Taj Mahal-2 Poem by samyak jain

here lie
two lovers
in eternal sleep,
let
nobody
disturb them.

first and last,
they were lovers,
wife and husband
that
they were
is immaterial,
that
they were of
royal lineage
was accidental,

in the cloistered
royal environ,
love
transformed
itself into
celestial sublimity,
and
consumed the lovers.

let them sleep
the eternal sleep.
let nobody disturb them

the marble structure
that cradles the eternal lovers
is rewarded.
the world has
recognised
it
as
World's greatest
Monument to Love.
