00:03:30.944 --> 00:03:32.924
lam India
2
00:03:34.180 --> 00:03:36.660
The Himalayas guard my boundaries
3
00:03:38.151 --> 00:03:40.654
The Ganges is the witness
to my chastity
4
00:03:41.955 --> 00:03:43.798
Since the beginning of time...
5
00:03:44.157 --> 00:03:46.694
I have been a friend
of darkness and light
6
00:03:48.294 --> 00:03:55.508
These marble edifices
tell the world:
7
00:03:56.502 --> 00:03:58.482
Tyrants robbed and ravaged me...
8
00:03:58.905 --> 00:04:01.078
well-wishers adorned me
9
00:04:01.841 --> 00:04:04.082
Fools chained me...
10
00:04:05.111 --> 00:04:08.684
my lovers broke those chains
11
00:04:10.116 --> 00:04:13.586
Among those who loved me there was...
12
00:04:14.153 --> 00:04:16.531
one named Jal Al-u-Din Mohammed Akbar
13
00:04:17.590 --> 00:04:19.570
Akbar loved me
14
00:04:20.126 --> 00:04:23.107
Standing high above the divisions
of religion and tradition...
15
00:04:23.529 --> 00:04:26.100
he taught people to love one another
16
00:04:26.799 --> 00:04:29.678
And he held me in his embrace
for ever
17
00:04:30.803 --> 00:04:35.309
This is the palace
of the Emperor Akbar
18
00:04:36.242 --> 00:04:38.779
Now its every nook and cranny...
19
00:04:39.479 --> 00:04:42.585
can tell stories of bygone days
20
00:04:43.549 --> 00:04:46.291
Far from the comforts...
21
00:04:46.819 --> 00:04:50.733
of his splendid palace...
22
00:04:52.492 --> 00:04:56.463
in this scorching desert...
23
00:04:57.530 --> 00:05:04.243
walking barefoot
on the burning sand...
24
00:05:05.138 --> 00:05:07.084
is Akbar the Great
25
00:05:09.375 --> 00:05:11.753
The despair in his eyes is because...
26
00:05:12.445 --> 00:05:17.360
he had yet to see
the smiling face of an offspring
27
00:05:18.384 --> 00:05:23.094
Akbar's pilgrimage is
to a hermitage...
28
00:05:23.723 --> 00:05:28.695
of the Saint
Sheikh Salim-u-din Chisti...
29
00:05:30.697 --> 00:05:34.668
in the hope that through
his prayers...
30
00:05:35.468 --> 00:05:38.278
God might bless Akbar with a son
31
00:05:41.140 --> 00:05:43.780
In the entire royal caravan...
32
00:05:44.477 --> 00:05:48.653
Akbar the Great alone had vowed
to walk on foot
33
00:05:50.717 --> 00:05:53.926
At last he reached his destination
34
00:05:56.489 --> 00:06:01.563
The Emperor, before whom
the world bowed...
35
00:06:02.161 --> 00:06:05.574
bowed his head before a fakir
36
00:06:06.466 --> 00:06:11.814
God never refuses the entreaty
of his devotees
37
00:06:13.106 --> 00:06:15.086
Lift your hands in prayer...
38
00:06:15.775 --> 00:06:17.448
I shall join you
39
00:06:21.180 --> 00:06:23.091
O Emperor of Emperors
40
00:06:25.118 --> 00:06:29.089
You have bestowed
on this insignificant man...
41
00:06:29.389 --> 00:06:32.097
boundless wealth from your treasury
42
00:06:33.793 --> 00:06:37.570
I have been called Protector
of the world, and Shadow of God
43
00:06:40.133 --> 00:06:43.444
Let me now hear a voice
that calls me father
44
00:06:45.538 --> 00:06:47.518
O Master of the Two Worlds...
45
00:06:49.142 --> 00:06:51.645
let me not die without a trace
46
00:06:57.850 --> 00:07:00.490
He shall bless Queen Jodha
with a child
47
00:07:26.145 --> 00:07:29.592
Congratulations, Your Majesty
48
00:07:31.117 --> 00:07:35.429
God has blessed you with a son...
49
00:07:35.888 --> 00:07:38.095
and an heir to the Mughal Empire
50
00:07:38.458 --> 00:07:40.438
Praise be to Allah!
51
00:07:42.128 --> 00:07:45.769
You have brought a message of joy
to the dispirited life of Akbar
52
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:53.113
Take this ring as a token
53
00:07:59.145 --> 00:08:01.591
I swear by these sacred scales
of justice
54
00:08:03.182 --> 00:08:05.662
that whatever you may request of me...
55
00:08:08.087 --> 00:08:10.067
shall be granted
56
00:08:12.892 --> 00:08:14.872
In the passage of time...
57
00:08:15.428 --> 00:08:22.607
the Prince revealed
his mischievous nature
58
00:08:30.109 --> 00:08:31.087
Prince!
59
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:35.659
These scales are not your playthings
60
00:08:36.449 --> 00:08:38.759
Are they the Emperor's playthings?
- No
61
00:08:39.719 --> 00:08:42.097
Emperor Babar's sacred scales...
62
00:08:42.522 --> 00:08:44.763
are an emblem of
Mughal emperors' justice
63
00:08:45.458 --> 00:08:46.630
Wonderful!
64
00:08:47.126 --> 00:08:51.506
Prince, please learn these words
you will say in the Court
65
00:08:52.131 --> 00:08:55.112
It is a command?
- No, a request
66
00:08:56.536 --> 00:08:58.106
Then I shall try
67
00:08:58.804 --> 00:09:03.253
The Prince's insubordination
increased...
68
00:09:04.343 --> 00:09:09.725
and he overstepped the bounds
of respect
69
00:09:15.621 --> 00:09:19.068
Take this and let it float
on the currents of Jamuna
70
00:09:21.627 --> 00:09:26.633
The grandeur of Mughals
began to waver...
71
00:09:27.667 --> 00:09:30.705
and the intoxicated Prince Salim
started staggering
72
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.391
To Akbar the Great...
73
00:09:43.783 --> 00:09:48.528
the future of India seemed bleak
74
00:09:56.529 --> 00:09:58.634
I shall not see that evil day...
75
00:09:59.231 --> 00:10:03.475
when Mughal greatness becomes the toy
of a profligate Prince
76
00:10:06.138 --> 00:10:07.378
Mansingh
77
00:10:10.142 --> 00:10:13.123
Divest him of his
mother's tender love...
78
00:10:14.146 --> 00:10:16.126
and clad him in armour
79
00:10:17.149 --> 00:10:20.687
Nurture him in the scorching
sand-storms...
80
00:10:21.153 --> 00:10:23.133
of the battlefield
81
00:10:32.698 --> 00:10:36.669
I entrust you with the future
of the Mughals
82
00:11:06.132 --> 00:11:11.104
Salim has performed his duty
as we would have wished
83
00:11:19.145 --> 00:11:22.456
My darling, my child!
84
00:11:23.716 --> 00:11:26.128
ls this the magnificent
Queen of India?
85
00:11:28.154 --> 00:11:33.797
No, Your Majesty. Merely a mother
86
00:11:35.494 --> 00:11:37.474
I was not aware...
87
00:11:38.164 --> 00:11:44.638
that a mother's weakness
would make...
88
00:11:45.504 --> 00:11:47.484
Queen Jodha forget her dignity
89
00:11:49.208 --> 00:11:52.678
Your Majesty, does Mughal rule...
90
00:11:53.179 --> 00:11:56.592
not allow a mother to pine and weep...
91
00:11:57.249 --> 00:12:00.162
when her son's blood
is pitilessly shed?
92
00:12:00.553 --> 00:12:05.093
She may pine, but not weep
93
00:12:07.126 --> 00:12:09.504
If all the mothers of other sons...
94
00:12:10.196 --> 00:12:13.109
on the battlefield were to weep...
95
00:12:14.166 --> 00:12:17.545
then India would drown in tears
96
00:12:26.145 --> 00:12:29.592
Distribute gems among the poor
equal to the weight of this armour
97
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:43.299
For fourteen years, Prince Salim...
98
00:12:43.562 --> 00:12:47.135
was nurtured on the battlefields
99
00:12:47.533 --> 00:12:51.811
He became a victorious general
100
00:13:32.211 --> 00:13:34.714
Have the Prince's wounds
not been cleansed?
101
00:13:35.347 --> 00:13:37.122
We are not allowed in
102
00:13:48.494 --> 00:13:51.805
The surgeon is waiting. Prince,
do you not want your wounds cleansed?
103
00:13:52.698 --> 00:13:54.678
They are not wounds, but flowers
104
00:13:56.602 --> 00:13:58.946
For flowers to die
is an insult to spring
105
00:14:00.573 --> 00:14:06.080
It is not only an assassin
but also a beloved;...
106
00:14:07.213 --> 00:14:09.523
It is rose-bough and also a sword
107
00:14:10.115 --> 00:14:15.087
After fourteen years of bloodshed
you are still soaked in poetry
108
00:14:15.688 --> 00:14:16.666
Astonishing
109
00:14:16.856 --> 00:14:18.836
There is nothing astonishing
110
00:14:20.793 --> 00:14:24.764
Would an Omar Khayyam verse change
if it were written on stone...
111
00:14:26.232 --> 00:14:28.109
instead of gold?
112
00:14:32.805 --> 00:14:35.445
Then whatever your ruler
has thought about me...
113
00:14:36.809 --> 00:14:38.584
is wrong
114
00:14:43.148 --> 00:14:46.595
Why send the story of my
blood-drenched youth page by page?
115
00:14:48.487 --> 00:14:57.134
Send this saga of my life, in blood
and dust, to His Majesty
116
00:14:58.197 --> 00:15:06.617
And none best-fitted to deliver it
than my faithful son, Durjan
117
00:15:20.119 --> 00:15:24.590
May His majesty's good fortune remain!
The Prince has emerged victorious again
118
00:15:27.126 --> 00:15:30.596
How many wounds did your Prince
receive?
119
00:15:31.130 --> 00:15:35.545
Countless. Many blows fell,
but the swords were blunted
120
00:15:36.135 --> 00:15:41.551
They could but not salute the
prince's courage and Akbar's blood
121
00:15:43.943 --> 00:15:46.116
We shall inspect his armour
122
00:15:46.412 --> 00:15:49.689
Instead of armour, the Prince has
sent this message
123
00:15:51.550 --> 00:15:53.530
Let it be read aloud
124
00:15:54.219 --> 00:15:59.362
The Emperor of India,
Jal Al-u-Din Mohammed Akbar
125
00:16:00.893 --> 00:16:06.070
Sire, here is the account of every
morsel of the land...
126
00:16:06.532 --> 00:16:08.876
soaked with the blood of your heir
127
00:16:09.435 --> 00:16:12.575
For fourteen years, this land
engulfed in the flames of war...
128
00:16:13.105 --> 00:16:16.086
has sucked your blood
which flows in my veins
129
00:16:16.575 --> 00:16:18.612
The flames are extinguished...
130
00:16:19.178 --> 00:16:23.684
but there is still blood
in Salim's body
131
00:16:24.917 --> 00:16:31.527
Command me, and I shall stain the
valleys of the south with my blood
132
00:16:32.391 --> 00:16:34.598
Sire, your humble servant, Salim
133
00:16:35.194 --> 00:16:37.105
All praise to Allah!
134
00:16:38.230 --> 00:16:40.710
Today Salim has become our heir
135
00:16:42.468 --> 00:16:44.106
Chief Scribe
136
00:16:44.870 --> 00:16:51.446
Send a command to the Prince
to return to the Court
137
00:16:51.810 --> 00:16:54.518
Congratulations
on the Prince's return
138
00:17:11.163 --> 00:17:15.612
O Lord, you are silent.
Let me see Salim's face
139
00:17:16.902 --> 00:17:21.351
His Majesty has ordered Durjan to
bring the prince back to the Court
140
00:17:24.810 --> 00:17:28.519
Bahaar, you have come with a
message of joy to dry our tears
141
00:17:29.214 --> 00:17:32.525
I shall reward you
with plentiful pearls
142
00:17:33.118 --> 00:17:37.430
It is not enough. I want the prince to
walk on pearls, when he returns
143
00:17:37.790 --> 00:17:41.636
And more than that, Bahaar.
I allow you everything for Salim
144
00:17:43.629 --> 00:17:46.610
My son is returning after many years
145
00:17:48.133 --> 00:17:50.443
I shall ask the Emperor to
let me have him
146
00:17:52.471 --> 00:17:54.678
He has seen his father's
manner of rule...
147
00:17:57.142 --> 00:17:59.122
but not the love of his mother
148
00:18:01.113 --> 00:18:06.620
Tell the Court Dancer to prepare
an elegant dance...
149
00:18:07.252 --> 00:18:10.392
to erase the fiery images of war
from Salim's eyes
150
00:18:11.156 --> 00:18:16.071
And tell Tansen to compose such
melodies for Salim's welcome
151
00:18:16.528 --> 00:18:19.668
that he will forget the bellow
of cannons
152
00:18:20.432 --> 00:18:24.073
Bahaar, encircle Salim with
everlasting spring
153
00:18:25.104 --> 00:18:27.584
Make a thousand moons glow
for my son
154
00:18:28.474 --> 00:18:31.785
Where his steps fall, let there be
an astral carpet
155
00:18:33.112 --> 00:18:35.615
And wherever he glances,
let there be heaven
156
00:18:36.448 --> 00:18:43.093
All that my heart yearns for
but cannot express
157
00:18:54.199 --> 00:18:57.510
O Lord, let that auspicious moment
come soon
158
00:18:58.570 --> 00:19:01.312
when my son shall be before
my eyes
159
00:19:03.075 --> 00:19:05.715
Then I shall even forget you
for a while
160
00:19:13.785 --> 00:19:15.628
Sculptor
161
00:19:20.192 --> 00:19:22.604
The Spring (Bahaar) of the palace
in my deserted workshop?
162
00:19:23.228 --> 00:19:25.731
I have come for a statue
for the Prince
163
00:19:32.104 --> 00:19:37.076
The princes and emperors do not like
my statues
164
00:19:38.110 --> 00:19:40.420
Why not?
- Because they speak the truth
165
00:19:41.180 --> 00:19:49.099
This is the Royal Court, every word
of the Emperor is justice
166
00:19:51.223 --> 00:19:53.203
None can appeal against it
167
00:19:54.126 --> 00:19:56.106
And here is a battlefield
168
00:19:57.129 --> 00:20:02.203
The blood of millions shed for
the triumph of one man
169
00:20:03.468 --> 00:20:06.449
And this is for speaking the truth
170
00:20:10.309 --> 00:20:11.447
Death
171
00:20:11.810 --> 00:20:15.815
That is not true, it is
an artist's complaint
172
00:20:17.282 --> 00:20:21.458
The mind accepts the beauty of
your art, the heart does not
173
00:20:23.188 --> 00:20:29.139
What good is that statue if
a proud head does not bow before it?
174
00:20:31.630 --> 00:20:36.579
Then I will make a statue at whose
feet a warrior will lay his sword...
175
00:20:38.270 --> 00:20:40.250
a king his crown...
176
00:20:42.174 --> 00:20:44.814
and a person his heart
177
00:21:01.793 --> 00:21:03.773
One is crowned by another's hands
178
00:21:04.129 --> 00:21:06.632
But with one's own courage
179
00:21:07.132 --> 00:21:09.635
I hope no one comes.
Have you no fear?
180
00:21:11.536 --> 00:21:17.111
Fear? The crown does not rest upon
fearful heads
181
00:21:18.143 --> 00:21:20.453
You wish to become queen of
this glorious country
182
00:21:21.847 --> 00:21:24.453
So many others dream the same
183
00:21:25.150 --> 00:21:27.130
Let them dream
184
00:21:29.488 --> 00:21:31.468
Look into my eyes
185
00:21:38.163 --> 00:21:41.633
Like the eyes of a drunkard who has
picked up a sword instead of a goblet
186
00:21:42.501 --> 00:21:44.811
Do you plan to pluck stars
from the sky?
187
00:21:46.171 --> 00:21:48.708
Sometimes the stars fall to earth
188
00:21:50.509 --> 00:21:55.151
For a haughty Prince, my one
submissive glance is enough
189
00:21:58.183 --> 00:22:00.595
Only three more hours before
break of day
190
00:22:01.453 --> 00:22:03.694
Here is the last pearl of time-keeping
191
00:22:09.795 --> 00:22:11.775
Let the price of this pearl be paid
192
00:22:50.168 --> 00:22:53.479
Will the Emperor wear armour
to welcome his son?
193
00:22:54.806 --> 00:23:00.415
We are not welcoming our son,
but a brave soldier of India
194
00:23:11.556 --> 00:23:16.096
Your Majesty, I have not seen Salim
grow from child to man
195
00:23:16.528 --> 00:23:18.906
Do not bring him to me at once
196
00:24:09.114 --> 00:24:10.752
News of the prince!
197
00:24:11.283 --> 00:24:13.092
The Prince has entered the Fort
198
00:24:13.351 --> 00:24:16.093
Charity, to save the Prince
from the evil eye
199
00:24:22.527 --> 00:24:29.308
His Majesty welcomed the Prince
and embraced him
200
00:24:32.471 --> 00:24:36.112
The Prince is passing through
The Great Hall
201
00:24:36.475 --> 00:24:39.615
There are carpets of flowers to welcome
him but he cares naught for the pomp...
202
00:24:39.811 --> 00:24:41.791
He is firm
in his steps as he walks in here
203
00:24:47.486 --> 00:24:50.797
His Majesty has given the prince
permission to come here
204
00:24:56.228 --> 00:24:57.730
The Prince is coming
205
00:25:01.433 --> 00:25:06.143
ls the world swaying with joy,
or am I swooning?
206
00:25:07.105 --> 00:25:09.779
Bahaar, help me
207
00:25:15.113 --> 00:25:20.426
Who knows in what voice
he will call me mother?
208
00:25:22.454 --> 00:25:26.095
How can I hear this new voice?
209
00:25:28.193 --> 00:25:33.575
The word "mother" will echo in the
realm of motherhood
210
00:25:36.134 --> 00:25:39.115
I hope that echo will not
stop my heart
211
00:26:19.778 --> 00:26:22.554
Mother, look at me. I am here
212
00:26:29.120 --> 00:26:31.430
Salim, you have grown so big
213
00:26:33.124 --> 00:26:35.627
I used to see your face close to mine
214
00:26:37.829 --> 00:26:40.639
Bow down a little, Salim
215
00:26:47.539 --> 00:26:49.519
So you have become a great warrior
216
00:26:53.144 --> 00:26:55.784
How cruelly you have shed my blood
217
00:26:58.149 --> 00:27:02.222
Did you not think how these wounds
would alarm your mother?
218
00:27:05.857 --> 00:27:09.066
If you had but once called out
to me on the battlefield...
219
00:27:10.695 --> 00:27:13.403
lullabies would have flowed
from the clash of swords
220
00:27:16.101 --> 00:27:18.411
The battlefield would have become
a mother's lap
221
00:27:21.439 --> 00:27:23.578
But you never cried out to me
222
00:27:31.349 --> 00:27:34.489
Salim, My child
223
00:27:37.155 --> 00:27:40.364
Bahar, take him away, or I shall
cast an evil eye on him
224
00:28:55.600 --> 00:28:57.773
Eyes long to glimpse you...
225
00:28:59.137 --> 00:29:01.048
paths await your steps
226
00:29:13.084 --> 00:29:19.729
"On an auspicious day
the Prince has returned"
227
00:29:33.104 --> 00:29:35.084
Who is hiding from me, Bahar?
228
00:29:35.507 --> 00:29:38.078
Not hiding, but hidden, Prince
229
00:29:40.178 --> 00:29:43.751
The sculptor claims that when
this statue is unveiled...
230
00:29:46.117 --> 00:29:49.564
Speak. Sometimes such claims
are interesting
231
00:29:50.121 --> 00:29:53.568
On seeing this statue a warrior
will lay his sword at its feet...
232
00:29:54.125 --> 00:29:58.574
a king his crown and
a person his heart
233
00:29:59.697 --> 00:30:02.576
The claim is too interesting
to resist
234
00:30:04.402 --> 00:30:06.382
I shall view his arrogance
235
00:30:06.571 --> 00:30:09.711
It is His Majesty's order that the
prince should not see the statue now
236
00:30:11.142 --> 00:30:15.852
The Royal Astrologer says it will be
a bad omen...
237
00:30:16.414 --> 00:30:19.395
if the Prince looks at any statue
before this moon has set
238
00:30:19.884 --> 00:30:22.387
His Majesty will attend the
unveiling tomorrow morning
239
00:30:23.588 --> 00:30:28.128
On one hand, the sculptor's claim;
on the other hand, the prediction
240
00:30:29.627 --> 00:30:31.607
And the statue is shrouded
241
00:30:32.931 --> 00:30:35.138
How can I wait until morning, Durjan?
242
00:30:51.182 --> 00:30:53.560
The Sculptoļ¬s claim is justified
243
00:30:57.922 --> 00:31:01.426
Only stone can endure the power
of infinite beauty
244
00:31:05.864 --> 00:31:08.572
I am tempted to accept the
divinity of idols
245
00:31:09.133 --> 00:31:11.443
The Prince would be accused
of idolatory
246
00:31:11.803 --> 00:31:13.783
But also praised for showing faith
247
00:32:05.323 --> 00:32:09.533
I could not complete the statue. You
must again stand in its place tomorrow
248
00:32:10.128 --> 00:32:13.598
The Prince has seen me;
he praised your art
249
00:32:14.132 --> 00:32:16.112
Within that praise is also a
secret love for you
250
00:32:16.301 --> 00:32:18.281
Love for whom?
- For you
251
00:32:38.156 --> 00:32:40.329
I beg to make a suggestion
252
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:45.664
In the legends, unveiling was done
with an arrow
253
00:32:48.166 --> 00:32:49.804
We like your suggestion
254
00:32:51.336 --> 00:32:53.543
Legends can also be made
into reality
255
00:32:54.172 --> 00:32:56.152
Your Majesty, it shall be done
256
00:33:45.223 --> 00:33:50.832
Praise be to Allah! It seems an angel
has descended from heaven...
257
00:33:51.829 --> 00:33:53.809
and taken form in marble
258
00:34:04.108 --> 00:34:07.089
lam no angel, but a human being
259
00:34:07.512 --> 00:34:11.085
Then who forced you to
become a statue?
260
00:34:12.583 --> 00:34:18.431
A wilful sculptor of your realm
who prefers anonymity
261
00:34:19.457 --> 00:34:22.700
His art is indeed praiseworthy
262
00:34:24.295 --> 00:34:28.437
But why did you remain silent
when the arrow was shot?
263
00:34:30.134 --> 00:34:35.675
I wanted to see how a legend
becomes a realty
264
00:34:36.307 --> 00:34:40.346
Splendid! We admire your courage
265
00:34:41.646 --> 00:34:43.125
Queen
266
00:34:43.815 --> 00:34:45.795
Let her be one of your maids
267
00:34:48.553 --> 00:34:53.127
We bestow the title of Anarkali
on her
268
00:34:59.964 --> 00:35:02.570
Tomorrow, when we celebrate
Lord Krishna's birthday, Anarkali...
269
00:35:03.101 --> 00:35:05.081
will be a suitable Radha
270
00:35:07.105 --> 00:35:09.085
You have taken the words
out of my mouth
271
00:36:58.149 --> 00:37:05.328
"Krishna teased me at the well"
272
00:37:09.193 --> 00:37:16.509
"He twisted my delicate wrist"
273
00:38:00.144 --> 00:38:06.720
"He cast a pebble at my pitcher
"My garment was dripping wet"
274
00:39:06.110 --> 00:39:10.058
"He cast a magic glance...
275
00:39:10.414 --> 00:39:13.395
"and won my heart"
276
00:39:22.426 --> 00:39:29.401
"With his glance, he pierced my veil"
277
00:40:44.175 --> 00:40:45.483
What happened Suraiya?
278
00:40:45.776 --> 00:40:51.158
You are in love, sister
279
00:40:52.183 --> 00:40:55.164
Who can I be in love with?
280
00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:57.499
He who is in love with you
281
00:40:59.190 --> 00:41:00.760
Who?
- The Prince
282
00:41:01.125 --> 00:41:02.103
Be silent Suraiya
283
00:41:02.293 --> 00:41:04.830
Don't order me to be quiet,
until you are Queen
284
00:41:08.732 --> 00:41:14.512
For God's sake, as a maid I dare not
entertain such dreams
285
00:41:16.841 --> 00:41:21.119
He is the Prince,
the future King of India
286
00:41:21.512 --> 00:41:23.116
So What?
287
00:41:25.149 --> 00:41:30.531
No doubt kings come from God, but
their Queens can come from anywhere
288
00:41:31.522 --> 00:41:35.698
What possible relation can exist
between heaven and earth?
289
00:41:37.161 --> 00:41:39.141
Then what do you want to be?
290
00:41:39.663 --> 00:41:42.701
A maid.
- But of the Prince
291
00:41:43.200 --> 00:41:46.807
It will be a calamity if someone hears
you mention his name
292
00:41:47.505 --> 00:41:51.351
People will hear of it,
as always with love.
293
00:41:52.843 --> 00:41:53.821
I know
294
00:41:54.178 --> 00:41:56.158
Then why be afraid of getting
a bad name?
295
00:41:56.914 --> 00:41:58.894
I am not afraid of getting
a bad name?
296
00:42:01.118 --> 00:42:05.692
I don't want him to get a bad name.
- Then say farewell to love
297
00:42:06.290 --> 00:42:08.429
If you have courage, come with me
298
00:42:09.159 --> 00:42:13.107
To where someone's eyes are longing
to see you
299
00:42:15.132 --> 00:42:18.113
Now I cannot bear those eyes
300
00:42:21.305 --> 00:42:23.410
Let me stay here
301
00:42:23.741 --> 00:42:27.780
Stay, then. But I have the courage
to face him
302
00:42:31.749 --> 00:42:34.457
Have you lost your senses?
303
00:42:35.152 --> 00:42:39.623
That's it: I'll ask the Prince why
people who see him lose their senses
304
00:42:43.160 --> 00:42:45.800
Even yearnings do not become
insolent in his presence
305
00:42:46.263 --> 00:42:49.574
That might be true only if he has no
yearnings himself
306
00:42:51.168 --> 00:42:55.480
Now, love has put him in a state
where he cannot perceive insolence
307
00:42:56.173 --> 00:42:57.151
Suraiya!
308
00:43:01.445 --> 00:43:02.788
Why have you come here?
- I have come here
309
00:43:03.147 --> 00:43:05.684
With whose permission?
- My heart's
310
00:43:05.916 --> 00:43:06.894
Go away
311
00:43:07.284 --> 00:43:08.422
No
312
00:43:09.353 --> 00:43:11.094
Allow her, Durjan
313
00:43:13.824 --> 00:43:15.701
What do you want?
- To find out...
314
00:43:16.126 --> 00:43:18.572
why those who look at you
lose their senses
315
00:43:19.196 --> 00:43:23.440
Who said that?
- My sister, who has lost her senses
316
00:43:23.634 --> 00:43:24.772
lnsolent girl
317
00:43:25.135 --> 00:43:26.671
My name is Suraiya
318
00:43:27.571 --> 00:43:29.551
And your sister calls you Suraiya?
319
00:43:29.940 --> 00:43:31.920
She used to.
- And now?
320
00:43:32.276 --> 00:43:35.450
Now she has forgotten all names
but one
321
00:43:36.146 --> 00:43:37.124
The Prince
322
00:43:45.155 --> 00:43:47.135
Take this message to your sister
323
00:43:53.163 --> 00:43:55.143
Such a letter will be dangerous
324
00:43:55.833 --> 00:43:58.814
Fall in love, and you will lose fear
325
00:44:11.548 --> 00:44:14.757
Sister, why so dreamy?
326
00:44:16.654 --> 00:44:18.497
Take this letter
327
00:44:18.922 --> 00:44:20.094
What letter?
328
00:44:20.290 --> 00:44:22.531
From the Prince.
- Allah?
329
00:44:22.826 --> 00:44:26.433
Call upon Allah and you'll get
another letter
330
00:44:26.830 --> 00:44:30.107
It quivers: perhaps the Prince's heart
is in it
331
00:44:32.236 --> 00:44:33.579
Take it
332
00:44:39.877 --> 00:44:40.855
No
333
00:44:41.211 --> 00:44:45.125
You gave your heart so quickly.
To take another's, why do you tarry?
334
00:45:27.157 --> 00:45:32.766
Beautiful Anarkali, dearest Anarkali
335
00:45:34.131 --> 00:45:36.441
Accept my salutations
336
00:45:37.134 --> 00:45:39.614
My heart is restless, because
of the sorrow of separation
337
00:45:41.138 --> 00:45:45.917
Day and night, I remember you. I die
338
00:45:50.314 --> 00:45:51.622
God forbid
339
00:45:53.217 --> 00:45:55.128
I die with longing
340
00:46:02.226 --> 00:46:08.074
This night I shall await you in the
Western Garden
341
00:46:09.833 --> 00:46:15.078
Place your reply in a lotus and
float it soon on the stream
342
00:46:17.107 --> 00:46:21.522
Forget not, O love,
I await your reply
343
00:46:23.580 --> 00:46:24.558
Salim
344
00:47:48.799 --> 00:47:50.437
She refuses?
345
00:47:52.135 --> 00:47:53.705
Yes, she refuses
346
00:47:54.504 --> 00:47:55.482
Reason?
347
00:47:56.573 --> 00:47:59.554
Because she is only a maid
and unfortunately, I am a prince
348
00:48:00.143 --> 00:48:02.384
And both positions are irrevocable
349
00:48:04.081 --> 00:48:07.392
And we are human being;
that, too, is irrevocable
350
00:48:28.405 --> 00:48:33.753
The heart sought sustenance from
the song and went beyond its limits
351
00:48:35.112 --> 00:48:40.562
Prince, the sun illuminates
every corner of the universe
352
00:48:42.786 --> 00:48:45.096
Why, then did the sun trouble
to step in here?
353
00:48:45.489 --> 00:48:47.662
To become one with the moon
354
00:48:49.126 --> 00:48:52.107
Do not invite ignominy to
your princehood
355
00:48:53.463 --> 00:48:56.706
You are the master,
I am only a servant
356
00:48:57.801 --> 00:49:00.714
Today I shall break down this wall
of high and low
357
00:49:03.874 --> 00:49:05.444
Sit down, Anarkali
358
00:49:10.080 --> 00:49:11.058
Prince
359
00:49:25.095 --> 00:49:27.666
Anarkali, look at me
360
00:49:30.133 --> 00:49:33.080
I want to see the confession of
my love reflected in your eyes
361
00:49:37.908 --> 00:49:39.888
Do not look into my eyes
362
00:49:41.111 --> 00:49:44.558
You will see nothing
but the fearful longing of a maid
363
00:49:45.115 --> 00:49:51.589
Forget you are a maid. Let Salim read
in your eyes what you fear to say
364
00:49:54.124 --> 00:49:56.570
Do not rob my dreams, from my eyes
365
00:49:59.129 --> 00:50:00.437
It would kill me
366
00:50:04.134 --> 00:50:06.444
I shall change those dreams
into reality
367
00:50:12.743 --> 00:50:14.120
Daughter, where are you?
368
00:50:14.244 --> 00:50:16.690
Prince!
- Let her, see
369
00:50:18.148 --> 00:50:21.823
I can suffer separation from you,
but not your disgrace
370
00:51:09.466 --> 00:51:14.882
Oracle, tell me what will happen?
371
00:51:30.520 --> 00:51:32.557
What does that augury mean, sister?
372
00:51:36.359 --> 00:51:37.667
It means:
373
00:51:40.163 --> 00:51:44.908
My heart has escaped me
374
00:51:47.838 --> 00:51:54.483
May the world never know the pain
hidden in it
375
00:51:55.178 --> 00:51:58.716
What has happened to you?
Aren't you afraid of loneliness?
376
00:52:00.183 --> 00:52:02.686
Everyone asks for you. Come with me
377
00:52:03.120 --> 00:52:07.466
No, I fear the world...
378
00:52:10.193 --> 00:52:16.439
might read my secret thoughts
from my face
379
00:52:29.880 --> 00:52:32.224
Why do you seem so lost daughter?
380
00:52:33.150 --> 00:52:37.530
If you avoid other people...
381
00:52:37.921 --> 00:52:42.529
they will say that the honour of
Who can call a helpless person proud?
382
00:52:48.832 --> 00:52:50.709
Enemies cannot be stopped
from talking
383
00:52:51.268 --> 00:52:53.544
What do you know of the tales
of the palaces?
384
00:52:53.970 --> 00:52:55.142
Come, Bahaar
385
00:52:56.306 --> 00:52:59.150
Take her with you sometimes.
- Do not worry
386
00:52:59.609 --> 00:53:02.419
I have come to take her with me.
- Bless you!
387
00:53:02.812 --> 00:53:04.792
Take care of her
388
00:53:09.452 --> 00:53:13.662
Anarkali, how beautiful
is your new name
389
00:53:16.193 --> 00:53:23.509
Like Shama, the name of the candle
390
00:53:24.134 --> 00:53:26.614
Since you have become
Shama (flame), why fear moths?
391
00:53:28.238 --> 00:53:29.546
What moths?
392
00:53:29.739 --> 00:53:33.778
Me, for instance. Why not join
our company sometimes
393
00:53:34.211 --> 00:53:35.451
company?
394
00:53:36.146 --> 00:53:41.789
I have arranged a melodic debate.
How nice if you took one side
395
00:53:43.153 --> 00:53:45.133
And?
- And I the other
396
00:53:45.522 --> 00:53:48.128
And?
- The prince will be the judge...
397
00:53:49.159 --> 00:53:51.139
of our performance
398
00:54:12.249 --> 00:54:20.760
"In your company, we want to see
What fate has in store for us"
399
00:54:21.691 --> 00:54:27.107
"We shall see what happens if we come
closer to you for a moment"
400
00:54:32.736 --> 00:54:35.444
"We shall see"
401
00:54:39.542 --> 00:54:47.290
"In your company, we want to see
what fate has in store for us"
402
00:54:47.951 --> 00:54:53.458
"We shall see what happens
when we supplicate before you"
403
00:54:59.162 --> 00:55:01.472
"We shall see"
404
00:55:09.172 --> 00:55:17.421
"Today, spring has brought
the message of love"
405
00:55:18.114 --> 00:55:26.431
"The buds of hope have blossomed
after a long duration"
406
00:55:38.134 --> 00:55:43.277
"We shall see what happens by evading
the pain of love"
407
00:55:57.153 --> 00:56:04.401
"How can one relish life
without pain?"
408
00:56:05.095 --> 00:56:07.405
"Without vitality..."
409
00:56:07.697 --> 00:56:12.077
"how can one relish
the taste of tears?"
410
00:56:22.212 --> 00:56:27.423
"We shall see, by shedding tears for
love of some one"
411
00:56:48.505 --> 00:56:55.480
"The one story of lovers..."
412
00:56:56.146 --> 00:56:58.626
"is to pine..."
413
00:56:59.149 --> 00:57:03.529
"heave sighs and choke to death"
414
00:57:13.296 --> 00:57:18.405
"We shall see, some day, this
spectacle - with a smile"
415
00:57:36.553 --> 00:57:40.399
"We agree that..."
416
00:57:41.124 --> 00:57:46.096
"love devastates life"
417
00:57:47.464 --> 00:57:50.104
"Yet is it not fulfilling..."
418
00:57:50.467 --> 00:57:56.281
"that after death the world
remembers you?"
419
00:58:06.082 --> 00:58:11.054
"We shall see, by staking our world
for someone's love"
420
00:58:47.123 --> 00:58:53.506
The only story for lovers is to pine,
Heave sighs, and choke to death
421
00:58:54.797 --> 00:58:57.539
We shall see, some day, this
spectacle - With a smile
422
00:58:59.469 --> 00:59:02.382
Your opinion of love deserves
this flower
423
00:59:08.411 --> 00:59:14.054
Anarkali, your opinion is:
We agree that love devastates life
424
00:59:15.084 --> 00:59:17.496
Yet is it not fulfilling that after
death the world remembers you?
425
00:59:19.088 --> 00:59:21.398
We shall see, by staking our world
for someone's love
426
00:59:22.425 --> 00:59:24.405
For that you get these thorns
427
00:59:25.762 --> 00:59:27.742
I am fortunate
428
00:59:32.101 --> 00:59:34.081
Thorns need not fear of fading
429
01:00:00.296 --> 01:00:01.775
What is that Mansingh?
430
01:00:02.198 --> 01:00:05.179
Papers concerning Ajmer province
431
01:00:06.469 --> 01:00:08.449
For our consideration?
- Yes Sir
432
01:00:09.872 --> 01:00:15.117
Do you not know that we have given
Ajmer to the Prince?
433
01:00:15.478 --> 01:00:18.322
I know, sire.
- Then these papers?
434
01:00:18.681 --> 01:00:25.394
Strife may break out in the province;
circumstances oblige me to inform you
435
01:00:25.755 --> 01:00:31.728
Why have you not reminded the Prince
of his responsibilities?
436
01:00:32.261 --> 01:00:36.403
The papers were presented to him
many times, but...
437
01:00:36.699 --> 01:00:38.144
But what Mansingh?
438
01:00:38.434 --> 01:00:41.472
I am unable to find that reason
behind his negligence
439
01:00:41.838 --> 01:00:43.818
I shall find out
440
01:00:45.608 --> 01:00:50.148
Durjan, convey my message to the
Prince, the Governor of Ajmer...
441
01:00:51.180 --> 01:00:54.161
to issue the instructions in
these papers forthwith...
442
01:00:55.184 --> 01:00:59.155
and also tell him
I wish to know...
443
01:01:00.189 --> 01:01:03.102
the reason for his negligence
444
01:01:18.474 --> 01:01:23.116
And tell her that without her
Salim's Life is a dark night
445
01:01:23.846 --> 01:01:24.824
And?
446
01:01:25.214 --> 01:01:29.788
Salim is losing himself in her
contemplation
447
01:01:33.222 --> 01:01:35.395
O ne more message
448
01:01:35.725 --> 01:01:37.398
His Majesty's message...
449
01:01:37.593 --> 01:01:39.800
is that the instructions in
these papers be issued forthwith
450
01:01:47.837 --> 01:01:50.317
Durjan, are you an enemy of love,
to appear at this moment?
451
01:01:50.873 --> 01:01:52.853
Prince, I am your friend
452
01:01:54.510 --> 01:01:58.151
Seek another friend, then you may also
Receive message
453
01:01:58.347 --> 01:02:01.692
Quiet, girl!
- My name is Suraiya; you are forgetful
454
01:02:06.789 --> 01:02:10.293
Prince, I have seen fire in
the Emperor's eyes
455
01:02:11.828 --> 01:02:17.107
Stop this dangerous game, otherwise
people will begin to talk about you
456
01:02:21.504 --> 01:02:23.108
Sister
457
01:02:26.642 --> 01:02:28.246
What has happened to me, Suraiya?
458
01:02:28.478 --> 01:02:31.459
Why don't you ask where
I have come from?
459
01:02:31.748 --> 01:02:36.595
You know that your sister is always
lost in her thoughts
460
01:02:37.153 --> 01:02:41.602
Remain so, then. I've no time to
carry messages hither and thither
461
01:02:45.528 --> 01:02:48.475
Did you meet him? What did he say?
462
01:02:48.831 --> 01:02:54.144
What sort of madness is yours
I shall not tell you
463
01:02:54.370 --> 01:02:56.281
Tell me, or you shall see my funeral
464
01:02:58.174 --> 01:03:00.620
The Prince met me in the garden.
- Then?
465
01:03:05.114 --> 01:03:07.617
He had the look of one
who had not slept
466
01:03:08.117 --> 01:03:11.428
He asked: How is your sister?
467
01:03:13.790 --> 01:03:19.706
Then he took my hand and said,
She must be in the same state as I am?
468
01:03:20.129 --> 01:03:21.767
What did you say?
469
01:03:22.632 --> 01:03:24.270
I told him
470
01:03:25.134 --> 01:03:27.444
And he kissed my forehead
471
01:03:28.137 --> 01:03:29.775
Then what happened?
- He said:...
472
01:03:30.139 --> 01:03:34.110
Tonight, when Tansen
starts to sing his raga...
473
01:03:34.477 --> 01:03:36.650
tell your sister to meet me
in the Western Garden
474
01:03:40.283 --> 01:03:42.456
Why feel embarrassed
to kiss my forehead?
475
01:03:44.187 --> 01:03:47.293
Because the Prince also...?
- I had forgotten that
476
01:03:48.157 --> 01:03:52.469
Sweet forgetfulness. But the Prince
kissed my forehead twice
477
01:04:09.512 --> 01:04:15.190
"Being a devotee of love..."
478
01:04:23.125 --> 01:04:31.101
"l got in search of my handsome love"
479
01:06:27.450 --> 01:06:35.426
"When our eyes meet..."
480
01:06:39.528 --> 01:06:47.504
"my thirst will be quenched"
481
01:08:43.119 --> 01:08:45.099
Perhaps someone is watching us
482
01:08:54.196 --> 01:08:59.168
The impudent person who has dared
to come here must come to my palace
483
01:09:12.748 --> 01:09:14.728
Your servant is here
484
01:09:42.444 --> 01:09:44.651
The disobedience of the dagger
surprises me
485
01:09:45.447 --> 01:09:47.620
And I lament my wretched life
486
01:09:49.552 --> 01:09:54.592
Prince, give one more chance of
victory to the insolent dagger
487
01:09:56.125 --> 01:09:58.105
There is much blood left in my body
488
01:10:13.142 --> 01:10:14.120
Bahaar
489
01:10:20.482 --> 01:10:22.462
What does a candle - flame know?
490
01:10:23.152 --> 01:10:26.133
Murmurs of the night, and secrets
491
01:10:27.923 --> 01:10:33.464
For that reason every candle - flame
is extinguished at break of day
492
01:10:33.896 --> 01:10:34.874
Prince
493
01:10:35.264 --> 01:10:37.471
You tried to know a secret
494
01:10:39.768 --> 01:10:42.146
You, too, could be extinguished
495
01:10:45.174 --> 01:10:46.482
Go now
496
01:10:56.719 --> 01:10:58.426
Anarkali (pomegranate buds)
497
01:11:00.422 --> 01:11:03.494
They are in full bloom in
the Palace Garden
498
01:11:05.127 --> 01:11:07.437
Yet your Majesty has not seen them
499
01:11:18.274 --> 01:11:21.118
And I have not seen our Anarkali
of late, either
500
01:11:22.811 --> 01:11:28.659
Her charming dance would soothe
our weary mind
501
01:11:29.852 --> 01:11:31.354
Present her
502
01:11:32.154 --> 01:11:34.134
She cannot come
503
01:11:35.157 --> 01:11:36.295
Why not?
504
01:11:36.659 --> 01:11:40.300
With Salim, Anarkali shall reign
as Queen of India
505
01:11:42.164 --> 01:11:45.270
Do not raise the paw-dust
to the stature of a crown
506
01:11:45.567 --> 01:11:47.547
That has already happened, Anarkali
507
01:11:48.437 --> 01:11:53.409
I can see that Akbar the Great's
India shall be your domain
508
01:11:53.642 --> 01:11:55.383
For God's sake... please
509
01:11:55.577 --> 01:12:00.424
The destiny of the people of India
shall be within a lock of your hair
510
01:12:02.117 --> 01:12:04.097
And wherever you glance...
511
01:12:04.553 --> 01:12:09.434
thousands will tremble and
the future will shake
512
01:12:24.473 --> 01:12:25.611
His Majesty!
513
01:12:28.243 --> 01:12:32.555
Prince, do not be so bold before
the Emperor. Let me go
514
01:12:34.583 --> 01:12:37.120
The Emperor is coming
515
01:12:39.955 --> 01:12:43.926
If the Emperor sees me here,
my grave will be dug before your eyes
516
01:12:44.526 --> 01:12:46.802
Love that fears is not love,
it is lust and sin
517
01:14:37.473 --> 01:14:39.111
Move!
- No!
518
01:15:06.835 --> 01:15:08.678
Where is he?
519
01:15:08.837 --> 01:15:09.815
who?
520
01:15:10.105 --> 01:15:13.518
Akbar the Great, at whose command
God-given breath is chocked
521
01:15:14.109 --> 01:15:15.349
Speak respectfully
522
01:15:15.611 --> 01:15:21.653
Salim's Anarkali shall not die. I want
His seal on this order to free her
523
01:15:22.117 --> 01:15:23.755
Anarkali shall not be freed
524
01:15:24.119 --> 01:15:25.097
Why not?
525
01:15:25.287 --> 01:15:26.265
Silence!
526
01:15:26.922 --> 01:15:29.095
A Prince should not forget his duty
527
01:15:29.391 --> 01:15:33.430
What duty is that which dares
to crush love?
528
01:15:34.129 --> 01:15:35.767
Your duty is to obey the Emperor
529
01:15:36.131 --> 01:15:41.513
No, it is a punishment for being born
in a king's palace
530
01:15:41.870 --> 01:15:46.580
A punishment that you
shall have to suffer
531
01:15:46.842 --> 01:15:51.120
Then let Anarkali share my
punishment with me
532
01:15:51.480 --> 01:15:53.721
You have no right to meddle
533
01:15:54.149 --> 01:15:56.390
But I have a right to my life
534
01:15:57.553 --> 01:16:02.559
If Anarkali is not freed, this night
she spends in the prison
535
01:16:04.092 --> 01:16:07.073
will ruin the plans of
Akbar the Great
536
01:16:58.947 --> 01:17:04.863
"Let me lament
the false story of love"
537
01:17:05.887 --> 01:17:12.395
"l suffered countless hurts"
538
01:17:32.848 --> 01:17:39.561
"Let me lament my youth"
539
01:17:40.122 --> 01:17:46.437
"l lost all my senses"
540
01:17:48.797 --> 01:17:55.180
"Your longing has reduced me to this"
541
01:17:58.140 --> 01:18:03.488
"Let me lament the generosity
of your love"
542
01:18:24.433 --> 01:18:30.577
"Who knew I had to keep silent?"
543
01:18:31.206 --> 01:18:37.487
"l had to live and conceal my love"
544
01:18:40.115 --> 01:18:46.430
"l live, but I lament my life"
545
01:19:16.118 --> 01:19:18.655
Anarkali shall be presented
in the Great Hall
