Once when The King Akbar

Wanted to find out something odd

He commanded Birbal silently

To prepare a short report.

"Birbal go and find three men

Who are the most foolish,

In the entire world, you can find

This is what I desperately wish."

Birbal went on a trip and then

After a whole month, he returned

With just a single man with him

Is that all he has earned?

Akbar went angry, "what's this?

Have you got only one foolish man?"

"No My Lord, I have three men

Let me explain everything if I can?"

"Your Majesty, I found this man

He was travelling on a horse,

But had his luggage on his head

He's a total foolish, of course."

"He did so because he wanted

To not load the horse by the luggage,

So he didn't put it on the cart instead

On his head. He has no knowledge

Akbar agreed that he's the foolest

But was eager to know more,

Where are the rest of the fools?

And his anxiety Birbal can not ignore.

Jahanpannah, the second fool is me

Who have works pending to be done

But still, I went for a survey of fools

I consider myself a foolish person.

And I beg your pardon, My King

Because the third fool is you,

You have important stuff to think

I find you a fool, what should I do?

You want to know about fools

While you have to control,

Your gigantic kingdom

You shouldn't have time for such goals.

Akbar awestruck by the realization

Had his mouth wide open,

He is a fool, no doubt

And Birbal was just making his fun.

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.
