Tajmahal Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

Tajmahal



You must have seen the Taj Mahal,
One of the wonders of the globe.
Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan
Constructed it in 1632
In combination with
Islamic, Persian, Turkish
And Indian arts
As a token of love
In the memory of his third wife
Mumtaj Mahal.

When I saw it first time
In the full moon night at Agra
I was overwhelmed
And wished to build a similar Taj Mahal
For my wife too.
But I am not an emperor
So finally, I bought a nice model of it
Made of beautiful white stone
From the government shop
And presented her as a gift.

It was her birthday
She became very happy
Hugged me
kissed On my forehead.
It was my return gift.
And very important to me
Because What I got presenting a model
Shah Jahan did not get
Even after making original one
emptying his treasury.
