Champa

If want to make night dreams fragrant
garden ornamental and wet in scent;
ensure Champa is there.

In temple at worship you wish to offer
In weddings, festivals need the flowers
ensure champa is there.

Honey bees can't know what's here
girls go aromatic with Champa in hair
ensure champa is there.

If you want vampires and ghosts
Play their mischief in cemetery itself
ensure Champa is there.

Contained five elements in our body
Champa holds five petals to signify
ensures champa is there.
