"Granny, we are leaving her safely to your place." "Not alone but with interest." "Your daughter has won the.." "..the music competition trophy this year too." "Take this." "I knew that no one else could win against my Shabbo." "Okay dear, we take your leave now." "Bye bye." "Granny!" " Shabbo." " Today I enjoyed a lot in college." "The boys in my college asked me to sing over and over again." "Beti, the boys in college are like that." "Don't listen to them." "Then there was a crazy boy who said he was madly in love with me." "Wretch!" " Then he winked and said: "Darling!"" "What?" "He winked at you?" "Yes granny, but his style was so romantic that I couldn't get angry at him." "Another flirt actually held my hand and said let's elope and.." "..get married." "And if you won't come I'll take you away by force." "And you kept listening to all this quietly?" "Didn't you tell him anything?" "I did. I told him there is no need to carry me away." "I will come with you willingly." " Shameless!" "Couldn't you find anyone else to play your jokes on?" "Let your mother come, this time I'm going to tell her that, .." "..I can't take care of you any longer." "23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, only four days left for mom to come." "This time I will not let her go back." "I'll also go with her. I can't live without her anymore." "And you think your mom can live without you?" "Just like you she also must be suffering without you." "If she wished, she wouldn't have kept you away from her heart?" "But what can she do?" "She is helpless." "Your stepfather is such a rascal." "Yes, I know." "Sometimes when Nissar comes to take mom.." "..I don't like it." "He gives me dirty looks." "I get very scared of him." "He must be also troubling my mother a lot." "Because whenever she comes here she looks very sad." "She says, "You complete your studies and get married." "So that I can die peacefully." "After that I'll not show my face to anyone."" "Granny, why does she talk like that?" "Poor thing, she has gone through a lot of hardships." "The world has troubled her a lot." "Beti, she is living only for you or else.." "Telegram, madam." "You're unnecessarily getting worried." "See, it's from you mother." "Granny!" " What happened, Shabbo?" "Mother is very ill." " Mother is ill!" "Come on, carry my luggage." "Nissar hasn't come yet?" "Shabana, how are you?" "How is mother?" "Not very well, but now that you have come.." "..everything will be fine." " ls Najma in the hospital?" "No, she is at home." "What?" "At home?" "!" " Yes, she is at home." "My home and my workplace are one and the same." "Coolie!" "Coolie!" "Granny, why is Nissar wearing such strange clothes?" "Beti, today he is dressed in his true form." "Be brave." "God knows what state your mother is in?" "Come to the market of the beloved's henna." "Come with the sweet sound of money." "The henna of feet and the pink color of the face are sold here." "Come here to buy love or to lose your heart to someone." "Nissar, from where did you bring her?" "From the heaven!" "You can see her in the night!" "This is the place to fun, come on!" "Come to the market of the beloved's henna." "Mother!" " Mother!" "Najma, open the door." "Look what a beauty Shabana has brought with her." "Get up and sing a nice song in her honor." "I have come to return your youth to you." "I always praised you for your youth." "Today you praise your daughter for her youth." "No!" "Mother, no" "You've given life, now I can also end it for you." "But, please don't deprive me of your love, I'm feeling choked, mother." "Open the door, mother." "Let me come close to you." "Najma, open the door!" "It isn't good to be so stubborn!" "Embrace her once and all your sorrows will vanish!" "Nissar Miyan!" "Nissar Miyan!" "Najma has jumped from the window!" "Najma fell down?" " Mother!" "Shabana." " Granny, forty days have passed since mother died.." "..prepare to return to Bombay tomorrow." "What are you going to do in Bombay?" "I have removed your name from your college." "You removed my name from college?" "Yes, your name has been transferred to this shop." "From today you will take your mother's place in this brothel." "Your anger reminds me of your mother." "You scoundrel!" " Shabana!" "I'm letting you go this time." "If you ever try to move your limbs I'll remove your skin and sell it." "Now, open your ears and listen to me." "From today you're not Shabana." "You're Bai Shabana Jaan." "I have sold you to the rich Jafar Ali for Rs. 10,000." "He'll come tonight to inspect you." "No!" "Granny, what's nonsense is he talking?" "!" "He's right, where will you go leaving your mother's brothel?" "Granny!" " Yes dear, by leaving the beloved's henna.." "..one doesn't lose the color of this market." "One's background is always written over one's face." "If prostitute's daughter will not become a prostitute.." "..will she become a Princess?" "I'm not a prostitute's daughter" " My father was.." "He was Nawab Anwar Kamaal, am I right?" "Tell me of which place was he the Nawab?" "All prostitutes make up such stories, and your mother did the same." "Your father may not have had a good background, but.." "..your mother definitely had one." "She was the best prostitute in this market of the beloved's henna." "If you won't keep up this tradition, her soul won't rest in peace." "I have brought such a nice dress for you,.." "..wear it and see you'll look like a fairy!" "Wow!" "Such a beautiful dress!" "At least look at it." "Granny, what has happened to you today?" "Beti, till yesterday I was your mother's servant, and was.." "..calling you Nawabzaadi Shabana, but today I'm his servant.." "..so I'll be calling you Bai Shabana jaan." "Oh God!" "What am I hearing today!" "?" "I'm a servant and my job is to listen to my master." "Please stop it, granny." "Jafar Ali Khan seems to be a rich man.." "..have you taken any advance from him or not?" "Yes, 2000." " Then give me my reward - 100 - ls that all?" "Okay take 200." " No, I'll take full 500, 200 as my advance.." "..my work is most difficult." "You're very smart. I thought you'd be as innocent as her." "Take this. I'm going to bring Jafar Ali,.." "..see that when I return that girl should be dressed well." "Leave that to me, but when will you return?" " Around 10.30 p.m." "Okay." "What's the time now?" "7.30 p.m." " Please return soon." "Don't touch me with your filthy hands." " To remove this filth.." "..a lot of times you have to become filthy, beti." "It isn't easy to escape from Nissar's clutches." "Come." " What do you mean?" "God is witness that whatever I've said is for your good." "Keeping God as witness you are sending me on this sinful path." "Only to save you I have used such filthy words for you." "We have very little time left." "It is 7.30 p.m now." "And Nissar will return by 10.30 p.m." "Before he comes we must go far away from this place." "Granny, forgive me. I have hurt you." "Forgive me." "Dear, if I manage to save you from his clutches.." "..I'll think I've done the pilgrimage of Haj." "Granny, but where will we go?" "Lucknow." "My brother stays there." "We'll take shelter there.." "..the rest depends on God." "Come my dear, come." "Beti, sleep for sometime." "ucknow, Granny right?" " Yes." "Mother had told me that my father was also from Lucknow." "Shabbo, my daughter, don't cry." "Keep faith in God." "Just as good days didn't last bad days won't last too." "Who knows, something good might happen." "What good still remains to happen?" "I have lost my house.." "..my mother and now also have a bad reputation." "You must not talk like this, dear.." "..one must not lose hope in God." "The one who has given sorrows will also give happiness." "God may have done all this so that you go to Lucknow and.." "..meet your father." "If it was in my destiny to meet my father.." "..then why would my mother have suffered so much?" "Why should she had to go through these days?" "Your father too must have had some problems." "He may have come to meet Najma, but wasn't successful." "Searching for Najma even now .." "..he may find you instead." "Beti, please open the door. I'm hanging like this for a long time." "What are you doing?" "You old fellow!" "Go away!" "This is a ladies compartment." "Where will this poor man go in this moving train?" "What if he falls?" "Let him fall and die." "What if he steals something and runs away?" "Can't you see?" "He seems to be a thief, escaped from prison." "You mustn't simply doubt anybody like that." "Open the door Shabana." "Baba, why are you sitting there?" "Please sit here." "No, you be comfortable. I'll sit here. I'll be getting down.." "..at the next station and go to the gent's compartment." "Granny, you have come to Lucknow after many years.." "Will your brother recognize you?" "Why not." " Beti." " Baba." "You have done me a great favour." "I'm grateful to you." "Baba, are you also getting down at Lucknow?" " Yes beti." "This is my hometown." "Once upon a time my house and.." "..everything of mine belonged to this place but.." "..circumstances snatched away everything and I was destroyed." "Beti, are you also from Lucknow?" "No, I have come here for the first time." "My father was from Lucknow." "Come on dear." " Okay I take your leave." "Good-bye." "Good-bye." "May you live long." "Excuse me, can you show me Nawab Bandook's house?" "There." " Thank you." " Welcome." "Excuse me, is the Nawab inside?" " Yes, please go in.." "..quietly, he is listening to some songs." "Granny, you said that the Nawab is your brother, but.." "..this seems to be the house of a very rich Nawab." "My mother used to work as a maid in his house.." "..when the prince was just two months old, his mother died." "And then my mother took care of him." "And that's why I call him my brother." "I had sought my youth from others!" "Son, I want to meet the Nawab Bandook." "is it very important?" " Yes." "Then please go up" " Thank you." "Some I lost in fight and the rest waiting for someone!" "Where are you going?" " To meet Bandooksaab." "You told us to go up. - l didn't mean this upstairs." "I meant upstairs where God lives." "Are you saying that my brother is no longer alive?" " Right." "The gun has perished but the bullet is still here." "Are you his son?" " Yes, I'm his foster son." "They call me Miya Moobole." "Actually he had adopted me because his wife couldn't.." "..bear him a child." "After my foster mother died.." "..my foster father never spoke a word." "One day he climbed the staircase, fell down, and died." "Now tell me how can I help you?" " l had come to meet him." "Who are you?" " l'm his sister." "But he didn't have any sister." "I'm his foster sister." "I think your name is Rashidan!" "Father used to talk about you when he was alive." "He has left a lot of wealth for you in his will." "Why didn't you tell me that you're my foster aunt earlier?" "I'm sure she is your foster daughter." "Very good, now I have a foster sister too!" "Until now there was a lot of silence in this house." "At least say something now." "This fool has been talking for so long!" "Anwar Kamaal is alive, Safdarjung!" "He'll take his revenge." " Safdarjung." "Safdarjung, what will I gain killing a handicapped man?" "If I'll kill you, you'll be relieved of your agony." "You will be free from this life." "You should be tortured in such a manner,.." "..that you'll want death and it won't be granted to you." "You should suffer till you die." "Safdarjung, the way I'm living a lifeless life,.." "..I'll make your life worse than mine!" "Just as I'm missing my father.." "..and dying because of my destruction.." "..you too will die craving for your son!" "Who are you?" "Why have you come here?" "I am a thief. I had come to steal." "You have real guts to speak the truth!" "You didn't even make any excuse?" "is there any need for an excuse.." "..when caught in someone's bedroom?" "Would you believe if I tell you I had come to ask how are you?" "If you had come to steal, then why do you need a knife?" "Not for others." "Theives always keep some weapon for their safety." "Bade Miya, your language and mannerisms.." "..does not allow me to believe that you're a theif." "I'm sure you have come for some other purpose." "Tell me, what has brought you here?" "Isn't stealing enough reason?" "Nobody steals for pleasure." "Bade Miya, you seem to be a very honest man." "Maybe the world has given you a lot of pain." "Okay, if I let you live with me, will you stop stealing?" " What?" "If I make you my servant will you stop stealing?" "How can I.. work in a house I came to rob?" "Don't worry, nobody will know that you had come to steal." "My father can't walk, and his servant has left him.." "..you will have to take care of him." "Me!" " Why?" " No, nothing I'm astonished by the way God treats us." "I had come here to gain something but.." "..I'm leaving with something else." "Thank you very much." "I'll report to work from tomorrow." "What's your name?" " My name is Khairuddin.." "People call me Khairoo." " Good-bye." "Excuse me." "Do you know the way out?" " No. I'll find my way." "Which way did you come?" "From the window." " Then you may leave the same way." "If you're caught, I won't be able to help you." "What happenned, Mrs. Albert?" "Look at him!" "How he is acting innocent!" "Tell him what you have done!" "What were you doing?" "See, he stuck a cockroach in place of a pagemark." "You're an ass, Phirangi Miya." "What have you done?" "I marked it." "Or I would've forgotten where l had to read." "So you should kill a cockroach and stick it?" "Should I have killed a fly and stuck it?" "I can't teach a child like him." "Mrs. Albert, you will teach him." "Henceforth he'll not behave like this." "Say sorry to teacher and swear that you won't make.." "..such a mistake in future." "Say sorry to her." "What's the matter?" "Why is he apologising?" "Daddy, he has become very naughty!" "He keeps harrassing his teacher a lot!" "So, daddy has explained you your job?" "Yes son, I have explained it to him." "With God's grace, he is very efficient." "It feels as though he has been working here since years." "He already knows all the doors and windows of the house." "You have got used to this house very soon!" "Yes, it feels as though this is my house." "I feel as though the doors and windows know me." "And I know them well too." "Khairu Miya I feel.. did you come here for a job in the past?" "No. - l feel as if I have seen you earlier." "Well, take me to the hall." " Yes." "Moobole Miya!" "I think the poet is still sleeping." "So, you're actually sleeping!" "is this the time to sleep?" "It is 10 o'clock." "It's time to go to college!" "Come on get up!" "Who..who..are..are.." " l'm.." "I'm.." "What happened?" "Have you left your eyes at home?" "You rat!" "You got me into trouble, isn't it?" "What's the matter?" "Are you lifting away something from here?" "Yes, I'm lifting my legs on my head and running." "What happened?" "At least tell me something." "Pal, I barged into your bedroom.." "I didn't know who was sleeping." "I thought you're still sleeping so without thinking I bashed her!" "I swear by you, when she lifted her blanket.." " What happened?" "I was so nervous. I had hit her so hard that she must.." "..be still massaging herself." "Miya, who is she?" "From where has she come?" "She is the daughter of my late father's sister!" "Whom did you beat?" "Aunty or her daughter?" "From her physical appearance I think she must be the daughter." "Come I'll introduce you to her." "Take the name of God." "I can't face her!" "I had come to pick you." "You weren't coming to college for four days." "I thought you were in some problem." "But when I come here, I see an angel in your house!" "How long will she stay here?" "She'll be living here forever." "Poor thing, she's in great trouble." "Who?" "The sister or daughter." " The daughter!" "She is educated, and a poet." "She was studying in third year of college and her fate changed." "And here I'm not clearing my third year since last three years." "Yusuf Miya, I think that life's all great events take place in the.." "..third year." "Even the famous poet, Mirza Ghalib was thrown out of.." "..the Rampur court in his third year." "Do one thing." "Take her tutions and you will pass." "What a great idea!" "I never realised that the teacher and the student are here!" "She was also saying the same thing." "She wants to give tutions to pass her time." "She gets really bored." "Now you don't bore me." "Bring your books and let's go to college." "Have I ever gone to college with my books?" "Never." " Never." " Okay then let's go." " Come on." "Hello Rosy." "Shut up!" " Hello Salma." " Shut up!" "Hello Moonbole." " Shut up!" " Idiot!" "Since morning every girl is scolding me." "I don't know whose face I saw in the morning?" "Friend, I think this girl hasn't seen the film 'Mere Mehboob'." "She must have definitely seen the film." "But you mustn't have seen your face." "There is a lot of difference between the good looking.." "..Rajendra kumar and your face!" "But whatever you may say, the slap was really a solid one." "The sound reveberated in the whole college." "Moonbole has nothing to say." "But who is she?" "Her slap has left my teeth shaking!" "I must find out." " Without even seeing her?" "How will I recognize her in her viel?" "I'll tell you." "You at least know the impact of her slap." " Very well, friend." "I can tell you the weight of all her five fingers." "It's very simple." "Tomorrow, when you come to college.." "..beg every girl in the viel to slap you in the name of God." "You keep track of the weight and we'll keep track of the sound." "It's alright." "Wow, what a wonderful idea!" "It means the crow asked the mouse to come out." "No teacher, one crow asked the mouse to come out." "The crow.. no.. no.. no." "Phirangi Miya, if you have a cockroach, throw it on this fat cat." "Why uncle?" "Yesterday you were siding the teacher a lot." "Young man, this teacher isn't nice." "She is a coward." "If she is so scared of a cockroach, what will she teach you?" "But you had brought this fat teacher for me." "She is big in size only." "Her heart is very small." "Make her run away. - l'll use a mouse to make her run." " Mouse?" "From where will you bring a mouse?" " See this." "Why are you holding this?" "I was learning about a mouse today." "Phirangi Miya, you're very smart." "Come on, show your smartness." "Means, the mouse climbed the wall." "The mouse climbed the wall." "Means, the mouse climbed the wall." "It isn't climbing teacher." "Why doesn't it climb." "See this." "This is a photo teacher, the real mouse isn't climbing." "Why won't it climb." "You catch a real mouse and I'll make it climb." "What happened?" " l'll not teach him at all." "You know that this idiot left a mouse on me." " Mouse?" "He is always up to his pranks!" "You're very naughty Khalid." "You a small child and you're playing such pranks!" "Mrs. Albert just stop teaching him." "Leave this idiot." "Take 200 for your salary and I apologize." "Naughty fellow, you made her run away." "Never mind, tomorrow I'll bring a better teacher than her." "Why uncle?" "I made the fat cat run away,.." "..so why another cat?" "Now I'll bring a beautiful cat for you.." "..small, fair and innocent." "And her voice.. very soft and sweet voice." "And her eyes.. eyes like angels." "Anybody who looks into them.." "..attains eternity!" " What is eternity?" "Phirangi Miya, you ask too many questions!" "Okay, Moonbole I'm very pleased." "Let her come from tomorrow to teach Khalid Miya." "We take your leave now." "Please be seated. I have called for Khalid Miya." "Let her meet her student." "Here he comes." "Come Phirangi Miya." " Good day to you, grandfather." " God bless you." "She is your new teacher." "Say hello to her." " Hello." "Please come and sit here." "See Shabana, he's such a sweet boy." "You won't find such an innocent boy in whole of Lucknow." "What happened?" "I remembered a heart-piercing poem!" "I really felt the pricking of the poem!" "Pricking poem?" "Let me hear it too!" " lt goes like.." "Granddad, may I show my study room to teacher?" "Sure, and also show her your study books." "Meanwhile I'll listen to his poems." "Please come teacher." "So, what were you saying?" " Moobola." "What?" " l mean this mouth opened.." "..when I opened it, it said something." "Very good!" "Even this is good!" "So, let me hear your poetry." "It was a rainy night when I first met her." "And we both were under the same umbrella!" "I'm sorry!" "My mistake!" "Welcome teacher, this is my study room." "This is my study table, and this is your chair and this is mine." "And he is my uncle." " Uncle!" "Oh God!" " Hello." " Please sit down." "I'm very ashamed of my behaviour on that day." "It was a very big mistake." "Uncle, if anyboby makes a mistake he should catch his.." "..ears and ask for forgiveness." "Yes, I must ask for forgiveness." "It's good that you've come to teach Phirangi." "I also got an opportunity to ask for your forgiveness." "Phirangi is a very strange name." "We have nicknamed him because.." "..he's fair like the British, and he's also very naughty." "Why are you standing?" "Please be seated." " Thank you." "Actually, I was very worried for this boy." "I was thinking if I could get a nice teacher for him.." "Uncle, I have got this teacher for me or for yourself?" "Get up." "You're very insolent." " Thank you." "Phirangisaab, you mustn't talk to elders in this manner." "Uncle isn't elder, he is my friend." "Teacher, please say something?" " Why?" " Please say." "You're very sweet, Phirangi Miya." " Uncle, her voice is just like you described it." "Be careful of him." "He is very naughty." "Do you know what he did with his previous teacher?" "He threw a mouse on her, and out of fright she ran away." "Uncle, don't talk like this." "You had asked me to drive her away. - l told you?" "You're a big liar, Khalid Miya." " Didn't you tell me,.." ".."drive the fat cat away, I'll bring a goodlooking cat for you."" "Please go out." " Didn't you say she has angelic eyes?" "You're very naughty, Khalid Miya." " Thank you." "I'm leaving now." "My brother must be waiting for me." "Please wait." "You're very naughty." "You told her everything." "Good." "What happened?" "Did you burn your hand?" "Batur Miya, how many times I've told you to see where.." "..you're walking." "You have burnt her hands." "No!" "It's not his fault." "I banged into him." "Hello, Miya." " Mamujaan." "Oh God!" " Beti, you?" " You?" "I'm a servant here." "And what about you?" "I'm also a servant here." "I come to teach the small boy." "Fate makes us meet often as.." "..it's trying to bring lost ones together." "Whenever I meet you, I too feel the same." "Shabana, come soon." "I have to get myself slapped." "What did you say?" "I meant I have to attend a party after I drop you home." "Okay, baba I'm going." " God bless you." "Come fast." "Mamujaan, who are you shooting?" "Some betrayer." "You've got any objection?" " Never." "That betrayer is very pretty." "You're calling my teacher a betrayer." "Wait, I'll go and tell granddad." " Nanajaan.." " Wait one minute." "O beautiful girls in the veil, please slap me!" "I pray that God take care of your hands and my teeth." "Turn and slap me in the name of God." "Friends, what do you have to say?" "No it's not her." "The sound wasn't that loud." " We agree." "You're right, it wasn't hard." "Never mind." "O beautiful girl in the veil, please slap me in the name of God." "I pray that God take care of your hands and my teeth." "Turn and slap me in the name of God." "Rukhsana, give him a real hard one in the name of God." "No friends, I think today she has bunked college." "O beautiful girl in the veil, please slap me in the name of God." "This is it." " The same sound." " The same sound." "Did you recognize her?" "My foot, I recognized her." "She had slapped me on that .." "..day too." "But who is she?" "She is Gulkand, daughter of doctor Berbundli!" "Gulkand!" " Good, your life is made." "Now become a Majnu and go to her house." "Laila!" "Where are you Laila?" "Laila!" "Where are you?" "Speak out, Laila where are you?" "Oh Majnu!" "You seem to be very thirsty." "Come, let me quench your thirst." "Shameless!" "Aren't you ashamed of spoiling a girl's reputation?" "Take, drown yourself in this water." "I've drowned myself, now atleast show your face." "You're craving a lot to see my face." " See." "is your heart wounded?" "Perfectly aimed at my heart." "Shameless creature!" "Just look at his guts!" "?" "Who are you?" "By profession I'm a doctor and by relation how is this girl related to you?" "She is a piece of my heart." "And I'm the father of that piece." "What nonsense you're talking?" "Good-bye." "Where are you going." "I think you're not well." "Come to my clinic." "I'm perfectly alright. I think your intention isn't good." "Don't doubt my intention." "Come inside and I'll make you alright." "' Bedard Clinic'?" "Do you treat your patients cruelly?" "Come here." "Show me your pulse." "Are you seeing my pulse or those sticks?" "I have kept it here for my support!" "What's your problem?" "I'm getting scared of you and my sight is on this stick." "Son, you don't look at it." "You look at me." "Very smart." "So when I look at you, you will hit me with that stick!" "Son, your problem isn't external, it's internal." "I'll have to cleanse you from inside." "Daughter Gulkand, please bring the cleansing medicine.." "..and a glass from inside." "I'll bring it right away, daddy." "What's this cleansing medicine like, doctor?" "It cleanses your intentions alongwith your system." "It will remove the worms from your stomach as well as your mind." "Doctor, I didn't understand properly." "Once you take a double dose you will understand by yourself." "Daddy, take this." " Give ." " Gulkand." "Take it, son, swallow this." "Doctor, if I don't take it will you bash me up?" "No, I will thrash you!" " Like a launderer?" " You're very clever!" "Open your mouth fast, and swallow it." "Drink this water." "Doctor, at least tell me now what medicine was it." "This was a laxative." " Laxative!" "I'm dead." "Tonga!" "Car!" "Miyan, take this water, you will need it on the way!" "Why are you laughing?" "Get in!" "Shameless!" "This was the laxative." "You're smilling in your dreams.." "Are you actually sleeping or is it an excuse?" "Hello." " Oh God!" "It's you!" "Brother isn't at home. I don't know whether he has gone.." "..to college, to the cinema, or at your house!" "I don't know where he is." "I haven't come to meet him." "I have come to meet you." "I've got ointment for your hands." "You had burnt your hands." "Please apply it, they will be cured." "My hand is perfectly alright." "It isn't burnt from anywhere." "Generally, burns are from within, they don't show externally." "Apply it, the burning sensation will go." "It's all right now, but if you insist then please apply it for me." "Me.. ointment.. burn.. please apply it yourself." "What happened to you?" "Are you dressed like this for that girl?" "The road to love is very unpredictable." "It either leads you to the desert or to the municipality." "Towards the municipality?" "Are you drunk?" "I had gone to the cleaners!" "Where you get cleaned!" "I will be right back!" "It's the 20th time!" "Baba, hello." " God bless you." "Have you started teaching the boy?" "Yes, baba. I've got something for you." "Please take it." "What's this dear?" "See it yourself." "Good bye." "Listen dear, I've never asked you, your name till now." "I like it very much when you call me your child." "Khalidmiyan!" "Your receipt." " My receipt!" "?" "Love is a fire over which there is no control." "Love is a fire over which there is no control!" "Uncle has asked you to sign on the receipt first." "You will get your fees later." "Your uncle is very strange!" "He takes the receipt first and then gives the fees." "Yes, he takes a kiss from me first and then he gives me a chocolate." "You must be giving him a lot of kisses?" "He took four kisses before he gave me a train." "Take this and give it to your uncle." "Tell him that I'll take my fees first and then give the receipt." "May I play with my train?" "Yes. I'll teach you a lesson on the train." "The train comes whistling. lt runs and makes a lot of noise." "It halts at stations." "It throws black smoke."

"Are you Moonbole's granny?" "Yes.My Moonbola adores you." "Whenever I speak, he talks only about you." "For him I have come to surrender my youth to your father." "I say, you look very beautiful!" "Atleast feel ashamed to say this before your daughter!" "What are you doing standing here?" "Go inside!" "You too seem to be quite young!" "It's my fate that I'm a widow." "I'm only little older than your daughter." "What are you saying?" "My daughter is of the same age as your Moobola." "Actually, you too don't look too old." "Only that you are shapeless."

"No.. no daddy." "He's very naughty." "Yes, he is naughty, but hasn't he spoken the truth?" "Say something." "Now why are you feeling nervous?" "Grandad, I'll tell you all that he was saying." "Yusuf, I'm proud of your choice." "I also like the girl very much." "Grandad, I too like her." "Really!" "I'll get you also married to her." "Aunty!" " What sort of joke is this?"

" God bless you." " Sit down." "I was surprised to hear your voice." "I was thinking about you right now." "I knew that you're thinking about me." "That's why I have come here." "See!" "How one's heart talks with another's?" "It's true baba. I feel I have some spiritual bond with you." "There is one, why else would God make me meet you?" "Just like your pure heart, God too has gifted me with a pure heart." "I'll always pray for your pure love!" "Baba." " Daughter. I'm leaving." "I came to take your permission." " Meaning!" "I'm leaving Lucknow." "Baba, why are you leaving Lucknow?" "I couldn't complete the motive for which I had come here." "Maybe it wasn't God's wish." "I've given up."

"Let me see." "This fellow is still in this house?" "By now there should be no traces of his grave too." "Throw it away." "Why are you worshipping this wicked fellow?" "He isn't any of my ancestors." "Khairu Miya, throw this wicked fellow in some dirty sewage." "Couldn't find this fellow's body." "Or I would have thrown too." "Anwar Kamaal is alive, Safdarjung." "He'll take his revenge." "Anwar kamaal is alive, Safdarjung." "He'll take his revenge." "Give this glass of water to me." "I'll keep it." "Khairoo Miya!" " Yes." "What's happening?" "Nothing. I'm doing my duty." "In the name of duty, you have showered a lot of love on us." "How will we ever repay your love and affection?" "Yusuf Miya, only you have given me love and affection." "So much love that I forget about myself." "Who am I?" "From where have I come?" "What have I to do?" "But when I'm myself, I think of doing my duty." "We too have some duty towards you." "You consider Shabana as your daughter." "She also calls you baba." "Father and I have decided that you will stay like us in this house." "From tomorrow, you won't have to do all this." "Yusuf Miya, who has seen tomorrow." "It's great if the present moment passes well." "Thank you for considering me for this priviledge." "May God.." "Your good wishes are always with me." "That's why a girl like Shabana is becoming my wife." "I'm very lucky." "We can't go against our destiny." "I take your leave sir." "Khairu Miya, if I'm not troubling you... ..please wake me up at 6 a.m." "Tomorrow?" " Why?" "No" " Nothing. I was just wondering what if I don't.." "..wake up in the morning." "Never mind. I'll set the alarm." "Dear Nawab, by poisoning Yusuf I've taken my revenge." "I wanted you to go through the same death that you've given me." "You've forgotten." "But I will never forget my misfortune." "I'll remind you who I am." "Tell me." "Who are you?" "How did you enter without my permission." "But who .." "We tried to stop him a lot but he pushed us and entered." "Shut up!" "Who are all these?" "Who are you?" "Where's daddy?" "Who daddy?" "Are you Anwar Kamaal, son of Sajjad Hussein?" "Yes. I'm Nawab Sajjad Hussein's son!" "Oh, please sit down." " Sit." "Though I've never seen you, I'd heard a lot about you." "I'm Haiderjung's son, Safdarjung." "I have heard your name before." "Unfortunately, I had never met you." "The circumstances under which we met is more unfortunate." "You have come home thinking it to be your home.." "..but unfortunately, it's no longer your home." "Yesterday morning, your father auctioned this house.." ".. to repay his debts." "Auctioned!" "To repay debts?" "Whose debts?" "You maybe be knowing that, about 7 -8 years ago .." "..your father had made a huge loss in a business dealing." "At that time my father had helped him with a huge amount." "Yes, I know." " Your father had given 10 lacs." "Yes, that's right." "I used to be in Nainital most of the time." "But since father has expired, I've taken over the business." "I've recovered the amount from Mr.Sajjad." "But daddy had returned the money in instalments." "I've myself given 20-40 thousand to your father." "Anwar Kamaal, this isn't a child's play." "That I'll believe you've paid the amount." "If the amount was returned, it should either have been .." ".. deposited in our bank account.." ".. or you should have had it's receipt!" "You're lying!" "Safdarjung, you're cheating!" "Anwar Kamaal, right now you're not in your house.." ".. but in my house!" "If I desire I can get you thrown out, but I'm respecting you." "You're a fraud, cheater and a selfish person!" "Anwar!" "Think what you say.." "..I'll strip you of your skin and have it auctioned too!" "." "You don't know me!" "Now I know." "You'll regret knowing me." "Get out of here!" "Your cheater father too, .." ".. had threatened before leaving." "How dare you use any filthy language for my father!" "Get lost!" "Tell me where my father is!" "He must be lying in some dirty drain!" "Go find him!" "Bastard!" "You bastard!" "I'll take my revenge!" "My father departed from this life without fulfilling his desire .." ".. of taking revenge." "His final words always echo in my ears." "Anwar Kamaal is alive." "Anwar Kamaal will take revenge." "Today, I've taken that revenge." "Just the way I lived in grief.." "..you too, will grieve for your son for the rest of your life." "Mother's name was Najma!" "Anwar Kamaal was my father!" "I'm a prostitute's daughter!" "Oh God!" "What have you done!" "Yusuf!" "Yusuf!" "God!" "When has one denied your favours?" "Baba." " Daughter." " Has the Jr." "Nawab read my letter?" "Daughter, please forgive me!" "I'm your sinner!" "Please forgive me!" "What happened baba?" "Why are you crying like this?" "Please forgive me!" "I've read your letter!" "I'm a sinner!" "When I was read about your past, I felt it was my story." "How did you go through all the sorrow?" "We have to go through all that is in our destiny, baba!" "That's why I had sent the letter!" "I would have known what my fate decided for me!" "If you treat me like your father, then will you do what I say?" "What Baba?" "Your getting married to such a nice man, is also your destiny." "Promise me that you will not spoil your destiny." "You will never tell anything to Yusuf." "Tomorrow, what if he knows who my mother was?" "Yusuf is getting married to you because he loves you." "He doesn't need to know your mother's past." "What right does a prostitute's daughter have to tarnish the .." "..reputation of such a nice family?" "The world will never forgive them." "What right did the world have, when it tarnished Najma's image?" "Why, was she so helpless that she could not lead a repectable life?" "Why did the world push her into a brothel?" "This world is deaf and blind!" "It doesn't understand one's circumstances!" "It doesn't listen to one's complaints." "Just as nobody could understand your mother's helplessness.." "..nobody will understand yours." "Man can't decide what is good and what is bad." "Leave it for God to decide." "It's a good thing that you've read my letter, Baba." "Atleast I could share my sorrow with you." "The burden on my chest is reduced." "Beti, promise you will not tell anybody anything." "Now I won't tell anybody anything, Baba." "The person to whom I wanted to tell, has already understood everything." "May you prosper, Beti." "Sir." " Nawab has called for you." "Rehman." " Yes Sir." "Last night Khairoo Miya had kept a glass of water in my table." "Did you take it away?" " No Sir." "He kept it right in front of my eyes." "Call Khairoo Miya." "He's not at home." "Even his room is locked since morning." "O.K." "Bhabhi, tell me, what do you want to order?" "What can I say?" "I don't know about today's fashions." "During our times, one would see that jewellery is big and heavy." "Bhabhi, that is no longer in fashion and nor is it the law." "Now, the govrnment too does not permit to keep lot of gold." "Then Miya, send Shabana to his shop." "She will choose the jewellery herself." "Goodday auntie." " Bless you." "Goodday auntie." " Bless you." "Yusuf Miya, do one thing." "Take Shabana to Parsuram's shop." "Let her decide what jewellry she wants." "Me.. me.." " Yes why not?" " Me.. me.." "This boy is getting very embarrased." "If you want to feel so shy, wear my veil and go with Shabana." "Listen Yusuf Miya." "We have to change with the new generation." "Just as you have chosen your wife, now let Shabana .." "..choose the jewellery of her choice." "I'll see Daddy. I've to go to college." "See, I listened to you and went to that doctor disguised as granny." "O.K." " And the old man also got ready to get Gulkand married." " O.K." "Now I'll have to marry twice." "Once with Gulkand, and the other with that old man." "O.K." " What O.K.?" "It's not O.K." "Who will I live with?" "With Gulkand or with the old man?" "With the old man." "Listen to her." "First she put a noose around my neck and .." ".. she's making fun of me." "Show me a way to come out of this mess." "Then brother, for three days you live with Gulkand and.." ".. three days with the old man." "You don't understand anything." "It's not safe to live with the doctor for even a single day." "The moment I'm exposed, my hair will be in his hands .." ".. I'll be out of the house." "That's what we want." "After that, where will he take his daughter back?" "That's right." "By God's swear, you're a genius." "Hello Mr. Farhad, when did you come?" "Go Miya, you go too. - l've your permission?" " Most welcome." "Go and impress her!" " Thank you!" "Let me have this spectacle sometimes.." "..Let me unveil your face." "If this Moon is unveiled.." "..I'll give a call to the dark clouds!" "How coy my bride is!" "Okay, so he is your brother, what job can he do?" "He can do anything." "He has got degrees." "Okay, take him to the accountant.." "..and ask him to replace him with Khairu." "Thank you very much, Sir" " Thank you for the favor." "Greetings!" " Greetings!" "Yes, whom do you want to see?" "The granny of Moobole, who is a widow but a beauty." "Why do you want to meet her?" "Tell her that a heart-broken person has come today, he has.." "..just speak something to her, my heart would be satisfied.." "..or else I would go breathless." " And your legs dangling in grave!" "Miyan!" "You're a very shameless person, shame on love and.." "..that too in this old age." " Who are you?" "Granny's sister?" "Sister, no, I'm your mother-in-law." " Please don't get angry, I'm sad, if tears flow from my eyes and roll down.." "..will she see my lost beauty or tears flowing down my face?" "I've come to confess my crime to you, I've come to marry her today!" "Father," " Yes dear, I've come to meet your mother." "Who?" "Okay, you've come to see our granny who is a widow?" "Oh!" "She left for Kashmir today itself." "What?" "She went all alone without me?" "Let that brat come, just see how I shut his mouth!" "Now first granny will come and only then will Gulkand go!" "Come on!" " Oh!" "Doctor, have some patience." "I've had enough patience." "I've been waiting here peeling groundnuts.." "..and she's gone to Kashmir to eat apples!" "No problem, she will come back soon." "Listen, whenever she comes, tell her that the doctor has.." "..taken back his prescription." "Come on!" "I'm sorry, Greetings!" "Come on." "Oh no!" "Doctor, what is this?" "I gave them an excuse and went to stay at your place." "But when I went there, I found the house locked!" "But darling, it was a matter of life  death here!" "Please have some patience doctor!" "Who is this girl?" "So sister, how do you find the groom?" "Won't we make a nice pair?" "Hello!" "Dear Shabana, how are you?" "Oh yes!" "I met Yusufmiyan on the way." "He was asking about you." "Oh!" "Doctor, why are you panting?" "How should I tell you, darling?" "Separation was suffocating me like anything." "I was losing everything thinking about you." "I could not control myself and could not remove this obstacle." "In this confusion, I ran like hell." "Don't tell me, Oh!" "Sister," ".. you must have even not asked him for water!" "Water?" "!" "Now I'm going to ask you about yourself, you rascal!" "is all this?" " Fashion!" "Oh no!" "Granny, what's this?" "You've spoilt an entire set, give me back my property." "I'll give it to you right now, take this!" " Please forgive him." "This donkey has created a scene." "Just get aside.." "..wait till I get you." "Bloody!" "Ditcher!" "Now let me see how you marry Gulkand." "Come on, Come on I said!" "Please leave me papa, please." "Doctor!" "You're taking away your daughter." "What about me?" " Now, what's wrong with you?" "Sir, I've fallen in love with you." "The moment you glanced at me." " Granny!" " Children, .." "..nothing can stop one from falling in love... lt can neither be made to happen nor can it be suppressed." "Wait!" "Have patience, I'm not going to be ditched this time." "Moobole, I hope this isn't your elder brother?" "She's really genuine." "Check her if you want!" "You're my Noorjahan and also my world, you're my beloved.." "..and also the mother of my dear one." "You're anyway taking away my child." "Damn it!" "Who am I to separate the child from it's mother?" "From now onwards Gulkand will stay here, with her mother." "And now I take your leave.." "Greetings!" "But yes, I hope you remember the condition,.." ".. once Gulkand gets married, it's our turn." "Greetings!" "Greetings!" "Oh!" "Granny, Come on, that was truly romantic." "Move aside, I handled it this time but henceforth you'll.." "..have to take care of it." "What?" "!" "You mean to say whatever you did was mere acting?" "Oh yes!" "I'm going to win this year's Filmfare Award for best acting." "Very well!" "Why are we here then?" "Hello!" "Recite your peotry to us!" " Sure, why not?" "Please take this knife" " Why?" "Did you recall something touchy?" "Yes!" "I fear, it was something like that." "Come on, let's see our groom." "Yes, as if nobody's seen, - lt's not like that, he is the chosen one!" "Shabana." " Nissar?" "!" " Thank God, you recognised me!" "Otherwise who remembers near ones once he holds.." "..a status in the society.l know, that unfortunate old lady .." "..mislead you but you're not such a girl.l know you from.." "..the beginning.But that old lady turned out to be smart." "She's trapped a rich guy, she has secured her old age." "Even the rich guy won't have any doubts about you" ".. , like who you're and where you've come from." "You!" "What have you come here for?" " l've come to take.." "..you, my darling. I think this is the best time." "These jewels you're wearing are more than enough." "Cover it and move out with me." "We can live happily everafter." "Nissar, have mercy on me, for God's sake, please go away!" "Don't ruin my life." " You've always misunderstood me." "Shabana. I never wanted to ruin you, I wanted you to.." "..prosper at the brothel but you weren't ready.." "Now you want to make your life in this palace, your wish!" "When you prosper will it be good for me, else how will.." "..I spend my days?" " What?" "What do you mean by that?" "What do want to say?" "The debt, the money I spent to look after your mother and.." "..also in bringing you up and the interest.." "..you can pay me by satisfying me." "I beg of you, Nissar, please spare me, please forgive me.." "..I beg for my life, I beg of you for my husband." "Please don't ruin me!" "..I'm not forcing you, if you don't wish to go, don't go!" "Just handover these jewels and some 1000-1500 rupees.." "..every month, enough!" "Now you'll have no difficulty in.." "..repaying your mother's debt and also for me to collect it." "You know something, Shabana, I'm a servant at.." "..your father-in-law's place and will always be close to you." "These tears flowing down your cheeks!" "I've seen dew drops dancing over fire.." "Wow!" "By God, you're looking gorgeous!" "I feel like tasting these tears!" "So your arrogance isn't over yet." "Your mother made you a.." "..prostitute and you're trying to be an angel?" "!" "So let me break your illusion that you're a virgin." "Let me fulfill myself before you meet Yusuf!" "Now run!" "Where will you go?" "Bravo!" "There's nothing more beautiful than the Moon!" "One day your mother had also surrendered herself to me." "You mean!" "Wicked!" "If you step ahead, I'll shoot you!" "I know these hands decorated with henna cannot shoot." "Nissar, I mean it!" "Go away, or I'll shoot!" " Go ahead, shoot!" "You cruel!" "You shot me!" "You really shot me!" "Baba, I've murdered him, I've killed Nissar, Baba!" "Swear on your mother." "Don't tell it dear, don't tell who he.." "..was, how he was related to your mother!" "Najma was disgraced a lot in her life." "Let her soul rest in peace!" "People should not come to know that your mother was a.." "..prostitute, a dancer.!" "Khairumiyan, You, Shabana, Usman?" "!" "Yes, Yusufmiyan, he was my companion." "He wanted to have the whole loot so I killed him!" " Baba!" "." "This is true, I was caught before trying to steal." "Yusufmiyan knows that. I had sent Usman for the job.." "..so that he can await a nice opportunity!" "But, today when there was such a golden opportunity.." "..he didn't even inform me." "He didn't have a fair intention." "He wanted the whole loot for.." "..himself. I finished him off." "Lady, can you tell what Khairu Usmanspokeabout.." "..before the shot was fired?" "And how the fight started?" "There was no fight between them because.." "..the shot was fired before Khairumiyan came!" "Lady, what do you want to say?" "What do you mean?" "I mean, he was not killed by Khairumiyan but by me." "This is a lie!" "this is false, this girl is wrong!" "I killed him!" "No, Mr.Dutt, this murder has been committed by Khairumiyan.." "..and not Shabana." "Shabana is taking the blame on herself.." "..just because Khairumiyan saved her dignity." "And she cannot see the person whom she is grateful to being hanged!" "This act proves Shabana's honesty.." "..and does not make her a criminal." "But Shabana's statement proves her to be the criminal." "So, doesn't Khairu's statement prove him guilty?" ".." "He has also confessed to his crime." "And everybody has seen Khairumiyan firing the shots.." "..and not Shabana." "Khairumiyan has committed the murder." "He had also twice attempted to murder me." "But why?" "What for?" "Mr.Dutt!" "It's true that the first time when he entered the house at night.." "..he climbed on a pipe but was caught in Yusuf Nawab's bed-room!" "He had a sharp knife in his hand.." "and pretended he had come to steal." "Nawab showed mercy on him and took him as an employee." "But never had Yusuf Nawab thought that.." "..he had come to his bedroom not to steal but to murder him." "Does the criminal disagree with this incident?" "I confess it" " Baba!" "During his period of work he made a mark for himself at home!" "He gained Yusuf Nawab's confidence!" "He became familiar with his habits!" "He came to know that Yusuf Nawab had the habit.." "..of getting up at night and having water!" "He had even uttered this to Yusuf Nawab and then.." "..one night before placing a glass of water beside his bed.." "..he mixed poison in it!" "He tried to kill him again!" "Does the criminal deny this incident?" "No!" "I confess this also." "Can I know why the criminal had to always attack Yusuf Nawab?" "What was this enmity all about for which he was trying to take revenge?" "This is my personal matter. I refuse to tell it to the Court." "Which means he is trying to hide his past criminal life!" "My Lord!" "If permitted, Mr.Yusuf would like to.." "..say something about this case." " Permission granted." "Your Honour!" "This incident of murder not only involves.." "..Khairumiyan and Shabana, but also a few more big people." "Which involves the most important  special name.." "..of my father, Nawab Safdarjung." "What?" "!" "Usman's murder isn't a stray incident.." "..but behind it lies a chain of incidents." "one end of which is connected to Usman's dead.." "..body and the other end of which connects to.." "..Nawab Safdarjung's home." "His cottage, where Nawab Sajjad Hussain stayed before him." "Nawab Sajjad Hussain was indebted to my father." "When he could not clear the debts my father took legal.." "..action and made him leave the cottage." "Made him homeless." "Nobody can make out who was true and who was false.." "..in that incident which took place 18 years ago." "But the Court decision still lies on paper." "Nawab Sajjad Hussain got the shock of his life after that.." "..incident and he lost his mental balance." "With a mood of revenge on his mind, he finally faced death." "His son, Nawab Anwar Kamaal had stayed with him.." "..for a few months and in such a situation he couldn't even.." "..tell his father that he had secretly married a girl.." "..named Najma at Delhi." "After the death of his father when Anwar Kamaal .." "..came back to his wife at Delhi he found that Najma's.." "..step-uncle had made her leave the home." "He thought that Najma was going to be a mother of an illegitimate child." "Anwar Kamaal couldn't control his sorrow and anger." "He killed Najma's uncle and was sentenced to life imprisonment!" "Najma, left homeless and aimless was found wandering.." "..by a trader and fetter, whose name was Nissar Ahmed." "Nissar took Najma to Hyderabad and forced her.." "..into a brothel." "She was compelled to do it!" "Najma accepted this situation but on one condition.." "..that Nawab Anwar Kamaal's legal heir, his daughter.." "..will be kept away from this place by Nissar.." "..and will never let her know that her mother was a prostitute." "Keeping her daughter away from herself, Najma educated.." "..her, raised her and taught her good things." "But when she started to lose her charm.." "..Nissar tried to bring her daughter into the same brothel." "Najma could not take it and committed suicide." "Nissar felt that things had become easier for him." "But Najma's daughter ran off from Nissar's trap with her old maid." "After sometime her life again took a turn." "Within a year.." "..her marriage was fixed in a good family." "She didn't disclose her past." "She didn't utter about it." "But right on the occasion of her marriage Nissar came there.." "..and threatened that he will expose the secret.." "..stole her jewellery, tried to spoil her dignity!" "The girl killed him with his own pistol and that girl is, Shabana." "Tell me, where is Anwar Kamaal?" "Where is my father?" "When you know all this you must surely be knowing.." "..where my father is!" "Where is my father?" "Nawab Anwar Kamaal is none other than the one you call.." "..Baba and we all know him as Khairumiyan." " Baba!" "Respected Judge, I found these 2 letters from Khairumiyan's room." "These are the pieces of the letter that Shabana had.." "..written to me and the other one written to my father by Khairumiyan." "These are the proofs to testify my statement." "Mr.Groom, Why are you feeling so shy?" "He knows that he is going to lose today." "Anyway nowadays the college is having holidays.." "I know all that." " Anyway, you will come to know about it." "God!" "How lucky l am!" "Madam, why are you so scared of me?" "I don't trust you!" "Dear uncle, what does a veil mean?" "Veil?" "You naughty, Why should it bother you?" "Go away!" "Dear grandpa, what does a veil mean?"
