Once when The King Akbar

Announced a play in the town,

All the singers were asked

To try to come on the ground.

They needed to sing a song

That can attract a bull,

Everybody made their efforts

With song sweet and cheerful.

But the bull was busy in his world

And paid no attention to the song,

Then the stage was taken by Birbal

Who shouted like a King Kong.

He made strange voices

Rather irritating and unpleasant,

The bull turned his attention in anger

While others cheered "Brilliant!"

This way the King was happy

To see that Birbal again won,

And thought nothing before giving

Him the award for what he has done.

So that's how 'The Clever Birbal'

Proved himself the smartest of all,

And with his great skills, he won

The hearts of the crowd in the hall.
