[She called khathim an Nabbiyyin Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)]
Kacha vadatheen ayachu,
(Sent as in charge of her trade expedition)
Kanda neram khalbinullil,
Mohamoudichu..Mohamoudichu..
At the first sight of him, She desired him,
Kachavaradum Kayinj,
Muthrasoolulla vann,
(After completing the expedition, Blessed Rasulullah came back)
Kaliyana aaalojanaikyaay
Beevi Thunij.. Beevi Thunij..
(To marry the Prophet was the Beevi desire)
Manikya malaraya poovi,
(A woman like a pearl flower)
Mahathiyam ka khadeeja Beevi,
