Mohenjo Daro Page #4

I am aware...

but it's no longer

in my control, Junu!

But when did all this happen?

Tell me something, Junu.

Till now I have been thought

of as everyone's protector!

But who has ever protected me?

When he controlled those animals...

he also took control of my heart!

My breaths grew deeper

and I just stood there staring.

I feel I've got wings, Junu...

I've started to fly!

Everything seems so different...

I do not know what to make of this!

No Chaani!

This can never be!

This love story has to stop!

- Or else the Sindhu will...

- Let the Sindhu flow away!

Junu, I must meet him!

Right now!

But where will I find him?

I don't even know

where to look for him!

If he is still in the Lower City...

he must be waiting

for the cattle herders of Dholavira.

We could find him

in the cattle bazaar tomorrow.

So... let's go to the cattle bazaar!

Chaani, you should not be here

looking like this.

I'm worried! If someone recognises you,

we'll be in big trouble.

Let us see!

No one recognises me...

or is even looking at me!

Do not be worried, Junu!

Now let's go find him.

It would be best

if he does not recognise you either!

Let's go.

Let's take this pair, Sarman.

That pair is too short tempered.

Hojo, she is smiling!

Smiling?

Is she smiling?

You have begun to take a liking

to every girl in this city.

Will you keep staring

or will you say something too?

Sarman, the goats are done

and that pair of bulls-

Chaani, happy to see him?

You're in the middle of the market,

not in private... anything can...

It's a clay bird... I made it.

You did not wear your headdress today,

but I instantly recognised you.

I wanted to see you.

You wanted to see me?

Without your headdress,

you look even more beautiful!

You know something?

Everything feels so different

without my headdress.

No one recognises me!

No one is bowing before me!

I do not have to bless anyone

or save anyone!

I can do whatever I like!

And do you know

why this is happening?

Why?

Because of you!

- Because of me?

- Yes.

If I had not met you,

I would not have found myself!

Will you come see the city with me?

Me?

Yes... let's go...

come on!

This rustling breeze

Rushing away in all the quarters

My heart flees alike

This breeze

Rustling... liberty it encounters!

O heart, take wings, rustle with glee,

town after town, in all quarters let me flee

My heart blooming with laughter

My body in it's tow bursting after

All my dreams with colours

amply mullered

Prisms, making everything

with love coloured

If the spring comes forth, so be it

If the after-night a love-Iorn

yawn yields, so be it

Let's hear what the breeze's

apt to impart

You're the seven-coloured

rainbow of my heart!

This rustling breeze

rushing away in all the quarters

My heart flees alike

This breeze

Rustling... liberty it encounters!

O heart, take wings, rustle with glee,

town after town, in all quarters let me flee

Methinks you're as yet unaware

That a world-wide measure,

full to the brim with water

No less love than that,

does my heart harbour

It's just you- reposed in my life,

through and through!

Your speech fills and thrills my heart

Your conversation gives

my dreams a start

When I see you,

sure does my heart beat faster

And I court a sweet disaster!

This rustling breeze

rushing away in all the quarters

My heart flees alike

This breeze

Rustling... liberty it encounters!

O heart, take wings, rustle with glee,

town after town, in all quarters let me flee

Kulka has seen you with him!

He's coming right this way!

Kulka... who is that?

He is Maham's most loyal servant!

Maham will know we were here together.

$0?

Come on Chaani!

There is no time to talk!

Kulka has seen him as well.

He is also in danger, Junu!

Come with me...

Come on.

Make this the official trade seal

in all of Sindhu Land!

Who is this rebel?

Who has the audacity

to disobey my command?

I could not find him yet,

Senate Chief...

but I have news about the Chosen One!

I just saw her with some man.

Scholar...

I want you to decide the day

for Chaani and Moonja's union.

Chaani cannot be wed until

after the Moon Bath, Senate Chief.

They are clean now!

Where were you?

I had gone to look for Chaani.

She is not in the Shrine!

You won't find her there today.

Tonight, there is a Moon Ritual

at the Great Bath.

Until the ritual is over,

Chaani cannot return to the Shrine.

Moon Ritual?

Yes... it's the lover's-alliance night.

Any boy and girl, who confess their love

under the full moon tonight...

then their Union is sealed.

Really?

Then I have to meet Chaani tonight!

You cannot go there, Sarman!

What if Moonja recognises you?

Lothar is right!

But I will still go!

Sarman, have you lost your mind?!

My mind, my sleep,

I have lost everything, Hojo!

I have to tell her tonight,

that she is my beloved!

What has lshme-Dagan

brought for us from Sumer?

(Ancient Sumer language)

Moonja, strike this stone dagger!

On this?

Amazing!

It is a sword made of Copper!

- Is the Gold ready, Maham?

- Only a few more suns, lshme-Dagan.

Once the digging in

the riverbed is complete...

then you will receive

the decided amount of Gold.

My ships are waiting at Dholavira

with your goods, Maham!

How many more suns must we wait?

I have been waiting for

this for 20 monsoons, lshme-Dagan!

Believe me,

my need for these weapons is...

far greater than

your need for the Gold!

I am afraid you will have to wait...

for this!

Right! I thank you.

There is a ritual in honor of

Mother Sindhu in the Great Bath.

You must not have seen

anything like this in Sumer.

Tonight on the occasion

of the full moon...

young men and women

will confess to their beloveds.

And then, the Chosen One, Chaani...

will immerse the figurine

of the Deity in the water.

By this ritual, the companions

and the future of the city...

will be blessed by Mother Sindhu.

O Mother Sindhu

Flow as you've ever flown

When we're forlorn

Woebegone

And to thee alone share

Do lend an ear... hear!

O listen

Listen to this call, ye too

Do listen!

In the hamlet of thy heart beats

the strange dum-dum of the drum

For thee live I, and thee for me,

yes together let us live

Sweetheart, my body, my mind, my riches

and life as well, for you alone do I nourish

My earth and my firmament

for thee I cherish

You are my whole wide world

My self and all my love

is for you alone furled

You are as though

the world's colour and glow

The spring

and my season's everything

You're the one,

you're the one!

Through the sky well high flows

this silken moonlight

And upon the earth your flame bright

Some desire inordinate

has dissolved in the eyes passionate

There's none like thee

You are

my whole wide world

My self and all my love

is for you alone furled

Walking along, some pathway

suddenly meets a turn blind

In a single moment one walks

on lea ving everything behind

My star is alit, my heart roaming
