"begum" poems
Mughal Emperor, Shahjahan
For the memory of his wife Arjumand Banu Begum
Made, a royal tomb-
Everyone knows it, called the "Taj Mahal",
Which stands on the banks of the Jamuna
With the scope of its vastness.
Beginning in 1832
It ended in 1853,
Thousands of artisans, architects, workers in 21 years
They were dedicated to its construction.
Ustad Ahmed Lahuri was
The original designer,
The white marble dome-shaped tomb-
Being a complex integral, architectural wonder.
Every year, millions of people flock
To see this archetype of love,
Everyone is overwhelmed to see-
In everyone’s heart, it’s unique to cut the stain of love.

Mum and Dad
By Abida Begum
Mum and Dad you have been there from the start, from the day i was born ,
the first breath i took in the scary world you always been there and never looked back.My tantrums and anger you never judged me for but the true beauty of my soul is why you are here
for without you i would have been scarce.
so thank you for teaching me right and wrong and the hate that i have got to turn it into a song
life will always be hard , i know but its the precious things in life that keep us so strong
fight back with actions not words prove to them that you have been worth it all along
work hard let the world know that you can do anything, yes its been told
i am writing this poem to let you know you have been worth it all along
so thank you for everything from the bottom of my heart
no words, no actions can prove this i know
so all i can say is how thankful i am mum and dad thank you for its all i can
all i can give you is my heart ,yet i know it will never always be enough , no amount of anything could show how amazing you both are
except these words that prolong in my heart
ill take it with me to my grave
yes i am scared of dying but you two are what is keeping me still standing
illl tell my kids how amazing you are with the hope that i will l be just as good as you both are.
