Charminar

The sentry who quietly watched,
the racing ages in time
standing tall and firm
in the heart of the city.
The gigantic arches;
the minarets kissing the clouds
the windows, exquisite carved
the grandiloquent mughali ambience
Four gates on four sides
inviting towards the corridor
A fountain at the center
jetting water towards the roof
Quli's dream of a new city
away from the ills of plague
gifted the world a priceless marvel,
the Charminar..
