They say Noorie drowned in the river.
Some say she committed suicide.
What do you think, Holy One?
Allah knows the one who has transgressed the laws of nature.
Who?
Allah knows.
What is to happen now?
Nature takes her revenge.
People may forget.
It may all be forgotten.
But Nature works on…
quietly, in some form or the other.
And when time has run its course.
Nature in all her fury, takes her prey.
Noorie was so beautiful.
Innocent, not beguiled, quiet.
People loved to watch her.
To touch her, to talk to her
She was a gift of nature,
a gift of the river…
…that flows past her village.
As bright as the snow,
as pure.
Noorie was the soul of our valleys,
she gave fragrance to the pines.
The sinners that they are, they only lusted.
They do not see the fires that simmer within.
This too is nature at play.
Come inside, Yusuf.
Come, sit by the fires for a while.
It's very chilly out here. You might catch a cold.
One would have to feel the chill
but my feelings are stilled forever.
And my soul…
what of the chill?
What are you doing here?
You were talking about Noorie.
I thought, I'd listen to you.
How did you know we're discussing Noorie?
The winds you've never spoken to, nor heard.
The winds that blow in Spring…
this wind is so pure.
It hides nothing.
Now he's going to stand in front of Noorie's house, he'll wait and wait.
Come to me.
My love.
Come to me.
Come into my heart.
Let me slake my thirsting heart.
Come to me.
Come into my heart.
Let me slake my thirsting heart.
Come to me.
Come into my heart.
Let me slake my thirsting heart.
Come to me.
Oh, Noorie…
This bright, mellow morning.
The light touches my soul.
This bright, mellow morning.
The light touches my soul.
It asks me softly.
Do you know?
Who is in your heart?
Come to me.
Come into my heart,
and tell me.
Come to me.
Come into my heart.
Let me slake my thirsting heart.
Come to me.
Oh, Noorie…
The pain is so sweet.
Desire is aroused.
The pain is so sweet.
Desire is aroused.
I am thirsty for love. I'm possessed.
I can't think any more.
Come to me.
Come into my heart.
Arouse my passions.
Come to me.
Come into my heart.
Let me slake my thirsting heart.
Come to me.
Oh, Noorie…
The beautiful evening…
…carries your fragrance.
The beautiful evening…
…carries your fragrance.
When I see flowers blossoming…
…I think of you.
Come to me.
Come into my heart.
Fill me with fire.
Come to me.
Come into my heart.
Let me slake my thirsting heart.
Come to me.
Oh, Noorie…
Noorie.
I told you to come and meet my father like a gentleman.
I'm talking about seeing you. And you want me to see your father!
To see me, you must see my father first. Understand?
But the two of them are like your bodyguards…
…your father and your pet Khairoo.
If I make good money today, I'll buy lots of meat for you.
You should've been a rich man's pet.
Not a poor man's pet.
Hey, Lala! So you aren't dead yet!
Why, what's your interest?
My turn will come only after each…
…and everyone else in this village is dead.
Till then, I'll guard my wealth like a serpent!
Your eyes would pop out, if a walnut dropped on your head.
Why did God give me a usurer as a childhood friend?
And yet, I'm the one who stands to lose.
God willing, if you die, I'll still have to pay for your funeral.
-Is that wood for sale? -No.
-It's meant for your funeral pyre. -How much for?
-Three Rupees. -Three rupees. for that wood?
I'll pay one rupee.
Lala, will you take your money with you after you die?
Stop blabbering. I'll give two rupees just because you're a friend.
-Take it, or I leave. -All right, I'll take it.
-Madcap, I brought it for you. -Then I won't pay even two rupees.
Put it down here.
Two Rupees. Keep it. You've earned it.
Lala, let all your sins be washed away due to the…
-…good deeds of your daughter-in-law -About your dog!
Have you also been teaching him to snatch what he can from me?
Don't you blame a mutt!
-May Allah forgive you. -And may Allah strike you down.
-Come on, Khairoo. -Wait, Uncle
-I'll give you some sugar. -You're asking for curses.
Keep it. Noorie will need it for tea.
My enemy! Right in my backyard!
-I've been teaching her nothing! -That's expected from you.
It's for free! Enjoy it!
The sugar is gone. Even the bowl! Go on, give everything away!
-Finish eating and get to work! -Yes, I'm going.
So you're here.
You're very lucky…
…to have entered Bashir Khan's dreams!
The girl Bashir sets his eyes on…
…becomes the gem of his boudoir!
What are you searching there?
Come here.
-Where are you? -Right in front of your eyes.
Strange! You vanish right in front of my eyes!
That's why I tell you, love isn't for cowards.
If you come home, my father won't hang you for it.
I guess I will have to screw up my courage and face your father.
But when?
Now that I can't put it off any longer…
I'll do it right tomorrow. I'll dress for the occasion.
Pass the first test
Now is the moment.
Allah, please help me!
Greetings to you, Uncle.
Greetings to you.
Uncle I…
I'm Fakir Mohammad's son.
Which Fakir Mohammad?
Carpenter.
We used to live by the river.
You had him make your bed …Fakir Mohammad.
-But he's dead, isn't he? -But I'm alive.
That I can see.
Sit.
I work in Bashir Khan's factory.
That scoundrel?
I only work for him.
What brings you here?
What's wrong with you?
Why don't you speak?
I'll come back later.
Strange fellow.
Do you know who that fellow is?
He told you his name. Yusuf.
Oh yes. Why was he here?
-To meet you, perhaps. -But why?
How would I know?
Where does he live?
By the river.
He told you so. He's Fakir Mohammad's son.
Where does he work?
Dad! Didn't you hear?
He works in Bashir Khan's factory.
But…
Why did he come here?
Do you know him?
Well he is…
What did he say his name was?
Yusuf, son of Fakir Mohammad.
He lives by the river, and he works for a living
Nice fellow. I approve.
I'm an old foggy!
-What happened? Why are you moping? -Should I be dancing?
Thanks for calling me over and making me look like a fool.
-What is the matter? -What indeed!
First that dear brother of yours Khairoo… he frisks me
As if I was packing a gun! After he's done with me…
…it's your Abba, quizzing me like a schoolmaster!
You were aghast.
He asked you why you had come. And not a word from you!
-Would you rather that I sang? -Why not? I love songs.
-I don't know about Khairoo. -Are you here to finish the joke?
I saw you moping.
So I thought I'd ask
I'm fine, and I wish you well!
Nice to know.
What more?
The wound is still raw. Don't rub it in!
And maybe, you could tell me about yourself.
I will be happy.
I have received your letter.
And I know what you're going through.
I pray to Allah that you be happy, and may you find peace.
Thank you for your offer of peace and happiness.
In reply, let me tell you that sentiment is no good.
I do not seek your sympathies.
I need your love.
In this matter, I have to tell you that dad said.
Nice boy. I approve.
What?
I'm not far away.
I'm with you.
Forever, I'm yours.
I'm not far away.
I'm with you.
Forever, I'm yours.
I have only to look at you.
You bring me good luck.
Come to me.
Come into my heart.
Arouse my passions.
Come to me.
Come into my heart.
Let me slake my thirsting heart.
Come to me.
Oh, Noorie…
Khan, you've lost Noorie.
In a few days, she's going to marry Yusuf.
This is giving you a bad name.
She's so pretty!
One look at her, and a man will even forget his parents!
-Why don't you abduct her? -Once you're done with her…
…she's going to be yours all your life.
Even a year or two in prison…
-…won't be such a big price to pay. -I'd be willing to serve 7 years!
But for Faulad Khan's sake, we won't even look at her.
That bastard hasn't married her yet.
Not yet. But he will marry her.
He won't. If not Faulad Khan,
let the dogs have her.
-Who is she? -Gulam Nabi's daughter.
Gulam Nabi, tell me how are you?
It's all the grace of Allah.
How long will you pull on with only Allah's grace?
How about giving Bashir Khan a chance?
It is by His grace that I live.
I am as He will have me.
I am also Allah's servant.
Will your God be angered if I were to help you?
I am not helpless enough to seek a man's mercy.
Gulam Nabi, why get irked?
I'm talking about your own good.
Your daughter is young.
I hear she is very beautiful.
Do not forget me. I may be of help.
That pauper talked back at me!
And why not?
That bastard has such a pretty daughter!
I'm not Bashir Khan unless I abduct her!
Make no mistake!
Eat something which is piping hot, and you'll scald your tongue.
He's Lala's friend too. This might prove costly.
Caught you!
I've been expecting you for some time!
Big fish always eats small fish
Big fish! You call me a big fish?
I could chew you alive!
All right. You have an upper hand.
And when will you have the upper hand? After you're dead?
For the poor, it's always after one has died.
But every act will be accounted for.
Talk sense.
You're hard-pressed to even find food.
What do you expect in that other world? Sweets to eat?
Each one has his own conscience, Lala.
Don't drag conscience into deals!
You need money?
How much?
One thousand.
Have you ever seen a thousand together?
To tell you the truth, never.
Your land is already mortgaged with me.
Do you have any gold?
-No. -Any house?
Yes, I have my house
That house is just a pile of dirt!
It'd fetch a hundred at most!
How will you pay the rest 900?
Lend it to me on interest
-I'll sign on anything. -And what do I do with paper? Eat it?
Tell me, why do you need the money?
-Are you marrying again? -Goodness!
I'd never commit a sin at this age!
Noorie is grown up.
And Noorie is all I have.
Lala, I'm getting her married.
You know this village is full of devils.
I want to get over with this as soon as I can.
And you want a thousand for it? 1,000 won't be enough. Take 2,000.
You have to pay for clothes, jewelry and the lunch.
How will you make do with a thousand?
But I still have to pay you back.
I'll have to work all my life, to pay it back.
How much longer do you have to live?
For you, it's today or tomorrow.
We'll settle our accounts in the next world.
Now get lost and prepare for Noorie's wedding. Get going.
Listen.
Noorie is as much my child as she is yours.
Let's marry her off in style.
If not yours, you have to take care of my dignity.
Do you know how pretty you are?
Can you tell me?
Do you know how nice you are?
Can you tell me?
You've made life difficult for every man in the village.
-Do you like me? -Very much.
For me, that's enough.
How long do you need to craft the jewelry?
A fortnight or so.
Oh!
Don't you have something ready?
How can I go home empty-handed?
All these things belong to others.
-Yes, I have these anklets. -Let me see.
-Pretty. I'll take them. -All right.
If it's not an exact fit, I'll have it altered later.
Consider my shop as yours.
Alright.
-Bye. -Bye.
Khairoo, you're coming with me to see sister-in-law. Right?
Sister-in-law is so nice.
If you don't come with me, I won't talk to you.
Come on, I'm scared.
The ironsmith's son, Faulad Khan, harasses me on the way.
-Noorie's here. -Oh!
Today, Allah would have granted me any wish I asked for!
Oh my God!
Khairoo!
Hey, get away!
Go away!
Help! Save me!
Greetings.
-You wanted to see me? -Welcome, Gulam Nabi. Have a seat.
Sit.
The other day, you got irritated for no reason.
I didn't mean anything wrong.
After all, I also live in this village.
This is where I'll spend the rest of my life.
I have plenty of property and wealth.
I'm thinking about getting married.
What has that to do with me?
You don't understand?
I want to marry Noorie.
I maybe poor. But I am an honorable man.
The whole world knows what you're about.
If you ever mention Noorie again, I'll kill you!
Who is it?
Come in.
The door is open.
What have you been up to?
Hiding your riches?
Not riches. But I do have a diamond I'm trying to hide.
-What do you take me for? Some thief? -Thief? You're a bandit!
No knowing when you might elope!
Actually, I've been trying to steal something.
But I need your help.
Meaning?
I'm getting married.
And I have no relative.
I brought a ring with me.
Will you give it to Noorie?
It's beautiful
Don't you worry? I'll give it to her.
Look! That's Lala's daughter-in-law.
Uncle! That Lala's daughter-in-law is coming to your house.
Coming to my house?
Give us a ladder. We're coming in.
-Greetings, Uncle Nabi. -Lord be with you.
-Greetings. Uncle. -Bless you.
Yusuf is from our village.
To us, he's like a son, a brother.
And I'm a relative to both sides. Noorie calls me her sister-in-law.
I have always been grateful to your family.
I may be the moneylender's daughter-in-law.
But I haven't come here to collect.
I'm here to ask for Noorie's hand, to be my daughter-in-law.
You come to a pauper with gifts.
What can I give you in return?
What can be a better gift than a beautiful daughter?
May I see the bride?
Yusuf is a lucky man.
I swear.
Your friends are happy.
It's your love…
…that has drawn your lady towards you.
Everyone held their breath.
And some hearts have burnt.
Everywhere she went.
And your lover walked into your embrace.
Now that means.
Let lovers be.
Let lovers be like them.
Let lovers be.
Let lovers be like them.
A loving heart has found another.
Love has been requited.
Eyes have met.
And the heartbeats match.
Today, love has been given a place of pride.
He has found a beautiful bride.
She is bound to give in.
She is bound to give him everything she has.
In love, even one rose makes a garden.
One rose will suffice.
Let lovers be…
May they have a heart…
No. Let lovers be like this.
May lovers…
Let lovers be…
May lovers be like them!
May lovers…
May they have a heart like she has!
The one who sighs is no lover.
He who romances from a distance is not the beloved either.
He who suffers in silence is no lover.
He who fears the world is no beloved.
To take on the world is a matter of pride for men.
To fall in love is for the young and able men.
We are in love. May there be no disgrace!
May we not lose our love!
May lovers…
May women…
May lovers be like us!
May women be like us!
Like the legendary lovers…
may they be like them!
Like the legendary women in love…
may they be like them!
May women be like us!
It's you we love. We are true lovers.
Put us to test, we are love itself
We are forever ready to lay down our lives.
We are no outsiders, we share your problems.
Women awaken the magic.
And make men in love To forget their friends.
Love is intoxicating.
May men fall in love…
And also remember their friends.
Lovers be…
Women be…
May lovers be like him!
May women have a heart like hers!
Lovers be…
Women be…
May lovers be like him!
May women have a heart like hers!
Fabulous! What a ploy!
I could kiss your feet!
Fabulous!
So are you getting married? When?
Not unless you can come
-That's true. Say what, Faulad? -Without you, it shouldn't happen!
Say, how about celebrating?
Whenever you say!
Make it fast, lest it becomes stale.
-Accountant… -Yes, boss?
Yusuf is getting married.
His expenses are bound to increase
Give him a raise. A hundred.
Very well
Go on, Yusuf.
-Well, Faulad? -You're great!
-Eat a sweet! -Why?
After the engagement, my luck is changing!
-Bashir Khan has given me a raise! -I told you!
Noorie is going to bring you lot of happiness!
I'm going to set their lives on fire!
Before the wedding she is going to
be devastated, scarred, tainted!
What's on your mind?
That bastard Gulam Nabi dies.
And not a soul will know!
Mister Khairoo, get up. Would you like some tea?
Time to get to work. Get up. You've had enough of sleep.
Even dad is ready.
Here's your tea.
But not to hurry. The tea is still warm.
Enough now. You're getting greedier day by day. Off you go to work.
Bye dad.
Khairoo, stay with dad. I hear that you're always straying.
-Who is it? -It's me, Yusuf.
Abba isn't at home.
Is it something important?
I'm here to see you.
Meeting before the wedding is taboo.
All right, I'm leaving.
Come inside. If anyone sees you, I'll get a bad name.
Where are you?
What is it?
Can't I see you?
No.
I just want to take a look at you.
-Why just a look? -Last night, in a dream…
I saw you vanishing in a thick cloud of winter fog…
I was screaming for you…
…and you were laughing and then you vanished.
-Lies! -What do you mean?
You just made up a story to come and see me.
I'm telling you the truth!
I won't accept it.
How am I to convince you?
Try to find some other excuse.
Tell me, are you all right?
Perfectly!
-You're alive, aren't you? -And talking to you!
I'm no ghost! If you don't believe me, see for yourself.
That's your hand, isn't it?
Ghosts don't have arms.
Even if they have, you can't see them.
-Now I know! That was your hand! -You hypocrite!
And I also know that you're perfectly all right!
Liar!
Goodbye!
When is the next lame excuse coming?
This was no lame excuse!
Nabi!
Go and call Noorie.
Where's dad?
Tell me, where's dad?
How come you're here alone?
Take me along. Hurry.
Send the consignment. His men came asking for it thrice.
Yusuf, something has happened to dad! Khairoo came home alone!
Please come with me!
Tell the boss, I'll be back
I'm responsible for Gulam Nabi's death.
I didn't know, I have a black tongue.
What I said turns out to be true!
-Accountant… -Yes?
Give me the papers to Gulam Nabi's lands.
He wished to be buried on his land.
But the land is mortgaged with me.
My friend, I give back your land to you.
Khairoo,
come out.
Come out, Khairoo.
Khairoo, come out!
Khairoo, come here.
Khairoo, come out!
Will you leave me alone, Khairoo?
You want to be buried with dad?
Dad has left me.
Will you leave me too?
Dad didn't care for me.
He left me.
Will you leave me too?
Human beings do not know what relationships are.
Will you betray me too?
For a while, I want to go away on a pilgrimage.
I feel devastated.
Forty years of friendship.
Forty years together…
…in happiness, in sorrow, during the weddings and the mourning.
Now Gulam Nabi is gone! A lifetime of friendship gone!
Love, how about something exciting?
Spare me a breath, will you?
The evening has just begun!
Are you panting already?
What about the rest of the night?
Khan, you seem to be enjoying my inconveniences.
As for me, I do my bit of hard work
Hard enough to work up a few kudos for me?
For which I pay a price.
A fair price!
Who can pay a woman for her sorrows?
What of me? I dance to your tune!
I pine for you! I'd die for you!
And at heart, you wish to ruin me!
Would you prefer if I refused you?
Even if I were to escape from you,
I'd be someone else's prey.
So I've decided, I'd rather die for your sake!
If you do not know how to appreciate
My beauty will go wasted
If you do not know how to appreciate
My beauty will go wasted
Wasted! My beauty will go wasted
If you do not know how to appreciate
My beauty will go wasted
If you do not know how to appreciate
My beauty will go wasted
A thirst lurks under the shadows Of my dark tresses
How long will I hide the fire That burns in my heart?
I waste wonderful nights lying awake
If you do not know how to appreciate
My beauty will go wasted
If you do not know how to appreciate
My beauty will go wasted
I have loved you
Like glass on stone, I am shattered
Oh, I was so naive
If you do not know how to appreciate
My beauty will go wasted
If you do not know how to appreciate
My beauty will go wasted
I have broken my dancing anklets
With hennaed hands folded I begged for forgiveness
But you will not listen
If you do not know how to appreciate
My beauty will go wasted
If you do not know how to appreciate
My beauty will go wasted
Wasted! My beauty will go wasted
If you do not know how to appreciate
My beauty will go wasted
If you do not know how to appreciate
My beauty will go wasted
Didn't Gulam Nabi order some jewelry from you?
Yes, it's been lying ready for days. I was about to deliver it to him.
My condolences.
That fool was a very honest man.
Everyone in the village knows about your friendship.
I so deeply regret his death.
A dear old friend passes away…
…and all one can do is mourn him.
Anyway, how much does he owe you?
-Let's forget it. -No, the transaction must be completed
The bill is for 900.
He gave me 500.
Here you are. Pack the ornaments.
Gulam Nabi,
what you did wasn't right.
You turned out to be a coward!
You took to death, and now you rest peacefully in your grave.
You cheat!
If you wanted to go away like this,
why did you make friends with me?
Did you find no one else in the village to make as a friend?
You fool! You should've married your daughter off before dying!
-Who? -It's me, Lala.
Come dear, sit beside me.
You know, I always regarded Gulam Nabi as my own brother.
Now my brother has left me forever.
The poor fellow couldn't even have his last wish.
No, my dear!
Till I am alive, I won't let you miss your father!
I'll make all his dreams come true. Don't you worry.
Look, your Dad has left all this jewelry for your wedding.
If you ever need anything at all, don't hesitate to come to me.
You don't need to feel shy at all.
Now be brave, my child.
I cannot bear to see you cry. Quiet, my dear, quiet!
You have given me such lovely jewellery, Dad!
You loved me so much!
You have given me so much!
You were so happy about my wedding!
Then, why did you go away?
You should've seen how I look in these.
Why did you leave, Dad?
Why did you leave me, Dad?
Yes Yusuf, what is the matter?
How can Noorie live all alone?
She has no one.
Yes, she's all alone, poor thing.
She used to come here earlier.
Now she doesn't even come here.
At this rate, she's going to die!
I swear by Allah, I'm not in a hurry about getting married.
I can understand your concern, Yusuf.
She listens to you.
I will visit her.
I'll look after her.
Who?
Your sister-in-law.
My Dad!
I'm all alone, sister-in-law!
I have no one!
Quiet, you foolish girl.
You have me.
Dad isn't coming back, is he?
Look at the state he's in.
Poor thing, he's orphaned.
He used to start barking at mealtimes.
Now he keeps lying like he's dead.
The dead do not return.
But the living can die.
And then, how would life go on?
I don't want it to go on.
One has to live on, even if one hates to live.
It is in no one's hands.
And time buries all the wounds.
Have courage!
I cannot bear to see you like this.
Even Yusuf is so worried about you.
It's very difficult for a woman to live alone.
I have promised Yusuf
that I will cheer you up.
Do what you want, Sister-in-law.
I have no one now.
Whatever way you want me to live…
I will.
Noorie, we aren't your enemies.
Everyone loves you…
cares for you.
I'll tell Yusuf.
Yusuf has to be taken care of.
Now that Gulam Nabi has gone to Allah,…
…Yusuf stands between me and Noorie.
-He must be removed. -But how?
Beat him black and blue.
Not that easy.
-If the villagers get to know… -Not one here gets to hear this!
In the forest, when he is on his way back from work… then!
We'll kill him, and we'll bury him!
Can't you watch your step?
Why do you have to cross my path?
Does your father own this place?
No! You are the one whose father owns this place!
But he's dead.
Did he write a will in your name before he died?
-What's your problem? -You want to live in this village?
-Yes, I wish to live a while longer. -Then forget Noorie.
Are you listening?
Even if you marry her…
…you won't be able to match up to her.
Make a promise.
You will never speak Noorie's name with your filthy tongue!
Whenever you mention Noorie… you will be respectful.
Don't you dare to even think about Noorie!
I mentioned about you, and he used foul language…
…about your mother and your sister!
It's going to be a shame if you can't get your hands on that girl.
Now her father is no more.
I've ended up with broken ribs, for your sake. For nothing!
Will you fight with everyone for my sake?
Yes, with everyone who thinks ill of you.
If need be, I'll fight with the whole village, and even God!
You love me so much that…
I won't be able to live, and I won't be able to die either.
I'll love you till you find that life itself lies at your feet.
And death will be unbecoming of you.
And what of your own life?
What have you chosen for yourself?
Only one name which is Noorie.
Welcome.
There's some important work. That's why I called you.
Tell me.
There's a problem.
-I'm telling you because I trust you. -Sure.
You know Tekchand?
He turns out to be a fraud.
I've written him so many letters. But he refuses to pay up.
Can you go to the cantonment for a few days?
I know, you're too busy with your wedding.
But it's urgent. Without the money, how will I pay the lumberjacks?
-Do me this favor. -If you insist…
If you have to stay back for a couple of days, do stay over.
Make sure you bring the money.
Keep this.
Five hundred. A gift for your wedding
You're getting married. Buy something for your wife.
Thanks!
I'll be back in a couple of days
I don't have the heart to leave you alone.
Then don't go.
I have to obey the boss in my job.
Without you,
this village will be as empty as a desert.
You're making this difficult for me.
I'll be away for only a couple of days.
Very well, go.
I'll make do with my dreams about you.
Would you like anything from the cantonment?
Get me whatever you like.
Now which was that hand I kissed?
Oh yes!
Look, it's blushing like a rose!
You're so fragile.
And in time, another rose will bud.
Last bus to the Cantonment.
Hurry up.
Move it.
I've brought you,
your bride's trousseau.
Is it nice?
I'm your sister.
And I'm also your friend.
You know, when I was given mine…
…I locked myself in,
and I caressed my dress.
It was as if, I could touch my childhood dreams.
May God keep you happy.
Make a home, raise a family.
See you.
Make sure you lock the house properly, once I'm gone.
Someone comes in stealing.
Stealthily…
…so that no one sees him.
And he gives me so many dreams.
Someone comes in stealing.
Stealthily…
…so that no one sees him.
And he gives me so many dreams.
Someone comes in stealing.
He looks into my eyes.
But what does he seek?
He looks into my eyes.
But what does he seek?
What am I to tell him?
I feel like laughing… I don't know what to say.
He gazes right into my heart.
I can scarcely breathe.
Someone comes in stealing.
Stealthily…
…so that no one sees him.
And he gives me so many dreams.
Someone comes in stealing.
Sweet nothings!
Hold me spellbound!
Sweet nothings!
Hold me spellbound!
I am lost.
He makes me do whatever he wants.
When he kisses me my heart flutters.
In ecstasy, my eyes are shut.
Someone comes in stealing.
Stealthily…
…so that no one sees him.
And he gives me so many dreams.
Someone comes in stealing.
When I think of it…
He has bitten me with such a venom.
When I think of it…
He has bitten me with such a venom.
I hope his embrace doesn't kill me.
My heart pounds.
I am intoxicated.
Someone comes in stealing.
It's so cold!
And it's raining incessantly.
Bring Noorie here tomorrow. Tomorrow morning!
A girl mustn't live all alone.
Keep her with you till she gets married.
Leave me!
Khan!
Noorie is dead!
Someone killed her and threw her into the river!
What are you saying?
Some people are even saying that she committed suicide.
What nonsense!
Everyone in the village is there beside the river.
Her dog is staring at the river and baying.
No.
How…
how could this happen?
Noorie…
This can't happen.
First the father, then the daughter!
Strange are the ways of God.
Praise the Lord!
I am leaving now.
God bless you.
Dear, take care of Noorie's house.
And please look after Khairoo.
Come on, let's go.
-Greetings. -Greetings, Yusuf.
Greetings, Lala! Where are you off to?
Where have you been?
I went to the cantonment for Bashir's errand.
I saw a few things I liked, so I bought them.
What do you think of these?
What happened?
Son, how do I tell you this?
Please tell me what's going on.
Son…
something has gone terribly wrong.
You need to be brave.
Be strong.
I don't understand.
Son…
Noorie is no more.
-No more? -She drowned herself in the river.
How could this happen?
How come she killed herself?
Her life wasn't hers alone.
How could she just die?
How could she kill herself?
Allah!
His ways are strange.
Only He knows.
Allah knows.
Only He knows.
Allah knows.
His ways are strange.
Only He knows.
Allah knows.
Only He knows.
Allah knows.
Humans only laugh and cry.
Where we come from, where we go…
Why do those who leave never return?
Only He knows.
Allah knows.
Only He knows.
Allah knows.
You are The Merciful, The Benefactor!
You are The Preserver! The Creator!
You are The Merciful, The Benefactor!
You are The Preserver! The Creator!
Commend yourself to Him!
For only He knows all!
Allah knows!
For only He knows all!
Allah knows!
He gives pain, He brings pleasure!
If He takes away, then He also gives!
Many are the facets!
Only He knows!
Allah knows!
Only He knows!
Allah knows!
First, He gives the sinner a long rope.
Then He avenges for the ones who were victimized.
First, He gives the sinner a long rope.
Then He avenges for the ones who were victimized.
Before Him…
Bow your heads!
For only He knows!
Allah knows!
Do you know how pretty you are?
Can you tell me?
Do you know how nice you are?
Can you tell me?
You've made life difficult for every man in the village.
-Do you like me? -Very much.
For me, that's enough.
Will I ever be able to live without you?
I don't believe that I can…
Why are you screaming in the middle of the night?
-What has come over you? -What do you mean?
-What nonsense is this? -You just shot your own dog.
Noorie's dog was outside, baying. Your Tiger was chasing it.
And you shot it.
-Do you know where Faulad lives? -Yes.
Ask him to come and see me tomorrow morning.
-Are you all right? -What's wrong with me?
-Looks like… -Looks like what?
Your face is dry, pallid. Tell me, should I call a doctor?
No need for a doctor!
Go away. Tell Faulad to see me in the morning.
Very well.
Faulad… welcome!
Sit.
Faulad,
there's a job.
I'd lay down my life for it!
For a few days,
I've been a bit superstitious.
Superstitious?
That dog…
Noorie's!
How do you know?
The whole village is talking about it. It has gone mad.
It's roaming the lanes and the alleys, as if it is searching for someone.
Searching?
-For whom? -God only knows!
Some say, dogs can see spirits and they even see the Angel of Death…
…when it arrives to take someone. That's why they bay.
-Angel of Death? -People say that…
…a dog baying at night means that someone is about to die.
Is that so?
But… what is the matter?
Last night, that dog was standing outside my house and baying.
-God forbid… -I'm not afraid or anything.
But last night it ruined my sleep.
Why did it come to your house?
God only knows!
Why don't you just kill the dog?
Can it be killed?
Why not? It's only a dog!
Just buy some meat from the butcher and poison it. He's going to eat it.
And that's about the end of it.
Will it be done today?
Why today? Right now! I'm off to buy meat.
When they find him, he'll be a carcass.
I'll have the carcass thrown in the water.
For all the tall talk, you can't do even that little job!
Had it been a tiger or a cheetah, I could understand.
It's just a mad, half-dead dog! And you can't even kill it!
What could I do? He sniffed at it, and he slunk away.
-The devil has gotten him! -What?!
Yes! I've heard about it.
The Satan possesses animals, and hunts his prey.
Prey…
what prey?
How would I know?
A dog refuses meat! Now, has that ever happened?
And that too, a dog who has been hungry for days.
What nonsense are you talking?!
This is just a story you've dreamt up!
If he won't eat, stone him to death!
Chase him out of the village!
Pay the lads in the village. Get them to kill it!
It's a mad dog! It might bite someone!
Keep it. Spend what you want.
I don't want any more excuses.
Stop it! What are you fellows doing? Aren't you ashamed?
You're stoning an innocent mutt!
Have you no sympathy, no mercy?
Are you not even afraid of God's punishment?
Is he not God's creation?
Is it humane to kill this dog?
Go, drown yourselves!
Go, drown yourselves in shame!
The dead never return, Khairoo.
I am human, But I have forgotten her.
But you, a beast… you're still mourning her.
Is there something you know?
Is there a secret that's killing you?
You've stayed hungry, thirsty.
You're stoned, and yet you do not utter a sound.
Forget now, Khairoo.
I'm not far away.
I'm with you.
Forever, I'm yours.
I'm not far away.
I'm with you.
Forever, I'm yours.
I just have to look at you.
You bring me good luck.
Come to me.
Come into my heart Arouse my passions.
Come to me.
Come into my heart.
Let me slake my thirsting heart.
Come to me.
Oh, Noorie…
Noorie! She has been found!
Noorie has been found!
What nonsense! Have you gone mad?
Really! Noorie has been found!
It's been ages since she died! Even her corpse wasn't found!
They've found it! By the river. The whole village is headed there.
And she doesn't look like she's dead!
It's as if Noorie is alive, smiling!
Like an immaculate soul. The entire village is worked up.
They're dying to solve the murder!
As soon as they get to know…
…they're going to tear the murderer to pieces!
I'd rather get lost.
Else, I might end up with a broken head for nothing!
I've had nothing to do with this! Goodbye, Khan.
It's been so many days since I saw you.
I searched everywhere,
I've been looking for you.
Where have you been? You left me all alone.
You left me all alone and you went away.
It's all over now.
Even if I had lived,
what kind of life would it have been?
How could I live…
without love?
How could I live…
without Noorie?
Why do those who leave never return?
Only He knows!
Allah knows!
Only He knows!
Allah knows! !
