Altın Yaprak
A rare flower,
That blooms on trees,
At a height well above the ground
Tantalising flowers of fine fragrance,
Attracting the earth to look up with awe,
Tempting the breeze to stop by
And carry the scent far and beyond.
She is Magnolia Champaca
This sweet flower exotica is
Adorned by the beautiful Radhika-
The romantic love of Lord Krishna!
The Indian Poets sing the praises of
The ‘Swarna Champa' or ‘Son Champa',
The golden yellow flower of perfume.
Radhika is ‘Janani'
The Mother Goddess!
The most adored Radhika,
The Goddess of pure love,
The sweet heart of the divine Flute Player.
When Radhika adorns the Champaka
Even the Bees do not hover around the flowers.
The Bees respect the Champaka
For she is their Goddess;
They do not fly up the tree,
Nor disturb these royal flowers,
Never touch her or trouble her.
They just breathe in the fragrance
And enjoy the beauty with reverence.
