If there is a paradise on earth, it is this, it is this, it is this Is the inscription in the Red Fort throne room. This is also apparently the quote that every Mughal Emperor used everytime any building was contructed. I am not so sure about this quote. but the Wah Garden is naled for the fact that when the Emperor Jehangir was travelling to kashmir as he did every spring to avoid Delhi's summer he was breathtaken by the scenery of a particular piece of country side and he exclaimed "Wah" and ordered a garden to be built there. he stayed at the garden twice a year on his way to Kashmir and on his way back to Delhi. you can see the remnants of the garden today which is about an hours drive from Islamabad. This story might also be apocryphal but at least you can find it in Mughal annals.
