Jodhaa Akbar Page #3

Please rescue me, Yours, Jodhaa,

No. How can I send

this letter to Sujamal?

- When I know that he's suffering.

- Forgive me, Jodhaa.

What if Prince Ratan Singh

reconsiders marrying you?

If you just tell him you are

opposed to this marriage. Then...

No, Madhavi. In doing that,

I'll be hurting father.

He is convinced this alliance

will safeguard our kingdom.

Disperse!

There is a way out.

Why not send a companion

in your place to marry him?

He has never seen you.

No, mother. If the Mughal Emperor

discovers the truth...

...Amer will have to face his wrath.

They will definitely get to know.

Then, my dear...

...keep this vial of poison...

...drinking poison is better than

losing your honour!

O enchanter of the heart

O enchanter of the heart

My beloved Krishna, heed me

Lord, why me?

How will I find peace without You?

Night and day I pine for You

Abandon Your sacred

cities of Kashi and Mathura

Come and dwell in my eyes

How will I find peace without You?

My beloved Krishna,

night and day I pine for You

- Yes, Princess?

- I have come to a decision.

I wish to meet the Emperor

before I consent to marry.

I have certain conditions.

And for that, she has requested...

...Your Majesty's presence

in her royal tent.

What are these conditions?

They are unknown to me!

I am sorry, she has refused to tell me.

I welcome you...

...I cannot find the words

to express my appreciation...

...that you agreed

to come and hear me out.

I have two conditions -

Only if these are met,

will I marry you.

And what are they?

My first condition -

I will be allowed

to keep my religion, my faith...

...follow my customs and traditions...

...and under no circumstances,

will I be coerced into conversion!

Do you accept?

And?

I will be allowed to bring

an idol of my God with me...

...and for Him, a temple

will be built in my chamber!

These are my two conditions.

King Bharmal's daughter

has put two conditions before me.

Only if I meet them...

...will she consent to marry me.

Her first condition:

She would like to keep

her religion and traditions.

And the second:

A temple should be built in her palace

inside the Mughal fort.

This the first time I have experienced

the legendary Rajput pride and dignity.

I salute the Princess of Amer's

fearless courage and candour!

Let me tell her that I, too...

...am born on the same soil as her.

And I, too, have

the same courage and candour!

I have decided that the alliance

with Princess Jodhaa of Amer...

...is acceptable to me!

Allah willing, her demands

will be met to her satisfaction.

Congratulations!

Your Majesty, congratulations!

Your marriage has given the pilgrims

of Ajmer Sharif new reason to rejoice.

A group of Sufis would like to perform

in honour of Khwaja Gharib Nawaaz.

Khwajaji, O Saint

Khwajaji! O Master

O Benevolent Heeder of the poor

O Moinuddin

O my beloved Khwaja!

Abide in my heart

O King of Kings, O beloved of Ali!

O my beloved Khwaja!

Abide in my heart

You restore the destiny of the helpless

O Saint, I have seen

divine light in Your court

O Saint, men of God

lower their heads in Your court

You are the Peer of the realm of Hindal

You are the Pinnacle

In yearning for You,

beloved Khwajaji...

...we have found the Prophet,

the Chosen One

My master has lead me to You

My master has led me to You

I have found refuge in You

All my troubles have ended

Now I am one with You

No matter how proud I am to be

one with You, it is but little

I shall never leave the place

where Your feet rest

What is the reason

for this sternness?

Does this marriage displease you?

Islam gives women equal rights

to dissolve a marriage.

If you do not want this marriage...

...choose the path of the 'khulla' and

absolve yourself from this marriage.

It is your right!

You can break this bond and be free.

Your customs may permit 'khulla',

But for us,

marriage binds us for seven lifetimes.

I am grateful to you,

for accepting my demands.

I don't know,

why my mind is filled with doubt.

My mind hasn't made

peace with this marriage.

Perhaps, it is because our religion

and cultures are so different.

I did give my consent

to this marriage...

...yet, my heart does not

allow me to be close to you!

I respect you.

I value your feelings.

I will not force myself on you.

I will be close to you when,

God willing, your heart permits.

May Allah give you peace!

Where's the Emperor?

He is leaving for Malwa

on urgent business.

Is everything alright, Jodhaa?

Yes.

The Empress Hamida Banu Begum,

mother of the Emperor!

Welcome, my dear.

May Allah protect you from the evil eye

and keep you well and happy!

Ameen! So be it!

Let me introduce you.

This is Maham Anga...

...Jalaluddin's wet nurse.

She is like a mother to him.

She is also a Minister

in the Mughal Court.

Remember one thing,

Maham Anga has special status.

Jalal regards her above all the others.

More than me.

I have been away most of the time.

She nurtured Jalal

during my 15-year absence.

He may ignore my word,

but never hers.

Do not be apprehensive, Princess.

This is your home!

Salima, escort the Princess

to her royal chamber.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Wait! A ritual is yet to be done.

Rajput Folk Song about a New Bride

Walk this way, Empress,

with your pretty coloured feet.

The wind is blowing in the wrong

direction. Watch her every step!

Come, my Empress!

The women's palaces, the royal harem!

This is your royal chamber.

It has five sections -

The first is for meetings,

the Goshay Mulaakaat!

Meet Shaak and Shurukh.

They learn quickly...

...and repeat every word they hear.

This is your sleeping chamber,

the Khwabgah...

...your changing room,

the Toshak Khana...

...your gallery, the Jharokha

and your prayer room, the Tasbih Khana!

But... you won't need the Tasbih Khana.

I will, Ni'mat.

I will have my Krishna temple here.

So now we'll hear Hindu devotional

songs echoing in the Mughal fort. Right?

Ni'mat!

We did hear of your conditions.

You merit all praise, Empress!

Rest assured, these are the Mughals.

A magnificent temple will be built.

Not magnificent.

A small temple is what I desire.

Kindly pass on this message

to the Emperor.

Yes, Empress!

Attention! Silence!

Let everyone know!

Fold your hands!

Lower your eyes! Crown of the Mughals!

Lord of his subjects!

Heir of Timor! Jewel of Babur!

Son of Humayun!

Merciful Protector!

Renowned in the Universe!

The Emperor of Hindustan!

Jalaluddin Mohammad,

graces this court with his presence!

Long live

Emperor Jalaluddin Mohammad!

Finance Minister, Todarmalji...

Your Majesty, war raises

taxes and causes inflation...

...hitting the common man the hardest.

War destroys the economy!

You are so right, Todarmalji!

This needs special attention.

We'll discuss it in the Diwan-E-Khas!

(Private Audience Hall)

Let's proceed.

Your Majesty, we've got news

that your brother-in-law...

...Sharifuddin Hussain, has taken over
