my dream Taj Mahal
a monument of love,
built of noble marble;
A building of superlatives;
upon which the world gazes with delight!
The silhouette of Agra within reach;
located on the banks of the Yamuna.
The mausoleum for Mumtaz Mahal
receives infinite blessings from the gods!
For it was planned with an ardent heart;
and erected by honest, industrious hands.
Shah Jahan, the Emperor, has admonished;
that nothing in life matters anymore :
As unconditional love of pure hearts,
even if he was a stronger ruler himself!
Her death causes him such pain
she stared when she gave birth to a child!
He withdrew into solitude;
Gone were domination and lust for battle!
One day he was ready to die;
they buried him next to her!
