Murderer?

Is anyone left?

- Yes, there is.

Who is it?

It's me.

Why do you bother, Madame.

You've gotten your feet all muddy!

There is no need, Madame.

Not Madame, Susanna.

You are just.. I mean.. how will I..

Really.. I mean.. I mean..

Joking!

Not right. Who am I to say!

Just as you wish.. the next time.

But it's fine.. not a bad thing.

I'll try next time.

But how will I?

It is believed that Jesus

spent his last days in Kashmir.

''Saheb'' left for Kashmir

in search of the Lord..

Instead of Jesus,

she met ''Mohammed''.

Hail Allah!

Hail Allah!

Mohammed Wasiullah Khan.

A.K. A The Traveller.

From the soot of

spiraling everyday smoke..

.. a patch of sky,

now remains blackened..

.. all day long.

Great!

- Wonderful!

Do not bow your head beneath it..

.. for now when you prostrate,

God yanks His feet away.

In the mounds of rotting rubbish..

.. heads of bodies

gone cold still smoulder.

Wonderful! Wonderful!

Hungry four legged animals, fight

over the bones of arms and legs.

The flesh and the bone

belongs to the one..

.. who first digs its

teeth into the flesh.

May I proceed?

- Yes, please.

The flesh and the bone

belongs to the one..

.. who first digs its

teeth into the flesh.

The men of faith now ask, who

first dug his spade into this earth!

Wow!

- Wonderful! - Wonderful!

The men of faith now ask, who

first dug his spade into this earth!

Some say there was

a mosque here once.

Some say no, once a

temple stood here.

Wow! Wow!

- Wonderful!

But when you touch your

forehead to the ground..

God yanks His feet away now.

He cannot bring Himself to believe..

He cannot bring Himself to believe..

.. that He once called

this place, His home.

Wow!

- Wow!

This time, ''Saheb'' not

only had a new lover..

.. but also a new name and religion.

Susanna Anna Marie

Johannes was now..

Sultana Wasiullah Khan.

Thank you.

Wow!

- Wow! - Great!

- One more, please!

Don't go!

One more verse!

My next verse..

- Yes, please.

A day shall dawn..

.. bringing with it a calm..

.. the heart bereft of desires,

the mind devoid of passion..

''Shoreless, totally fathomless''

''Close your eyes, please''

''I have been drowning''

''I need to breathe''

''Shoreless, totally fathomless,

Close your eyes, please''

''I have been drowning,

I need to breathe''

''Lillah!''

''Turn your face away from me''

''It'll be a great kindness''

''Turn your face away from me''

''It'll be a great kindness''

''Ever since I have seen you''

''My breath's stuck''

''Ever since I have seen you''

''My breath's stuck''

''Shoreless, totally fathomless''

''Close your eyes, please''

''I have been drowning''

''I need to breathe''
