Lust and thrones-I

Listen! Listen! Oh, People of India!!
Let's revisit a story from our mediaeval past.
A story of invasion, exploitation, lust and Power.
 
This is a story of Emperor Shahjahan and his sex paranoia.
His hypersexual nature overtook his love very fast.  
His perversion was known from royal palace to every bazaar.
 
Had many wives and sex slaves.
Married Mumtaz Mahal,his favourite wife.
 
Such was his thirst, his stamina ,his mania,
On 14th delivery at young age, Mumtaz breathed last.
Emperor wept; People thought he will introspect after this scar.
 
remorsed,cried for days.
Ordered to build Taj Mahal in her memory.
 
He ultimately found the way to end his hysteria.
His daughter was mirror image of Mumtaz, with no contrast.
Though haram but it was the best solution by far.
 
Slept with daughter, kept Harem busy.
Raped other women with the help of daughter.
 
A European traveler asked if it is allowed in Sharia.
Emperor replied that a gardener has the first right on fruit,not the last.
It's not allowed but everything is fair in love and war.
(Story of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan's sexlife)
