The Taj Mahal as an emblem of love has occupied Bengali literature for a long time. Here is a song with lyrics by Miltu Ghosh which uses the Taj as a metaphoric memorial for a loved one to remember the loss of her beloved, adorning her mind's Taj with the jewels and the sweet nectar of her love.
Ek Tajmahal Goro - (Lyricist original Bengali: Miltu Ghosh)
Translation  © 2019 MRC
Build a Tajmahal, dear
Inside your heart, if I should be lost.
So what if the Jamuna flows not by it
Capture Jamuna with your loving eyes.
Build a Tajmahal, dear
Inside your heart, if I should be lost.
So what if it is not studded with
Rubies and emeralds
Cover it with your ardor
Enrobe it with the jewels of love
Make it even more beautiful-
Build a Tajmahal, dear
Inside your heart, if I should be lost.
