It won't be long now!

Wait! Don't go! Listen!

What made me think...

...I'll never see you again?

No, no!

Mustn't call you back' Go now!

Don't end up marrying

that Parvez somehow!

Ya Allah!

I would rather die!

Shh!

Never say that again!

For now, goodbye'

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

There isn't any time!

Bye Raw no'

I love you, my jam

Love you too, Khan

After this, the game took a turn...

...that no one could have imagined

in their wildest dreams!

Trumped by the Ace!

Ya Allah!

Water! Water!

Wait, wait, Commissioner Sir.

Keep aside your law books

take a breather!

Religious sentiments hurt!

That's not a joke!

In such cases,

anger provokes folk.

Forces? No, no, not yet.

Give it another 24 hours to abate'

Don't send your forces until I call.

Well, will that be all?

All you say is 'l' & 'Me'!

Who is this 'l', tell me?

Tell me, who is 'Me'?

The One deep within, you

never cared to see

The 'l' deep within,

you forgot to see..

All you say is 'Me!'

Who is this 'Me?'

Tell me, who is He?

The One deep within

you don't care to see

The One deep within

you forgot to see

Now down to business!

There is no time to waste

Come at dawn tomorrow...

...to Urmapur crossing straight...

By 5? Don't be late!

Fatima & Zulekha

will start out late tonight

Pappu will take them

there by first light

From there,

the highway is quite near

A truck will be

waiting for you there

You have to get going by six at any rate!

Don't worry...

...all instructions have been given

They'll take you to Mumbai straight.

I'm no sadhu...

...no guru, nor mentor

No Haji

No Maulvi

No hermit either

Neither man, nor woman

Temple, mosque, or pilgrimage

none of these can'

'draw -Me.

No, none of these can draw 'Me'

The 'l' deep within,

you never cared to see

Begum Saheba!

Save us Begum Saheba!

Riots everywhere!

Please give us shelter!

Where else can I go

with this grandchild of mine?

Ya Allah!

What need for this killing & arson?

They've all gone insane..

...killing each other at sight!

Those we've known all our lives..

...have turned strangers overnight!

Very well, until things calm down,

you may stay

Go, close the door - right away!

Zulekha!

Look at me!

Do you love that

murderous kafir, truly?

The One deep within

you never cared to see

The 'l' deep within,

you forgot to see..

Well then, go to him...your cursed infidel!

Fatema will take you to him

as soon as she is able

But there's no returning home

This is your last night, clear?

Fati, bring a dupatta (scarf) here!

Avery dangerous thing, this love!

Your Abbu suffered silently...

...all his life, poor dove!

You, at least,

mustn't let your life'

Fati?

Didn't she wear a moustache

on the day of that party?

No ties have I...

...with where I abide

My link with the body...

...how do I describe?

It's like the birds upon the tree..

Yes, it's like the birds...

...upon the tree

They sit there, yet are free

Like the birds, I'm always free

The One deep within

you never cared to see

The 'l' deep within,

you forgot to see

Look Parvez..

...let's keep it

low key at present.

When you two come back again...

...we'll have a huge banquet

We'll call everyone then

What news of Julie's visa?

We'll get it tomorrow I hear.

Great! So all is good.

One minute'

Yes Deendayal-ji?

Wham!

The other side of the crossing?

'What's the Commissioner doing?

Not sending forces? Why?

Religious sentiment!

I know Deendayal's style!

Okay, thank you Deendayal-ji'

God be with you then

Now, all will go according to plan!

The riot is on!

Fire all about!

By the time it dies down...

...the slum will be wiped out!

Let the ames rise higher'

...douse the ashes, not the fire!

From the ruins of Arshi slum,

let Arshi Mall appear!

So be it

A Sorcerer has set up

His stage devices

In His workshop

we don various guises

When we drop them

at the end of the show...

...where do we go, tell me?

0, where do we go, tell me?

The One deep within

you never cared to see

The 'l' deep within,

you forgot to see

Wait!

That's a Hindu, wait!

Where are you off to, so late?

Who's in the back seat?

- This lady's very sick.

That one is her son.

I know it's risky...

...but I couldn't let them down.

Won't take much longer

Just beyond the level crossing

there's a doctor's chamber.

Okay, drive on then

Better be careful though!

They're waiting at every crossing

letting no one go!

It's always Me'Me'

Me, Me 'Me, Me, Me, Me'

All you say is 'l' & 'Me!'

Who is this 'l', tell me?

Tell me, who is 'Me'?

Mission accomplished, Mr Mitter!

Arshi Tower can now be built.

What could be better?

All according to plan?

A perfect job done!

By the time the police arrive...

...nothing but ashes will remain!

Who is this 'l', tell me?

The One deep within

you never cared to see

The 'l' deep within,

you forgot to see..

Fati, you'd better go!

If anyone sees us

they'll finish us, you know!

Don't worry, I'll be fine

Rawno will soon be here

I'll call you dear,

once we're settled there.

So, I'll go now, shall I?

Take care, my Fati'

God be with you 'Bye!

What's the hurry, Julie?

There is time still'

I've stayed with you

for so many years'
