Bakawali flower rare and mysterious
Fascinate, mesmerize a wonder curious
Grow you as the embodiment of my love
Ancient as the moon's pull from up above
Elegantly sprouts on the body of a cactus
Collecting water like knowledge to feed us
Some may enjoy the fruits of a blushing rose
Velvet doesn't cower when the wind blows
Roses are brave and honored in romance
Bakawali waits for God's arduous patience
White petals release an intoxating fragrance
Only fortunate eyes can be present to glance
The shy flower has one life of pure intensity
It chooses the right moment to show its glory
Glowing in the cold darkness of quiet night
Burning so deeply from within with all its might
Unlike other flowers that will inevitably fade
Reality of time and passion eventually invade
Wrinkle and shrivel when their time has passed
Hardened they leave you with their flaky dust
Bakawali manifests for a few precious hours
Explodes into your soul with devine powers
Infuses into every part of your heart forever
Always glorious in beauty to leave you never
