Who would best describe its splendour and beauty?
The edifice; immortalized by love eternal
Of man and woman; surpassed even death
He had created the “Crown of Palaces”
For his great love for his wife
Gazing at the marvellous monument
A sight to wonder; a sigh within
Grief, sadness, love eternal...rolled into one
The great love of Shah Jahan towards Mumtaz Mahal is
beyond words
The grief-stricken soul; longing for his beloved
It sings, for his dear love
The music; lingers within
Even today, we still hears his calling
“ Should guilty seek asylum here
Like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin
Should a sinner make his way to this mansion
All his past sins are to be washed away
The sight of this mansion creates a sorrowing sighs
And the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes
In this world this edifice has been made
To display thereby the creator’s glory.”
-Emperor Shah Jahan
(described the Taj Mahal)
