Pearl-like Jasmine
Shows all beauty
Always dancing daily
on the heads of lass
Wherever hidden
find it easily
spreading fresh scent
saying am here
Pleasing the eyes
Its scent mixes with wind
while on women’s head
making them proud
Wear it on our heads
we aren’t fortunate
wonder the men in angst
with the jasmine flower
