TAJ MEHAL
For you Taj may be symbol of love’s manifestation
You may have crazy faith for this vale of attraction
O beloved meet me somewhere else from this station
No reason for being the poor in royal congregation.
Testimony of magnificent aristocracy in the way
Whereupon lovelorn spirit travel is of no justification.
O my beloved, in the backdrop of bulletin of love
You must have at least seen the elegant vestiges?
Fondling with the tombs of expired emperors
You must have at least seen your hopeless houses.
Countless people have loved in this world.
Who says that they were not true to their stand? But
they were without the means of message.
Because those people like ourselves were in need.
These superstructures, monuments & forts
Glorifying pillars of sovereign’s rulers.
On the face of the world that architecture
wherein our ancestor’s blood combine together.
My beloved, those were also having deep love.
Who imparted the beauty to this tomb of marble?
No traces of the graves of those dearest ones.
So far no one has come to light over a candle.
This orchard, palace & bank of Jamuna’s river
This carved, painted walls domes & arches.
One emperor on the basis of state exchequer
He mocked at the sincere love of poor peoples.
