7 Khoon Maaf Page #3

Instead of Jesus,

she met ''Mohammed''.

Hail Allah!

Hail Allah!

Mohammed Wasiullah Khan.

A.K. A The Traveller.

From the soot of

spiraling everyday smoke..

.. a patch of sky,

now remains blackened..

.. all day long.

Great!

- Wonderful!

Do not bow your head beneath it..

.. for now when you prostrate,

God yanks His feet away.

In the mounds of rotting rubbish..

.. heads of bodies

gone cold still smoulder.

Wonderful! Wonderful!

Hungry four legged animals, fight

over the bones of arms and legs.

The flesh and the bone

belongs to the one..

.. who first digs its

teeth into the flesh.

May I proceed?

- Yes, please.

The flesh and the bone

belongs to the one..

.. who first digs its

teeth into the flesh.

The men of faith now ask, who

first dug his spade into this earth!

Wow!

- Wonderful! - Wonderful!

The men of faith now ask, who

first dug his spade into this earth!

Some say there was

a mosque here once.

Some say no, once a

temple stood here.

Wow! Wow!

- Wonderful!

But when you touch your

forehead to the ground..

God yanks His feet away now.

He cannot bring Himself to believe..

He cannot bring Himself to believe..

.. that He once called

this place, His home.

Wow!

- Wow!

This time, ''Saheb'' not

only had a new lover..

.. but also a new name and religion.

Susanna Anna Marie

Johannes was now..

Sultana Wasiullah Khan.

Thank you.

Wow!

- Wow! - Great!

- One more, please!

Don't go!

One more verse!

My next verse..

- Yes, please.

A day shall dawn..

.. bringing with it a calm..

.. the heart bereft of desires,

the mind devoid of passion..

''Shoreless, totally fathomless''

''Close your eyes, please''

''I have been drowning''

''I need to breathe''

''Shoreless, totally fathomless,

Close your eyes, please''

''I have been drowning,

I need to breathe''

''Lillah!''

''Turn your face away from me''

''It'll be a great kindness''

''Turn your face away from me''

''It'll be a great kindness''

''Ever since I have seen you''

''My breath's stuck''

''Ever since I have seen you''

''My breath's stuck''

''Shoreless, totally fathomless''

''Close your eyes, please''

''I have been drowning''

''I need to breathe''

May I?

- Proceed.

If a flitting glance of yours,

were to graze me

That would be greeting enough..

.. and I'll keep my

eyes forever lowered.

Wow!

Ever since I have seen you

My breath is..

Stuck!

- Brilliant!

Mukarrar!

Who is that?

Your uncle!

''Pray, take a look''

''At your feet''

''Something's stuck, it seems''

''Please ask Time to move on''

''If a flitting glance of yours''

''Were to graze me''

''That would be greeting enough..''

''.. And I'll keep my

eyes forever lowered''

''At your feet''

''Ever since I have seen you''

''My breath's stuck''

''Shoreless, totally fathomless''

''Close your eyes, please''

''I have been drowning''

''I need to breathe''

''Lillah!''

Tender and romantic in his poetry..

.. bastard in bed.

Unless he beat the

sh*t out of the woman..

he remained impotent.

Come on..

Come on, bit me.

Come on, bit me.

I like it.

It's great fun.

Initially she tried hard

to conceal her scars..

.. but her wounds grew deeper.

Love became a myth.

Like a mirage.

You think it's there,

but it really isn't.

Prayers, offerings and sacrifices,

she tried it all.

But nothing worked.

Is it coming from

the heart or the being?

These fumes, from

where do they come?

Love is a heavy stone..

Not for the weak ones.

What does 'Natawan' mean?

''Debilitated.''

Weak..

Feeble.

Sultana!

Sultana!

Cold-blooded!

Why kill someone?

She could've left him and come home.

Who would've stopped her?

As a child, Miss

''Saheb'' would walk to school.

There were two paths.

Both equidistant.

No difference at all.

And one day, there came a crazy dog,

Who scared her every single day.

She could've taken the other path.

She hid her father's

Mouser in her bag..

And bang!

''Saheb'' always gets her way..

And the dogs are blown off!

Ladies and gentlemen,

to present the trophy..

may I now call on stage, our

esteemed guest of honour..

Mr. Nikolai Vronsky.

Science-attach to the

Russian consulate, Sir.

Thank you, sir.

Greetings!

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to

handover this wonderful trophy..

to the winner, but before I do so..

I really would like to

share something with you.

I did bet on this particular horse..

and I won a fortune.

I need to say thank you very much.

I'm grateful to you.

I am Vronsky..

Nikolai Vronsky.

Then I must be Anna!

Anna Karenina is my

favorite character.

I've read the novel, I

don't know.. so many times.

In Hindi.. please.

I'm learning the language.

What else have you picked up?

Okay!

My love for you is eternal.

Let's go, Saheb.

Mr. Vronsky, have you

met my pal here, Arun.

- Is that your full name?

- Yes! Arun.. Arun Kumar.

Anna..

- Anna? - Hold on!

Please have dinner with me..

.. at a nice restaurant today.

I am very rich.

I'm sorry, what?

I mean to say that..

I really would like to

spend this play money on..

.. a nice dinner, somewhere?

Would you please do it to me?

I'm sorry, Mr. Vronsky, I

have a prior engagement.

I do definitely understand that,

but can I at least..

Anna!

Can I at least drop

you to.. your mansion?

Please!

I have my car.

But I have

something better, a mother.

Amitabh Bachchan.

From the movie, Deewar.

It's destiny.

What?

From now on..

no English, no Campa Cola.

Only Russian and Vodka.

Russia and me.. why?

Because you my friend,

are headed to Russia.

To study at St.

Petersburg Medical Academy.

Cheers!

Why?

Because, Nik loves me..

and I love you, my little sugar.

Nik!

To hell I'm going to Russia!

Why not?

Because, I hate vodka.

It's because..

.. you are jealous of the Russians.

Quiet a distance he has walked

A thousand distant miles

Another Pushkin from Russia

Who's left Moscow only

to be with me

Something like this is

possible only in love

Darling

Let your eyes feast on mine

Darling let the passion rush

Don't hold it back

let this love gush

Darling let your eyes feast on mine

Don't hold it back

let this love gush

The Spring's joyless

The beloved's heart's restless

Hold back the songbirds

Darling let your eyes feast on mine

Anna?

That hillock enveloped in mist

Where the fairies once lived

You'll find it

across the high Khyber

That's what all

the fairies still say

Darling

I'm merely a serf, let

me groom the Princess

Let this restless

heart steal a little solace

Let me conquer the

heart of my beloved

Darling let your eyes feast on mine

The Spring's joyless

The beloved's heart's restless

Hold back the songbirds

Darling let your eyes feast on mine

Don't hold it back

let this love gush

Darling let your eyes feast on mine

Don't hold it back

let this love gush

Darling let your eyes feast on mine

Honey..

Good evening, darling!

Did you have to leave

all the guests alone..

by themselves?

Come on back in.

Who were you talking to, Nik?
