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!
Celebrating Muslim architecture in my motherland India
To my first love
When you left me
To start your new life
I made you a Tajmahal
Not to rest in it
But to live in it
Not by marble
But by lots of smiles
By lots of good wishes
By lots of still- being- there
For a lover's vow
Is beyond jealousy
Is beyond everything

రాతిలా  నిలిచిన  రామ  చిలకమ్మా .
ప్రాణమే  పోయనా  రంగులే  అందించనా .
మాటలే  పలకని  మొహమాటమా .
మంత్రమే  వేయన  మంచిగా  బుజ్జగించనా.
దూరమే  తీరమై  సాగిందిగా .
నావపై  నీ  దరి  చేరనా .
నీ  కోపమే  భూగోలమంత   ఉందిగా .
చిన్నపాటి  నవ్వుతో  మాయచేయనా.
నీ  కరుణే  సముద్రమంత  లోతుగా .
అలల  నడుమున  నీకోసం  వచ్చేయనా.
మన్ను  పైన  కదిలాడే  సిరిసంపదవుగా .
Kohinoor కన్నా  మిన్న  నిన్ను  చేయనా .
Tajmahal లోని  శోభ  నీలోనుగా .
తేజ్ గా  నిన్ను  నా  వశం  చేయనా .
జయము  కోరి  నీవెంట  వచ్చానుగా.
జంకు  లేకుండా  ప్రేమ  సంపాందించనా .
తాంత్రిక  విద్యలైన  నేర్చుకోవాలిగా .
అహర్నిశలు  నువ్వు  నాతొ  ఉండేలానా .
దేవదారు  వృక్షం లాంటి  నిన్ను  చూడగానే .
నా  దేహమే  నీకోసం  బంధి  చేశా .  
ఆణువణువూ  నీ  పేరు  వినిపించేలా  నాలో  నేనే  మంత్రించేసానే  .­
ఈ  స్థితికి  నువ్వే  మందు  నా గతికి  నువ్వే  తోడూ .

He wears stars on his head
A smile on his face
With pretty doe eyes
He lights up my skies

He is strong enough to carry
Galaxies in his eyes
Those two black holes
Pulling all that go by
A trance all designed
in such a small space
Its a pleasure to get lost
And leave without a trace

He's an inspiration to write
A walking natural scenery
He's a never ending twilight
Like Aphrodite's finery

From his thick legs to thin waist
He's God's architectural masterpiece
Even Tajmahal looks flawed
So does Doric temples in Greece
A centre of attraction below his thin beckoning lips
His cute black mole - point of gravity's grip

Out of all the eras that existed
I'm blessed to live in his'
To live and to love the creation he is
For all that I wish upon
Is a life to live and love
And get enchanted by the beauty
Of the great Theias's son
Jk... All tym starboy

Clean and smooth ,both are,
***** and plate, keep on tightening till
Air displaces, vacuum sets in ,
And they are cold soldered
Life long!

Some do it passionately,
Maqbool Fida Husain ,  
Tajmahal erupts, by the witnessing Yamuna.

Not all, always, can
Do it ; end of Alma Tunnel is not
Explored beyond its ends, steps
Stop only few inches from
The entrance !

Rain pours in ,like,
Broken porcelain on watermelon,
Wind gusts in like hammer,
And the rock is made sand, if,
You can’t carve  Khajuraho  
With your head and heart.

Cold soldering, it works,
and doesn’t always,
depend , entirely on you.
