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...
