every night
(Astaghfirullah!) for the moments I missed
(Astaghfirullah!) let me start with this
Pre-Chorus - call and response
Did you know love's a skill? (A skill!)
Not a feeling that you wait on? (Wait on!)
Did you know it's the small things? (Small things!)
Not the big things we debate on?
Chorus - full harmonies, joyful
Alhamdulillah for a seven-day plan
Subhanallah, it's so simple, I can
La ilaha illallah on my tongue and my chest
And a question for my wife — are you ready for the test?
Verse 2 - playful
Day one, they say, you gotta turn toward me
When I sigh at the sink, that's a bid, don't ignore me
When you hum in the kitchen, that's a bid for you too
So here's my question — what's a bid that I blew?
(Sallallahu ala Muhammad) he smiled at his wives
(Sallallahu ala Muhammad) that's the model for our lives
Verse 3 - curious, leaning in
Day two is the big one — ask a question that's deep
Not "did you pay the bill" but "what's a dream that you keep?"
So Maimouna — if we had no fear and no debt
What's the one thing you'd build that you haven't built yet?
(Allahu Akbar) He's bigger than the bank
(Allahu Akbar) so let's dream, then give thanks
Chorus
Alhamdulillah for a seven-day plan
Subhanallah, it's so simple, I can
La ilaha illallah on my tongue and my chest
And a question for my wife — are you ready for the test?
Verse 4 - the turn, a little slower, still bouncing
Day three's "thank you," day four's "you look fine"
Day five's "I need" without "you never" or "you always" in the line
'Cause the doctors found the red flag, and it isn't the yelling —
It's when we start scanning for the wrong and stop telling
(La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah) I can't fix it alone
(Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakeel) but He's holding the phone
Bridge - spoken, warm, beatbox drops to a heartbeat
So here's my real question, ma belle.
Not "who was right."
What's one small thing I do that makes you feel seen?
...I'll go first. When you lower your voice, I come home.
Verse 5 - building, fun
Day six is a hand on the shoulder when I pass
Day seven's a date — no Omar, no tasks
(Bismillah) let's begin, (Alhamdulillah) let's end
Seven days, one wife, one very lucky man
Final Chorus - biggest harmonies, Omar can jump in
Alhamdulillah for a seven-day plan
Subhanallah, it's so simple, I can
La ilaha illallah on my tongue and my chest
Allah, Allah — You already know the rest
Outro - call and response fading, spoken last line
(Allah!) Allah! (Allah!) Allah!
Allahumma allif bayna qulubina.
Day one starts at dinner.
I'm bringing the questions. You bring the answers.
