An Historical Place
Visits are a great source of information. When we go from one place to another, we are sure to learn a lot. Particularly, visits to historical places teach us so many things. Some times such places tell us stories better than the books on history. It is well said,
“Architecture is a frozen music” A visit to historical place is always valuable for a student. It enriches his Knowledge and increases
his vision. As it is said,
“All the history is the biography of great men”
Last Sunday, we decided to go for outing. I had not seen the tomb of Jahangir. So we agreed that this historical place should be visited. After two hours we reached there by bus. We were much exited. The magnificent Tomb of Jahangir was before our eyes. Tomb of Jahangir is situated at Shahdara, four miles away from Lahore. The four tall minarets of the tomb can be seen from a distance. On entering the gate we saw big grassy lawns on either side of the roads. The mausoleum is in a park enclosed by high walls. There were green grassy plots with fountains on either side of the passage. The parks were full of blooming flowers. They were spreading their fragrance all around. It was very charming sight. There were also some cool shady trees. Many birds were sitting in the twigs of these trees. They wee chirping. The flowers were presenting a colourful sight. In such an attractive atmosphere, I began to sing the beautiful verses of Keats:
Ah, happy, happy boughs that cannot shed Your leaves, nor ever bid the spring adieu.
In font of the tomb there was a beautiful fountain. It was sprinkling its light shower. The drizzling of drops produced a charming music. Soon afterwards, we entered the edifice that contains the grave of the emperor. The room was decorated with colourful designs. It is wonderful piece of Muslim architecture. We offered “Fateha” there. We went up to the terrace and had a view of the city of Lahore. It was a beautiful sight. The cool breeze and deep blue sky had a magical
