The Valentine Rose
Posturing his body
In a prayerful genuflection,
Out held a rose
His Majesty Saha Jahan
In a prayerful genuflection,
Out held a rose
His Majesty Saha Jahan
And with utmost care
Planted it
In the cheery hands
Of Her Grace Mumtaz,
In the cheery hands
Of Her Grace Mumtaz,
That has been blooming since,
Yet more gloriously,
Yet more gloriously,
As times move by,
On the monumental love
Of the Taj Mahal,
Whereas
On the monumental love
Of the Taj Mahal,
Whereas
In the lustrous gloom
Of the Nether
Of the Modern Valentines
Grows the 'merchandised rose'
For just one day,
On the defile dome
Of lies, lust and loans...
