Zamilooni (Nashid)

Nashid : Native Deen

 He stepped inside his home, and he overwhelmed with fear
 An angel came with words from God, things were still unclear
 Saying read - read, but he couldn't read, then 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 It 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 had 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
  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.
  Message of the one true God, was spreading far and vast
  But then he came across a necklace, 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 enimies were cruel
  Was the first believer, so keen and eager, to comfort al-Rasool

  Chorus
   Mawlaya salli wa sallim da'iman abada 'Ala habibika khayril khalqi kullihimi
  (O my Leader, send your salutations and blessings forever Upon Your Beloved, the best of the    whole of creation)
