Mumtaz Quotes

“But Mehrunnisa did not know then, would never know, by giving her blessings to this marriage she had set into progress a chain of events that would eventually erase her name from history's pages. Or that Arjumand would become the only Mughal woman posterity would easily recognize. Docile, seemingly tractable and troublesome Arjumand would eclipse even Mehrunnisa, cast her in a shadow...because of the monument Khurram would build in Arjumand's memory - the Taj Mahal.”
― Indu Sundaresan, The Feast of Roses

“As my gaze sank into
the majestic marble mausoleum,
a chill breeze, rebounding off pale stone walls,
swept past and brushed my spirit;
Mumtaz’s trembling spirit entered me,
achingly knocking upon my soul.”
― Sanu Sharma
