Sing a song of Taj Mahal

Sing a song of Tajmahal    
a fine nazm or a ghazal  
Of this landmark for lovers    
Ah, a lover's edifice    
Complete with medieval bowers    
It's a Mecca for tourists!    
Tis sensational, tis exceptional    
tis truly a touristy place.    
   
Watch the shimmer of its magnificent marbled dome    
Moonlight or sunlight, it glimmers of imperial chrome    
It's ironical then    
that though Indian-Arabian 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 duly incline    
They find it steamy    
I find it dreamy    
Oh, I've got to see for myself this touristy place.    
   
Each of the marbled minarets    
conceal such romantic secrets    
for lovers to silently explore    
to admire and to adore    
A place human lovebirds couldn't ignore.    
Ah you've got to visit this touristy place!    
   
Two famed lovers lie in the legendary vault below    
and the stream too it has a romantic flow    
It's a lovers haven and paradise on earth    
Even dead passions there undergo a rebirth    
Ah, rekindle my love for you in this touristy place!    
   
Extol I may this awesome imposing edifice    
A greed for pure love is perhaps better than avarice    
Löng live the legend of Shah jahan and Mumtaz mahal    
Long live love and love like a Moghul    
so forever we have this monumental grace!    
Yeah take me my luv to this touristy place!
