Lyrics:

He stepped inside his home, so he overwhelmed with fear

An angel came with words from God, things were still unclear

Saying read - read, but he couldn't read, amazing words he heard

A trembling deep inside his heart, confused by what had occurred

There was only one who could comfort him

And help him see the light

To ease his fears, to reassure

Was khadijah, his wife

Chorus

He said Zamilooni, Zamilooni, Dathirooni, Dathirooni, (Envelop me, Embrace me)

A mighty task has come before me

I need you here with me

By my side

She was a woman of nobility, successful in all her trade

Many wealthy men had asked for her, she turned them all away

But when she saw Muhammad, a shining moon, may peace be on his soul

He was a light for her, so right for her, her life will now be whole

But she had never seen him so distressed, as he was there that day

She would comfort him, and hold him tight, and chase his doubts away

Chorus

Bridge

We look for stories of love, in places dark and cold

When we have a guiding light, for the whole world to behold

But were so selfish in our ways, and to the ones we hold so close

Our own pleasure and happiness is what we value most

But she sacrificed all her wealth and everything she had

And he honored her, and gave her faith,

when the times were bad, when times were bad...

Now years have passed, times had changed, since khadijah breathed her last.

And the Message of the one true God, was spreading far and fast

But then he came across a jewellery, that khajidah once had worn

His eyes began to swell with tears, his heart again began to mourn

Cause she was there for him, when times were rough, and his enemies were cruel

Was the first believer, so keen and eager, to comfort ar-Rasool

Chorus

Mawlaya salli wa sallim da'iman abada

'Ala habibika khayril khalqi kullihimi...Rasullullah

(O my Leader, send your salutations and blessings forever

Upon Your Beloved, the best of the whole of creation)
