On a sultry summer night I drag myself to bed
Tired, thoughts in disarray and quite upset
Suddenly a balmy breeze wafts an alluring aroma into my moonlit room
Fills me like magic, soothes my soul with Night Jasmine’s sweet perfume
With the blooms unfurling, a silent sorrow gently shed, I think of you, my dearest departed
And the memories we made, like the fragrance forever implanted
In the stillness of the night with the Jasmine’s scent so strong
I feel your presence around me, like a gentle, loving song
Memories unleashed, I go back to those sweet scented days
When we chanted our love songs at the peak of our heydays
The Night Jasmine that you planted, when it blossomed with flowers
With an innocuous smile, you gathered those twinkling ivory white flowers and stringed them for hours
You came to me, your tresses adorned with pristine Jasmine’s garland grace
Now lies in my memories’ garden, a bittersweet delicate place
From the open calyxes wafted the scent so intoxicating
I was drunk in the moment, held you close with my heart fast beating
Oh, how I yearn for those moments when love was in its prime
But like the fleeting Jasmine our time together was only a brief rhyme
You have left behind your aroma in the celestial fragrance of the Nocturnal Jasmine
As I look back at those days, I live it over again, a love that’s truly divine.
