OCR: From the royal palace of Shah-Jahan Padshah Fifth ruler of the Moghul Empire 1650, India In honor of my most-loved wife My beloved wife. Nearly 25 years have passed since your death, yet you still dwell in my heart and thoughts. Of the wives I have known, you Mumtaz Mahal, were my shining star. So it was that after your death, I ordered a magnificent monument to be built in Agra in your honor. Now, after two decades and the labors of 20,000 workers, it is complete. This monument is named the Taj Mahal-crown of the palace-in your memory.
