Lyrics

You 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 Khadija, his wife. He said, Zammi looni, Zammi looni, Daffi rooni, Daffi rooni, A mighty task has come before me, I need you here with me, by my side, by my side, by my side. She was a woman of nobility, successful in all her dreams. Many wealthy men had asked for her, she turned them all away. But when she saw Muhammad's 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 never there. She would comfort him, and hold him tight, and chase his doubts away. When he said, Zammi looni, Zammi looni, Daffi rooni, Daffi rooni, A mighty task has come before me, I need you here with me, by my side, by my side, by my side. We look for stories of love, in places dark and cold. But when we have a guiding light for the whole world to behold, 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, when times were bad. No years have passed, times have changed since Khadija breathed her last. And the message of the one true God was spreading far and vast. But then he came across some jewelry that Khadija had once worn. His eyes began to swell with tears, his heart began to mourn. Cause she was there for him when the times were rough and his enemies were cruel. She was the first believer, so keen and eager to comfort our Rasul. When he said, Zammi looni, Zammi looni, Daffi rooni, Daffi rooni, A mighty task has come before me, I need you here with me, by my side, by my side, by my side. Thank you. [Applause]
