The English name,
originates from Arabic fame
5000 years
Cooling properties,
in hot desert glares
Pyramids in sight,
Originally from Egypt,
that's right
Skin
Hair
Fingernails and fabrics
Silk wool and leather full
Some scholars claim,
the earliest documentation,
of henna gain,
is found in ancient Indian,
texts and images proclaim,
Indicating that mehandi,
as an art form,
may have originated,
in ancient India at dawn
