Sing a Song of Tajmahal

Sing a song of Taj Mahal A landmark of lovers And a lover's edifice With medieval bowers Tis a mecca for tourists Tis sensational, tis exceptional, tis truly a touristy place Watch the shine and shimmer of its magnificent marbled dome By the glimmer of moonlight or sunlight, it's imperial chrome So it's ironical then that though Indian I am I haven't yet been to this touristy place It is truly as they must say, a lover's shrine A place where hearts tend to incline They find it steamy I find it dreamy Oh I've to see for myself this touristy place. Each of the marbled minarets conceal some romantic secrets For lovers to silently explore To admire and to adore A place few lovers could ignore Ah, you've got to visit this touristy place Two famed lovers lie in the legendary vault below and the stream too has a romantic flow A lover's haven, a paradise on earth Even dead passions there undergo a new rebirth Ah rekindle my love in this touristy place! Extol I may this awesome imposing edifice A greed for pure love is perhaps better than avarice So sing a song of Taj Mahal A nice nazm or a great ghazal So forever we have this monumental grace Ah take me my love to this touristy place! (Sing to the tune of sing a song of six pence...

Wel methinks be it d colonialists, the mongols,or the Romans, many of d historic rulers were into cruel treatment, so i wont b surprisd if dis was true for d mughals too.
