On Top of our house there is Nagfani plant, this Nagfani protects us every day.  

At courtyard, there is Nagfani plant; this Nagfani protects us every day.

At corner of Kitchen garden there is Nagfani plant; this Nagfani protects us every day.

Wherever there is Nagfani plant, as Nagfani eradicates black magic, this Nagfani protects us every day.
