Moghuls, we know, were famous,
They invented good things;
Go on, but you can't shame us,
They were once mighty kings!

The days before the Moghuls,
Were dark as moonless nights;
They gave us shiny goggles,
With built-in serial lights!
The land was then just sand dunes,
The Moghuls gave us farms;
An app, also, on iTunes,
That warned of pests and harms!

The produce, when it withered,
They rotated our crops;
The Moghuls never dithered,
They pulled out all the stops!
We people, we were uncouth,
We ate uncooked, raw food;
The Moghuls, with their sweet tooth,
Gave us tomatoes stewed!

"What is it that you're eating?"
Asked Moghuls with surprise;
They taught us about heating,
And gave us flavored rice!
We drank our water muddy,
The Moghuls gave us Kent;
And also coffee and tea,
Which, sure, they did invent!

When nature's call came later,
No one knew what to do;
They gave us toilet paper,
And constructed the loo!
The smelly rags that we wore,
The Moghuls simply sighed;
They told us, "Worry no more,"
And gave us all some Tide!

Our unkempt hair was crazy,
It looked like wild bamboo;
The Moghuls, never lazy,
Gave us, instead, shampoo!
Our kids, with noses running,
When Moghuls saw them said:
Your apathy is stunning;
And gave us Vicks instead!

"They need to go to school too,"
The Moghuls said with love;
"Let them too learn some Urdu,
So they can aim above."
Our songs, back then, were goofy,
Just banging drums and bricks;
The Moghuls gave us Sufi,
And taught us cultured tricks!

Even huts, we knew not how,
But they built forts and tombs,
If they had not built them, now,
From where would Modi boom?
From loudspeakers and veg puff,
To democratic polls;
The Moghuls gave us enough,
Even to thankless trolls!

Moghuls, we know, are famous,
They invented nice things;
Go on, but you can't shame us,
They once were naughty kings! //
