Mughal-E-Azam Page #2
bring the prince back to the Court
Bahaar, you have come with a
message of joy to dry our tears
with plentiful pearls
lt is not enough. l want the prince to
walk on pearls, when he returns
And more than that, Bahaar.
l allow you everything for Salim
My son is returning after many years
let me have him
He has seen his father's
manner of rule...
but not the love of his mother
Tell the Court Dancer to prepare
an elegant dance...
to erase the fiery images of war
from Salim's eyes
And tell Tansen to compose such
melodies for Salim's welcome
that he will forget the bellow
of cannons
everlasting spring
for my son
Where his steps fall, let there be
an astral carpet
And wherever he glances,
let there be heaven
but cannot express
O Lord, let that auspicious moment
come soon
when my son shall be before
my eyes
for a while
Sculptor
The Spring (Bahaar) of the palace
in my deserted workshop?
l have come for a statue
for the Prince
The princes and emperors do not like
my statues
Why not?
- Because they speak the truth
This is the Royal Court, every word
of the Emperor is justice
And here is a battlefield
The blood of millions shed for
the triumph of one man
And this is for speaking the truth
Death
That is not true, it is
an artist's complaint
The mind accepts the beauty of
your art, the heart does not
What good is that statue if
a proud head does not bow before it?
Then l will make a statue at whose
feet a warrior will lay his sword...
a king his crown...
and a person his heart
One is crowned by another's hands
But with one's own courage
l hope no one comes.
Have you no fear?
Fear? The crown does not rest upon
fearful heads
this glorious country
Let them dream
Look into my eyes
Like the eyes of a drunkard who has
picked up a sword instead of a goblet
Do you plan to pluck stars
from the sky?
Sometimes the stars fall to earth
For a haughty Prince, my one
submissive glance is enough
break of day
Here is the last pearl of time-keeping
Let the price of this pearl be paid
Will the Emperor wear armour
to welcome his son?
We are not welcoming our son,
Your Majesty, l have not seen Salim
grow from child to man
Do not bring him to me at once
News of the prince!
The Prince has entered the Fort
Charity, to save the Prince
from the evil eye
