The whole world trusts me!

The whole world is my stage!

Only you didn't trust me.

Why do you think that

i am just a beggar?

A mad beggar.

Anwar.

Dipti said that... i

am mentally crippled.

You... what do you think?

I don't want to trouble you.

These are some temple sketches...

...that i had drawn for dipti.

Maybe... You will meet her.

If you get the chance

then give it to her.

I want to stay alone for

a while, anwar. Please.

I am not a beggar!

I am not a beggar!

So welcome master pasha!

Master pasha! Master pasha!

Master pasha! Master pasha!

He has loads of love in his heart.

Love! Love! Love! Love!

He is not a beggar. He is an artist.

He is an artist! He is an artist!

He is an artist!

And i am sure that only you

can make the temple's set.

And i am sure that only you

can make the temple's set.

Udit.

We are from lucknow.

So the embassy people

can reject our visa.

It's not easy to get a visa.

I couldn't believe it.

The passport was in my hand. And

us visa. Very less people...

...my beloved went far away from me.

She stole the solace of my heart.

She left behind the

shadow of sorrow.

Now nothing is left

besides this sorrow.

My beloved went far away from me.

She stole the solace of my heart.

She left behind the

shadow of sorrow.

Now nothing is left

besides this sorrow.

There were only tears.

Now tears too have

been washed away.

My heartbeats say that i should

stop somewhere here.

Before leaving i have decided

to marry... Mehru.

You are a hindu. You

know that, don't you?

If you think that she has nobody

in this world besides...

...her mother then let me tell

you... That you are wrong.

If her relatives got an

inkling of this then...

...your body parts will be found

in the ditches of lucknow.

And as far as mehru is concerned,

she will disappear.

And all this will happen just

because i am a hindu?

Yes.

And you think all this should happen.

No, all this shouldn't happen.

But i know that all this will happen.

What if i eloped with mehru?

You think that the world is vast.

But bigger than that

is that you are a...

...hindu and mehru is a muslim.

Her relatives will set

the world ablaze.

What century are you

talking about, anwar?

This century. The century in

which you and i are living.

The century that is surrounding it.

It will be better if you

stopped meeting mehru.

And stop visiting our houses too.

Mehru.

I don't want to lose you.

I don't want to lose you.

Don't leave me and go.

Anwar, mother will wake up.

- Let her.

Don't act like a child.

I won't be able to live

without you. I will die.

Anwar, forgive me. But i don't

want to say anything right now.

Mehru, i love you.

But i never loved you.

Hit me! Hit me!

- What are you doing?

Hit me! Hit me!

- Leave me!

Because i have loved you!

My heartbeats say that i should

stop somewhere here.

My dream shattered.

I lost my beloved.

Why did i receive this punishment?

There were only tears.

Now tears too have

been washed away.

My heartbeats say that i should

stop somewhere here.

Those moments dispersed far away.

There is only loneliness

in this heart.

I am lonely. I have no hope left.

There is only painful ambiance.

I am alive. But i am

not in my senses.

When my beloved is not with me.

There is only love

and no zest left.

I am in a trance. Now there

is only doomsday.

My beloved went far away from me.

She stole the solace of my heart.

She left behind the

shadow of sorrow.

Now nothing is left

besides this sorrow.

Dear, you have come.

- Don't worry, aunty.

Listen... Have you seen her anywhere?

Aunty, i have searched the

entire lucknow city.

But she is nowhere to be found.

I think she is not in this city.

I know where is mehru.

And then she changed her mind.

Uncle!

You have grown old.

But there is no dearth in

your derogatory nature.

And then she changed her mind.

The culture of lucknow is being

divided into two parts.

Yes.

You are right, brother.

Yesterday i had gone to saharaganj.

One girl had worn clinging

pants and short top.

Brother, everything was visible.

And nowadays youngsters are

in the trance of love.

You are right, brother.

Brother, the bus has arrived.

Stop. Stop it.

Brother, the gun.

- No.

Stop! Stop!

Stop!

Don't start!

Mehru. Mehru. Greetings.

Brother is waiting for you outside.

Udit-bhai, please come outside.

We want to talk urgently

with you. Come.

Mehru, don't worry.

Hey, don't go!

Mehru is my aunt's daughter.

She is like my sister.

If you loved her so much, then

what was the need to elope?

You should have told me. I would

have got both of you married.

Let it be. You tend to

make mistakes in youth.

Will you eat mango? It

is from mallihabad.

What fire have you started?

What fire have you started?

What fire have you started?

Aunty!

Idiot! You had to do all this!

You have tarnished

the family's image.

I can't face anybody in the

whole city of luckbow.

Why did you do this? Shut

Allah! Why didn't i die

before seeing this day!

Why did you create love?

Why did you create pain?

Why did you create pain?

Why did you create pain?

Very good! May allah bestow

you with a long life!

There is a limit of shameful deeds!

This girl has tarnished

our image! Characterless!

Stop her supply of food and

water for a week. - Yes.

- No.

From where can i catch the bus?

- From benaras.

Brother and sisters! No

A bus has departed from the city.

You all remain calm. And

And i request all the

parents not to worry.
