umm.. as far as i know this song has nothing to do with the koran but i guess that would be because i don't really know anything about the koran. but yes, xfmjunky is pretty much exactly right. this is the exact song sung by ormus, which he made in the beginning of the novel for vina and then added the alternate lines (the ones at the bottom of the previous entry) when he sang the song later when he learned she had died.
overall, the ground beneath her feet might be my favorite salman rushdie novel, or novel in general at that. and i love this song because it reminds me so much of the book
