Ajeeb was a chess-playing "automaton", created by Charles Hooper (a cabinet maker), first presented at the Royal Polytechnical Institute in 1868. A particularly intriguing piece of faux mechanical technology (while presented as entirely automated, it in fact concealed a strong human chess player inside), it drew scores of thousands of spectators to its games, the opponents for which included Harry Houdini, Theodore Roosevelt, and O. Henry. The device's name was derived from the Arabic/Urdu/Persian word عجيب (ʿajīb) meaning "wonderful, marvelous."
The genius behind "Ajeeb" were players such as Harry Nelson Pillsbury (1898–1904),Albert Beauregard Hodges, Constant Ferdinand Burille,Charles Moehle, and Charles Francis Barker.
In the history of such devices, it succeeded "The Turk" and preceded "Mephisto".

Yeh Ajooba Hua Kaisa Kamaal
Jeet Gaye Sab Aur Ho Gaye Malamaal
Yeh Ajooba Hua Kaisa Kamaal
Jeet Gaye Sab Aur Ho Gaye Malamaal
Dekh Tere Yeh Gaanv Ki Haalat Kya Ho Gayi Bhagwaan
Rukhi Sukhi Khate The Woh Baant Rahe Pakwaan
Baar Baar Na Aaye Mauka
Zordaar Mara Hai Chauka
Khabardaar Jo Kisi Ne Roka
Kar Denge Halaal
Malamaal Weekly Yeh Hai Malamaal Weekly Ka Kamaal
Dil Deewana Huan Hai Bekaraar
Ab Chahe Ruthe Duniya Karna Hai Tujhse Pyar
Dil Deewana Huan Hai Bekaraar
Ab Chahe Ruthe Duniya Karna Hai Tujhse Pyar
Badla Badla Yeh Mausam Dekho Badle Badle Armaan
Pyar Mein Jeena Pyar Mein Marna Kasam Li Hai Meri Jaan
Jaan Gayi Jo Duniya Saari Pyar Kiya Nahi Chori Chori
Dil Diya Ab Jaan Bhi Haari Bigda Mera Haal
Yeh Ajooba Hua Kaisa Kamaal
Jeet Gaye Sab Aur Ho Gaye Malamaal
Dekh Tere Yeh Gaanv Ki Haalat Kya Ho Gayi Bhagwaan
Rukhi Sukhi Khate The Woh Baant Rahe Pakwaan
Boon Boond Paani Ke Pyaase
Dhoom Dhoom Ab Coldrink Peete
Ghoom Ghoom Jo Bheek Maange
Ho Gaye Malamaal
