Original subtitles

They say Noorie drowned in the river.

Some say she committed suicide.

What do you think, O Holy One?

Only Allah knows who has transgressed the laws of nature.

Who?

Allah knows.

What will happen now?

Nature will take her revenge.

People might forget.

It might just be forgotten.

But Nature works on,

quietly, in one form or another

And when time has run its course,

nature, in her fury, will take her prey.

Noorie was so beautiful.

Innocent, unbeguiled, 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.

Those sinners, they only lusted.

They did not see the fire within.

This, too, is nature at play.

Yusuf?

Come in, Yusuf.

Come sit by the fire.

It's chilly out. You might catch a cold.

If only I could feel the cold.

My feelings are forever stilled.

What do I care about the cold?

What are you doing here?

You were talking about Noorie.

I thought I'd listen.

How did you know we were talking about Noorie?

The wind you've never spoken to, nor heard.

The wind that blows in spring,

that wind is so pure, it hides nothing.

Now he's going to stand in front of Noorie's house.

He'll just wait and wait.

Come to me

My love

Come into my heart

Let me quench my thirsting heart

Come into my heart

Let me quench my thirsting heart

Come into my heart

Let me quench my thirsting heart

Come to me

Noorie, Noorie

On this bright, mellow morning

The light touches my soul

On 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 into my heart

Let me quench my thirsting heart

Come to me

Noorie, Noorie

The pain is so sweet

Desire is aroused

The pain is so sweet

Desire is aroused

I thirst for love I'm possessed

I can't think anymore

Come to me

Come into my heart

Arouse my passion

Come to me

Come into my heart

Let me quench my thirsting heart

Come to me

Noorie, Noorie

This beautiful evening

Carries your fragrance

This beautiful evening

Carries your fragrance

When I see flowers blossom

I think of you

Come to me

Come into my heart

Fill me with fire

Come to me

Come into my heart

Let me quench my thirsting heart

Come to me

Noorie, Noorie

Noorie!

Noorie!

I told you to go see my father, like a gentleman.

I'm talking about seeing you, and you want me to see your father!

To see me, you have to see my father first. Understand?

But those two are like bodyguards,

your father and your pet, Khairoo.

Khairoo, if I make good money today, I'll buy you lots of meat.

You should have belonged to a rich man,

not a poor man.

Nabi.

Hey, Lala, so you aren't dead yet.

Why, what's it to you?

It'll be my turn only after everyone else in this village is dead.

Until then, I'm guarding my wealth like a snake.

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'm the one who'll have to pay for your funeral.

-Is that wood for sale? -No.

It's for your funeral pyre.

How much is it?

Three rupees.

For that wood? I'll give you one.

Lala, are you taking your money with you when you die?

Stop blabbering. Two rupees. Because you're a friend.

Take it, or I leave.

Fine, I'll take it.

Silly, I brought it for you.

Then forget about the two rupees.

Put it down here.

Very good.

Two rupees. Keep it. You've earned it.

Anyway, Lala, the good deeds of your daughter-in-law

-may cleanse you of your sins. -About your dog,

have you been teaching him to take what he can from me, too?

Don't blame a mutt.

-May Allah forgive you. -And may Allah strike you down.

Come on, Khairoo.

Hold on, Uncle. I'll give you some sugar.

You're asking for curses.

Here you go. Noorie can use it for tea.

A traitor! In my own backyard!

This wasn't my doing, Lala.

Typical of you.

It's free! Enjoy it!

The sugar is gone. Even the bowl! Give everything away, why don't you?

Finish eating and get to work!

Yes, I'm going.

So you're here.

You're very lucky...

to have been noticed by Bashir Khan.

The girl Bashir sets his eyes on...

becomes the gem of his boudoir.

What are you looking for over there? Come here.

Where are you?

I'm right in front of you.

Strange.

You vanish right in front of my eyes.

That's why I always say that love isn't for cowards.

If you come to my home, my father won't hang you for it.

I guess I will have to screw up my courage and face your father.

When?

Since I can't put it off any longer,

I'll come tomorrow. I'll dress for the occasion.

Allah!

Passed the first test.

Now, the second. Allah help me.

Salaam aleikum, Uncle.

Waleikum salaam.

Uncle, I...

I'm Fakir Mohammad's son.

Which Fakir Mohammad?

The carpenter.

We used to live by the river.

He made your bed. Fakir Mohammad.

Isn't he dead?

But I'm alive.

I can see that.

Sit.

I work in Bashir Khan's factory.

That scoundrel?

I just work for him.

What can I do for you?

What's wrong with you? Why don't you speak?

I'll come back later.

Strange boy.

Do you know that boy?

He told you his name. Yusuf.

Right. What was he doing here?

-To meet you, perhaps. -But why?

How should I know?

Where does he live?

By the river.

He told you that. He's Fakir Mohammad's son.

Where does he work?

Father, weren't you listening?

He works in Bashir Khan's factory.

So...

Why did he come here?

Do you know him?

Well, he's...

What did he say his name was?

Yusuf, son of Fakir Mohammad.

He lives by the river, and he has a job!

Noorie!

Nice boy. I approve.

I'm such an old fogey.

What's wrong? Why are you moping?

Should I be dancing?

Thanks for inviting me over and making me look like a fool.

-What's the matter? -What's the matter?

First your little brother, Khairoo, frisks me.

As if I was packing a gun! After he's done with me,

your father quizzes me like a school teacher.

You were in shock.

He asked you what you wanted and you didn't say anything.

Should I have sung instead?

Why not? I love a good song. I don't know about Khairoo, though.

Are you here to finish the joke?

I saw you moping. I thought I'd ask.

I'm fine, and I wish you well.

Good to know.

Anything else?

The wound is still raw.

Don't rub it in.

Maybe you could tell me about yourself.

I would be happy.

I received your letter and I know what you're going through.

I pray Allah that you will be happy, and find peace.

Thank you for your offer of peace and happiness.

In response, let me tell you that sentiment is no good.

I do not seek your sympathy.

I need your love.

In this matter, I should tell you that Father said,

"Nice boy. I approve."

What?

I'm not far away

I'm with you

I'm yours forever

I'm not far away

I'm with you

I'm yours forever

One look at you

And you bring me good luck

Come to me

Come into my heart

Let me quench my thirsting heart

Come to me

Come into my heart

Let me quench my thirsting heart

Come to me

Noorie, Noorie

Khan, you've lost Noorie.

In a few days, she's going to marry Yusuf.

It's giving you a bad name.

She's so pretty.

One look at her, and a man would even forget his parents.

Why don't you abduct her?

Once you're done with her, she'll be yours forever.

Even a year or two in prison isn't too high a price to pay.

I'd serve seven!

But for Faulad Khan's sake, we won't even look at her.

The bastard hasn't married her yet.

Not yet, but he will.

He won't.

If not Faulad Khan, let the dogs have her.

-Who was that? -Gulam Nabi's daughter.

Really?

Greetings, Khan.

Gulam Nabi, how are you?

It's all in the grace of Allah.

How long can you go 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 wants me to be.

I am Allah's servant too.

Would it anger your God if I were to help you?

I'm not helpless enough to seek a man's mercy.

Gulam Nabi, don't get irritated.

This would be for your own good.

Your daughter is young.

I hear she's very beautiful.

Keep me in mind. I may be of help.

That pauper talked back to me.

Why wouldn't he? He has such a pretty daughter.

I'm no Bashir Khan unless I abduct her.

Make no mistake,

if you eat something hot, you'll scald your tongue

He's Lala's friend too. It might prove costly.

Caught you!

I've been expecting you.

The big fish always eats the small fish.

Are you calling me a big fish? I could eat you alive!

All right, you have the upper hand.

And when will you have the upper hand? After you're dead?

For the poor, it's always after we die.

But every act will be accounted for.

You're not making sense.

You're hard-pressed to even find food.

What do you expect in that other world? Sweets to eat?

To each his own conscience, Lala.

Don't bring conscience into deals!

You need money, right?

How much?

One thousand.

Have you ever even seen that amount?

Honestly? Never.

Your land is already mortgaged with me.

Do you have any gold?

No.

A house?

Yes, I have my house.

That house is just a pile of dirt.

You'd get 100 at most for it. What about the remaining 900?

Lend it to me on interest. I'll sign anything.

And what do I do with paper? Eat it?

Tell me, why do you need the money?

-Are you getting married again? -Goodness!

I'd never commit a sin at this age.

Noorie is grown up.

And Noorie is all I have.

Lala, I want her to be married.

You know this village is full of devils.

I want to get it done as soon as I can.

And you want 1,000? What good is 1,000? Take 2,000.

You have to pay for the clothes, the jewelery and the food.

You can't do that with 1,000.

But I have to pay you back.

I'll have to work for the rest of my life to pay it back

How much longer do you have to live? For you, it's today or tomorrow.

We'll settle accounts in the next world.

Now go prepare for Noorie's wedding. Get going.

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 make the jewelery?

Two weeks or so.

Do you have anything ready? I can't go home empty-handed.

These all belong to others.

-Oh, I have these anklets. -Let me see.

-Pretty. I'll take them. -All right.

If it doesn't fit, I'll have it altered later.

Consider my shop yours.

Thank you.

Khairoo, you're coming with me to Bhabhi's, aren't you?

Bhabhi is so nice.

If you don't come with me, I won't talk to you.

Come on, I'm scared.

The iron smith's son, Faulad Khan, teases me.

Today, Allah would give me anything.

Khairoo?

Help me, help me...

Greetings, Khan.

-You wanted to see me? -Welcome, Gulam Nabi. Sit.

Have a seat.

The other day you got irritated for no reason.

I didn't mean anything by it.

After all, I live in this village too.

I will live here for the rest of my life.

I have property and money. I'm thinking about getting married.

What does that have to do with me?

You don't understand?

I want to marry Noorie.

I may be poor, but I'm an honorable man.

The whole world knows what you're about.

If you ever mention Noorie again,

I'll kill you!

-Who is it? -Yusuf.

Come in. The door is open.

What have you been up to?

Hiding your riches?

No, but I do have a diamond I'm trying to hide.

Do you think I'm a thief?

A thief? You're a bandit.

No one knows when you might elope.

Actually, I have been trying to steal something,

but I need your help.

How?

I'm getting married.

And I have no relatives.

I have a ring.

Would you give it to Noorie?

It's beautiful.

Don't worry. I'll give it to her.

Look, it's Lala's daughter-in-law.

Uncle, 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. -God 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 on both sides. Noorie calls me her sister-in-law.

I've 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 that Noorie be my daughter-in-law.

You come to a pauper with gifts.

What can I give you in return?

There's no 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 to you

Everyone held their breath

And some hearts burned

Everywhere she went

And your lover Walked into your embrace

Now that means

Let all lovers be

Let all lovers be like them

Let all lovers be like them

Let all lovers be like them

Let all 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, one rose makes a garden

One rose is enough

Let all lovers be

May they have a heart

No, let all lovers be like this

May all lovers

May all lovers be like them

May they have a heart like hers

May they have a heart like hers

He who sighs is no lover

He who romances from afar Is no beloved either

He who suffers in silence is no lover

He who fears the world is no beloved

Taking on the world is A matter of pride for men

Falling in love is for 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 lovers of legend May they be like them

Let all lovers be like them

Like women in love of legend May they be like them

Let all lovers be like them

Let all lovers be like them

It's you we love We are true lovers

Put us to test We are love itself

To lay down our lives We are ready

We are not outsiders We share your problems

Women awaken the magic

And make men in love Forget about their friends

Love is intoxicating

May men be in love

And also remember their friends

And also remember their friends

And also remember their friends

And also remember their friends

Lovers be

Women be

May lovers be like him

May women have a heart like hers

May lovers be like him

May women have a heart like hers

That's great! What a ploy! I could kiss your feet!

Just great!

Yusuf.

-Greetings. -Greetings.

So you're getting married? When?

Only if you can come.

True, what do you think, Faulad?

It can't go on without you.

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!

-Have a sweet! -Why?

My luck's changed since the engagement.

-Bashir Khan just gave me a raise. -I told you!

Noorie is going to bring you so much happiness!

I'm going to burn their lives to the ground.

Faulad,

before the wedding she'll be

devastated, scarred, tainted.

-What are you thinking? -Gulam Nabi has to die.

And not a soul will know.

Mister Khairoo, get up. Want some tea?

Time to get to work. Get up. You've had enough of sleep.

Even Father is ready.

Here's your tea. But go slow, the tea is still hot.

Enough now. You get greedier every day.

Time for work.

Bye, Father.

-Bye. -Bye.

Khairoo, stay with Father. Don't stray.

-Greetings. -Greetings.

-Greetings. -Greetings.

-Who is it? -It's me, Yusuf.

Father isn't home.

Is it important?

I'm here to see you.

Not before the wedding.

All right, I'll go.

Come in, but if anyone sees you, I'll get a bad reputation.

Where are you?

What is it?

Can't I see you?

No.

I just want to look at you.

-Why just a look? -Last night, in a dream,

I watched as you vanished in a thick cloud of winter fog.

I screamed for you,

you were laughing and then you vanished.

-Liar. -What do you mean?

You made up a story so you could come and see me.

It's the truth!

I don't believe you.

How can I convince you?

Find another reason.

-Tell me, are you all right? -Perfectly fine.

-You're alive, aren't you? -And talking to you.

I'm not a 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 did, you couldn't see them.

-Now I know that was your hand. -Hypocrite.

And I know that you're perfectly fine!

Liar!

Goodbye.

When is the next lame excuse coming?

-This wasn't a lame excuse. -Goodbye.

Nabi!

Nabi!

Khairoo, boy.

Khairoo...

Go get Noorie, boy.

Noorie.

Noorie.

Khairoo? Where's Father, Khairoo? Tell me where Father is.

What are you doing here alone?

Show me. Hurry.

Have the consignment sent over. His men have asked for it three times.

Yusuf, something has happened to Father. 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 had powers.

What I say comes true!

-Accountant... -Yes?

Give me the deeds to Gulam Nabi's lands.

He wished to be buried on his land.

But the land is mortgaged with me.

My friend, I give you back your land.

Khairoo.

Khairoo, get out of there.

Get out, Khairoo.

Khairoo, come on.

Khairoo.

Get out. Get out of there.

Khairoo, come here.

Khairoo.

Khairoo, come here.

Khairoo?

Khairoo?

Khairoo, come here.

Are you going to leave me alone, Khairoo?

Do you want to be buried with Father?

Father has left me. Will you leave me too?

Father didn't care about me. He left me. Will you leave too?

Human beings don't know what relationships are.

Will you betray me too?

Khairoo.

I want to go away on a pilgrimage for a while.

I'm devastated. Forty years of friendship.

Forty years, through happiness and sorrow,

through weddings and funerals.

Now Gulam Nabi is gone. A lifetime of friendship gone.

Honey, how about something exciting?

Let me rest a little, will you?

The evening has just begun. Are you out of breath already?

What about the rest of the night?

Khan, you seem to be enjoying my inconvenience.

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.

How much are a woman's sorrows worth?

What about me? I dance to your tune.

I pine for you. I'd die for you.

Deep down, you wish to ruin me.

Would you rather I refused you?

Even if I were to escape you, I'd be someone else's prey.

So I've decided, I'd rather die for your sake!

If you don't know how to appreciate

If you don't know how to appreciate

My beauty will go to waste

Didn't Gulam Nabi order some jewelery from you?

Yes, it's been 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 you were great friends.

I deeply regret his death.

A dear old friend passes away

and all you can do is mourn him.

Anyway, how much did he owe you?

Forget it.

No, the transaction must be completed.

The bill is 900. He'd given me 500.

Here you are. Wrap them up.

Gulam Nabi, what you did wasn't right.

You turned out to be a coward.

You chose death, and now you rest peacefully in your grave.

Cheater.

If you were going to leave, why did you make friends with me?

Was there no one else in the village to be friends with?

You fool! You should've married your daughter off before dying!

-Who is it? -It's me, Lala.

Come, dear, sit beside me.

You know, I always thought of Gulam Nabi

as a brother.

Now my brother has left me forever.

The poor man couldn't even have his last wish.

No, my dear!

As long as I'm alive, I won't let you miss your father.

I'll make all his dreams come true. Don't worry.

Look, your Father has left you all this jewelery for your wedding.

If you ever need anything,

don't hesitate to come to me.

Don't be shy.

Now be brave, my child.

I can't bear to see you cry. Hush, my dear, hush!

You've left me such lovely jewelery, Father!

You loved me so much. You have given me so much.

You were so happy about my wedding. Why did you go away?

You should've been able to see me in these.

Why did you leave, Father?

Why did you leave me, Father?

Bhabhi.

Yes, Yusuf, what is it?

Bhabhi, how can Noorie live all alone?

She has no one.

Yes, she's all alone, poor thing.

She used to come visit me.

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'll visit her. I'll look after her.

Who is it?

Your Bhabhi.

Father! I'm all alone, Bhabhi!

I have no one!

Hush, silly girl, hush! You have me.

I am not a stranger.

Father isn't coming back, is he?

Look at the state he's in.

Poor thing, he's been orphaned.

He used to bark at mealtimes.

Now he lies there like he's dead.

Noorie.

The dead do not return.

But the living can die.

How can life go on?

I don't want it to.

You have to live on, even if you hate living.

It's in no one's hands. And time heals all wounds.

Have courage.

I can't bear to see you like this.

Even Yusuf is worried about you.

It's very difficult for a woman to live alone.

I promised Yusuf I would cheer you up.

Do what you want, Bhabhi.

I have no one now.

Whatever you want me to do, 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,

only Yusuf stands between me and Noorie.

-He must be removed. -But how?

Beat him black and blue.

It's not that easy.

-If the villagers found out-- -No one will know!

In the forest, when he is on his way back from work, then!

We'll kill him, and we'll bury him!

Watch your step.

Why do you have to cross my path?

Does your father own this place?

No, you're the one whose father owns this place,

but he's dead.

Did he will it to you 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'll never be good enough for her.

Promise to never speak Noorie's name with your dirty mouth again!

If you do mention Noorie, you will be respectful.

Don't you even think about Noorie!

I mentioned you, and he used foul language about your mother and your sister.

It'll be a real shame if you can't get your hands on that girl.

Now her father is no more.

I broke my ribs for your sake,

for nothing!

Will you take on everyone for my sake?

Anyone who thinks ill of you.

I'd take on the whole village, even God!

Love me that much and I won't be able to live and I won't be able to die.

I'll love you till life itself lies at your feet

and death wants nothing to do with you.

And what about your own life?

What do you want for yourself?

One name: Noorie.

Yusuf, welcome.

I have some important work for you.

-Tell me. -There's a problem.

-I'm telling you because I trust you. -Sure.

You know Tekchand?

Turns out, he's a fraud.

I've written him so many letters, but he refuses to pay up.

Can you go to the camp for a few days?

I know you're 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 for a couple of days, that's fine.

Make sure you bring back the money.

For you.

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 want to leave you alone.

Then don't go.

I have to obey the boss.

Without you, this village will be as empty as a desert.

You're making this hard for me. I'll only be away for a couple of days.

Fine, go.

I'll make do with my dreams of you.

Would you like anything from the camp?

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 camp.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

I've brought you your trousseau.

Isn't it nice?

I'm your sister and your friend.

You know, when I was given mine,

I locked myself in and I hugged 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 yourself in once I'm gone.

Someone slipped in

Someone slipped in

Stealthily

So that no one sees him

And he gives me so many dreams

Someone slipped in

Someone slipped in

Stealthily so that no one sees him

And he gives me so many dreams

Someone slipped in

He looks into my eyes

What does he seek?

He looks into my eyes

What does he seek?

What should I say to him?

I feel like laughing I don't know what to say

Into my heart he gazes

I can hardly breathe

Someone slipped in

Someone slipped in

Stealthily so that no one sees him

And he gives me so many dreams

Someone slipped in

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 is aflutter

In ecstasy, my eyes are shut

Someone slipped in

Someone slipped in

Stealthily so that no one sees him

And he gives me so many dreams

Someone slipped in

When I think of it

He has bitten me with such venom

When I think of it

He has bitten me with such venom

I hope his embrace

Doesn't kill me

My heart pounds

I am intoxicated

Someone slipped in

It's so cold, and it won't stop raining.

Bring Noorie over tomorrow. Tomorrow morning.

A girl shouldn't live all alone.

Keep her with you until she gets married.

Let me go!

Khan.

Noorie is dead.

Someone killed her and threw her into the river.

What?

Some people are saying that she committed suicide.

Nonsense.

Everyone at the village is at the riverside.

Her dog is staring at the river and barking.

How could this happen?

First the father, then the daughter.

Strange are the ways of God.

I'll get going now.

God bless you.

Take care of Noorie's house.

Look after Khairoo.

Let's go.

-Greetings. -Greetings.

Greetings, Lala. Where are you off to?

Where have you been?

At the camp. On business for Bashir.

I liked a few things, so I bought these.

What do you think?

What happened?

Son, how can I tell you this?

What's the matter?

Something has gone terribly wrong.

You must be brave.

I don't understand.

Noorie is no more.

-No more? -She drowned herself in the river.

How could this have happened?

Why did she kill herself?

Her life wasn't hers alone.

How could she just die?

How could she kill herself?

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.

Can I live without you?

I don't think I can.

Why are you yelling in the middle of the night?

What's come over you?

What do you mean? What nonsense is this?

You just shot your own dog.

Noorie's dog was outside, howling.

Tiger was trying to chase him off when you shot him.

Listen.

Yes.

-Do you know where Faulad lives? -Yes.

Ask him to come and see me tomorrow morning.

-Khan? -Yes?

Are you all right?

Why do you ask?

-It looks like... -Like what?

Your face is dry and pale. Should I call a doctor?

There's no need. Go away now. Tell Faulad to see me in the morning.

Very well.

Greetings.

Faulad, welcome.

Sit.

What is it?

Faulad, I have a job for you.

Just name it.

I've been a little superstitious lately.

-Superstitious? -That dog...

-Noorie's. -How do you know?

The whole village is talking about it. It's gone crazy.

It roams the lanes and the alleys like it's searching for someone.

Searching?

-For whom? -God knows.

Some say dogs can see spirits and they even see the Angel of Death

when it comes to take someone. That's why they howl.

The Angel of Death?

They say that a dog howling at night means that someone is about to die.

Is that so?

What's the matter?

Last night, that dog was howling outside my house.

-God forbid... -I'm not afraid or anything.

But last night it ruined my sleep.

Why did it come to your house?

God knows.

Why don't you just kill the dog?

-Can it be killed? -Why not? It's just a dog.

Buy some meat from the butcher and poison it. He'll eat it.

And that'll be the end of it.

Can it be done today?

Why wait? How about now? I'll go buy the meat.

When they find him, he'll be a carcass.

I'll have the carcass thrown in the water.

For all your big talk, you can't even do this one little thing.

Had it been a tiger or a cheetah, I would understand.

It's just a crazy, half-dead dog, and you can't even kill it!

What could I do? He sniffed at it, then slunk away.

-The devil has gotten him! -What?

Yes, I've heard of that happening.

Satan will possess an animals and hunt his prey.

Prey? What prey?

How should I know? A dog refuses meat. Has that ever happened before?

And a dog that's gone hungry for days.

Stop talking nonsense!

This is just something you've dreamed up!

If he won't eat, stone him to death! Chase him out of the village!

Pay off the boys in the village to kill it!

It's a mad dog! It might bite someone!

Keep it. Spend what you want.

No more excuses.

Stop it! What are you doing? Aren't you ashamed?

You're stoning an innocent mutt! Have you no sympathy, no mercy?

Aren't you 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.

Human that I am, I have forgotten her.

But you, a beast, you're still mourning her.

Do you know something I don't?

Is there a secret that's killing you?

You've stayed hungry, thirsty.

They stone you, and yet you do not utter a sound.

Forget, Khairoo.

I'm not far away

I'm with you

I'm yours forever

I'm not far away

I'm with you

I'm yours forever

One look at you

And you bring me good luck

Come to me

Come into my heart

Arouse my passion

Come to me

Come into my heart

Let me quench my thirsting heart

Come to me

Noorie, Noorie

Noorie has been found!

Noorie has been found!

Nonsense. Are you crazy?

Really! Noorie has been found!

She died a long time ago. Her body was never found.

They've found it! By the river. The whole village is headed there.

And she doesn't look dead!

It's like Noorie is alive, smiling!

Like an immaculate soul. The entire village is worked up.

They're want to solve the murder.

Once they know they'll tear the murderer to pieces!

I should get out of here

or I might end up with a broken head for nothing!

I had nothing to do with it. Goodbye, Khan.

It's been so long 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?

Without love, how could I go on?

Without Noorie, how can I go on?

Why do those who leave never return?

Only He knows

Allah knows

Only He knows

Allah knows
