In the heart of Hyderabad, where spices dance,
A fragrant tale of biryani, a culinary trance.
Basmati grains, like pearls in a pot,
Hyderabadi biryani, where flavors are sought.

Saffron strands paint the rice with a glow,
Meat marinated, a symphony to bestow.
Cloaked in masalas, secrets unfold,
A masterpiece in each grain it holds.

Dum-cooked magic in earthen embrace,
Aromatic whispers, a royal grace.
Garnished with mint, a verdant crown,
Hyderabadi biryani, a feast renowned.

Each morsel, a journey through Nizam's court,
A blend of history and taste, an artful sport.
From Charminar echoes to modern day,
Hyderabadi biryani, a legacy to stay.

With every bite, a celebration of spice,
A palette of flavors, a fragrant vice.
In the kitchen's alchemy, tradition's glow,
Hyderabadi biryani, a culinary show.

So savor the symphony, let the spices align,
In the world of biryani, where memories entwine.
Hyderabad's gift, a gastronomic decree,
A poetic ode to Hyderabadi biryani.
