Jodhaa Akbar Page #8

And you are the life of Hindustan!

We welcome you in our hearts

The kingdom of

Shimalgarh's salutation!

In every town

In every courtyard

Love abounds

In every heart

Our victory...

... lies in the Emperor

A wind of peace...

... blows across the land

We welcome you in our hearts

O great and magnificent Emperor

Ruler of Royal Decree

Empress of Hindustan,

Jodhaabai has arrived in Diwaan-E-Aam!

I am overwhelmed with

happiness to see you here.

I had to come.

After all, you have won my heart!

Your Majesty...

...today your people have

wholly accepted you in their hearts.

And hence, your subjects, most humbly...

...wish to bestow on you...

...the title of... 'Akbar'!

Jalaluddin Mohammad 'Akbar'!

The title pleases me very much.

I accept it with gratitude.

- Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar!

- Long live!

Akbar!

Every heart bears witness

to our Emperor's generosity

Wherever he treads,

he showers gold on his path

We welcome you in our hearts

Your religion is love

You rule many hearts

No praise can describe you

You are the confluence of all traditions

We welcome you in our hearts

O great and magnificent Emperor!

The Emperor has been struck by an arrow!

There he is!

Allow His Majesty to rest. We will

keep you informed of his progress.

'I am very pleased. No praise

will do justice to your work.'

'Delhi is within our reach now.

Saadir Adaasi'

The arrow's poison is spreading.

His temperature isn't coming down.

Who could have attempted

to kill Jalaluddin?

- Never mind! My concern is Rajputana.

- Meaning?

If Jalaluddin survives...

...the Mughal army will spare no one.

And if he dies...

...the Afghans and Uzbeks

won't let this opportunity slip by.

That's so true, Ranaji.

It will be wise to ignore

the needs of others...

...and safeguard our own provinces.

Sujamal...

...we would've helped you...

...but circumstances have changed.

And anyway,

your struggle is no more political...

...it has become a family feud.

You must work alone to regain

your share of Amer's throne!

We can only offer you

our best wishes, nothing more!

Jodhaa, his condition is worsening.

O Lord Krishna...

The Emperor has

regained consciousness!

May His Majesty live long!

May God give you a long life!

- Please rest.

- The Emperor is well again.

The Emperor is well again?

The Emperor is well again!

Jalal, countless thanks to Allah

for giving you a new life.

Mother...

Don't strain, son. You need rest.

Turn the nib and draw a thicker line...

Why did you call me here?

I will show you why.

Disperse!

Please be seated.

I have made something special for you.

I'm learning calligraphy.

These are the first words

I have learnt to write.

Allah be praised. It is beautiful!

This calligraphy... this writing...

...whatever is written, is beautiful.

Since its your writing,

why don't you read it aloud.

No, you must read it yourself.

There's something

you must know, Jodhaa.

The truth is...

...I cannot read or write!

The battlefield never allowed me

to learn, how to read or write.

So now will you read it?

You won't agree this way.

It's an order!

Read it!

A wife does not take

her husband's name.

Look into my eyes and say it.

Jalaluddin Mohammed Akbar.

I want to ask you something...

Please do...

Not here. Come with me.

What was it that you wanted to ask?

I am waiting for the right moment...

Do you love me?

Yes, I do.

And you?

I love you deeply!

In the folds of these moments

Is a relationship so pure

Like a prayer of

love the angels recite

The earth is silent

The sky is perplexed

There is light shining from earth to sky

Songs fill the stillness.

There is beauty in your every gesture

There is love floating in the air

What love is this?

What dream is this?

What flood of feeling is this?

The days have changed. And nights

too. The meaning of life has changed

In the folds of these moments...

What has time done to me?

Changed my very being

You have won me I found you

Melting like two gentle melodies

A rhythm, not slow, not fast

In the flame of fire

Our bodies and souls

burn in the flame of love

In my garden of dreams

Spring came only because of you

The flowers had my colours

But their fragrance has come from you

What desire and emotion is this?

Why is the heart so restless?

Why is the heart so impatient?

The days have changed. And nights

too. The meaning of life has changed

In the folds of these moments...

We missed our last chance.

That incompetent marksman!

- You mean?

- Yes! It was I, who sent the assassin.

Be gone! Our efforts have gone waste.

I'm glad my sister is not widowed.

Sujamal! What's with you? You don't

even know whose side you are on.

Greed has blinded you!

I want my rightful share of Amer!

You don't know which side to take!

The Emperor is your brother-in-law,

Sharifuddin Hussain.

Personal relations cannot

interfere with my goals.

You will soon discover

I am on your side...

...I want to see you

on Amer's throne...

...and you will see me

on Delhi's throne. Our pact is firm!

We have only one option now.

Attack Amer at once!

We won't get a better opportunity.

Are you with me?

Yes.

Sharifuddin Hussain!

Jalal knows you were behind

the assassination attempt.

He is furious.

Soldiers are coming for us!

Have no fear, Saadir Adaasi Sahib.

Before Agra, we must seize Amer!

Amer?

Will Sujamal help you once he is crowned?

Once Amer is in our hands,

we will finish Sujamal.

Sharifuddin has planned

an attack on Amer.

With Sujamal taking on his side.

End this conflict and

give Sujamal his rightful share.

Have no fear!

Yes.

Now about Sharifuddin...

...he must be stopped in Merta,

before he reaches Amer.

Banu?

Time is scarce.

My husband can kill Sujamal anytime.

Jodhaa, stop this battle!

Or else three families

will drown in their own blood.

We have to go!

The battlefield is dangerous.

Do not go!

Todarmalji, my mind is made up.

I must go. Do not worry.

Halt!

Your Majesty, dust is rising

on the northern horizon...

How far are they?

About three miles.

Two miles...

He has arrived too soon.

One mile!

Halt!

Your Majesty,

the archers await your command.

No!

I want peace, not war.

Chughtai Khan! Raise the peace flag!

Pardon me, Your Majesty...

...Sharifuddin will misunderstand.

He might assume we are weak.

That's precisely what I want.

He must get the wrong idea

and commit a mistake.

I understood. Raise the peace flag!

I knew Jalaluddin

would want to negotiate.

- Manjum Khan!

- Yes, Your Majesty.

Raise our flag in acceptance.

And set camp here!

Allah, protect us!

He deliberately did

not use elephants.

Because they would

have slowed down his pace.

Their army has much food.

They can survive a long time.

They can extend the battle

longer than us.

Many of our soldiers have been

misguided to join Sharifuddin's army.

We have to bring them back!

A great battle is won

without shedding a single drop of blood.

- Is everything ready?
