Tajmahal Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Agra the old city
Remnants of old glory
The pathways and roads
The busiest streets and shops
Agra the old city but important.

Agra the capital of Mughal emperors
Agra the fort of Mughal period
A beautiful fort with history
Still maintained in such care.

Agra the most important place
The great Taj Mahal, the musoleum
Constructed by the emperor shajahan
In memory of his wife Mumtas
The great world wonder now situates.

The history of Taj Mahal
Its construction, and supervisions
The beautiful architecture
The glorious past and downfalls
Of emperors and power struggles.

Taj Mahal the memories of workforce
Their talents and creativity
In such a period of manual works
When machines had not so popular.

The beautiful Yamuna and embankment Agra
Still there with their own memories
Emperors had gone for ever from India
But still Taj Mahal stands with beauty
And such glorious past of architecture
Nurtured and fulfilled the wishes
Of crowns and princes and emperors.

In the deepest of the mind comes
The woes and hardships of workforce
The sacrifice of their services
In a period of Autocracy prevailed.
The plight of common man of the period.
Only History can tell the facts.
