Ode to a Chicken Bouillon (In Hindi)

Main ek murgi boullon hun
Charkone
Bhina chalna
Svadik dubl roti ki bacchi
Sigaret paper mein dafa
Dakan mein rak dekar dakat diya
Murgi zuup honevali
Koie mulligatawny
Koie daal
Mera kismet murgi pani hoga
Mujhe pani dekar moksha do

Translated into Hindi by Ms. Annie Ogborn www.pragatischool.org

I am a chicken bouillon
Square
Unmoving
A flavored crouton
Wrapped in tin foil
Sealed in a jar
Soup potential
Some people are minestrone
Some people are chowder
I am broth to be
Give me water and set me free

In the original English version written by Dan Allen
