Zamilooni (featuring Zain Bhikha)

He stepped inside his home, he was overwhelmed with fear
 An angel came with words from God, things were still unclear
 Saying read - read, but he could not read, amazing words that he heard
 A trembling deep inside his heart, confused by what had occurred
 There was only one who could comfort him
 To help him see the light
 To ease his fears, to reassure
 Was khadijah, his wife...
 Chorus
 He said Zamilooni, Zamilooni, tathirooni, tathirooni, (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
 But she would comfort him, and hold him tight, and chase his doubts away
 Chorus
 He said Zamilooni, Zamilooni, tathirooni, tathirooni, (Envelop me, Embrace me)
 A mighty task has come before me...
 I need you here with me...
 By my side...
 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 we're so selfish in our ways, 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, the times were bad...
 Now years have passed, times have changed, since khadijah breathed her last.
 And the Message of the one true God, was spreading far and vast
 But then he came across some jewellery, that khajidah had once worn
 His eyes began to swell with tears, his heart began to mourn
 Cause she was there for him, when times were rough, and his enemies were cruel
 She was the first believer, so keen and eager, to comfort ar-Rasool
 Chorus
 He said Zamilooni, Zamilooni, tathirooni, tathirooni, (Envelop me, Embrace me)
 A mighty task has come before me...
 I need you here with me...
 By my side...
 Mawlaya salli wa sallim da'iman abada
 'Ala habibika khayril khalqi kullihimi...(X4)
 Rasullullah, Habiballlah, Shafiallah, Nabiallah
 chorus
 He said Zamilooni, Zamilooni, tathirooni, tathirooni, (Envelop me, Embrace me)
 A mighty task has come before me...
 I need you here with me...
 By my side...
