Historical heritage is a great asset of a country. The living nations always protect their historical traditions. They feel proud of these works of genius. Pakistani culture is rich in every respect. I love the whole Pakistan culture. The things that attract me the most in this respect are the historical building of Pakistan. Last summer, my friends and I made a programme to visit the historical places of Lahore. We started from Multan and reached Lahore in the twilight of evening. We spent a night in a hotel.
The next day, we were much excited. We decided to visit the tomb of jehangir. We hired a texi and reached the tomb. The four minarets of the tomb presenting a very majestic view. The tomb was surrounded by a wall. Its entrance was very beautiful. There was a park inside the wall. The park was full the blooming flowers. They were sperding thier fragrance all around. It was a very charming sight. There were some cool shady trees. Many birds were sitting in the twigs of these tree. They were chirping.
In front of tomb, there was a beautiful fountain. It was aprinkling its ligh shower. The drizzling of drops product a charming music. The place in the words of S. T. Coleridge was "A savage place--- holy and enchanted".
Soon afterwards, we entered the edifice that contains the grave of the emperor. There we pondered with over the mystery of death for sometime. The room was decorated with colourful designs. We offered "Fateha" and prayed to God to be bless the emperor with eternal blessing. The building itself is a wonderful piece of Muslim architecture.
We went up to terrace and had a view of city of Lahore. It was a beautiful sight. The cool breeze and deep blue sky had a magical effect on us. We came down and set under a tree to take some rest. We ate some eatable and drank cold drinks. We made some of the floral and mosaic design that we had seen in the chamber of the tomb. In the evening we returned to our hotel. Our minds were full of solemn thoughts. We were pondering over the mystery of death and the eternity of nature. We agreed with shakespeare;
"In Nature's infinite book of sucrecy A little I can read".
