'Friends, you might've heard about Jhung,'

'wherein the river Chenab flows since ages.'

'It's a place wherein ruthless people shattered two hearts',

'in whose memory the province of Punjab still wails.'

'I've brought that pain from the heart of Punjab.'

'I've brought that pain from the heart of Punjab.'

'I've brought some pieces of those loving hearts.'

'The heart knows how the pain has been decked out.'

'The heart knows how it's been turned into a tale.'

'The heart knows how the sorrows have been celebrated.'

'It's only the heart knows,'

'how much of one's blood has been burnt.'

'The fire may not be mine.'

'The fire may not be, but the smoke is definitely mine.'

'It may be the tale of Heer and Ranjha.'

'But the narrative is mine.'

Do you hear it?

You hear it! - I'll die!

So sweet is the tune!

This girl's crazy! - Shut up!

Look, he's come. - Goodness gracious!

Beauties!

Ladies!

Darlings!

Sweethearts!

Sweeties!

Give me the blessings of youth!

Go, rascal! - Give him a slap!

Look, don't play pranks with us!

Are your sisters-in-law dead?

Not one, he's got eight of them. - That explains his attitude!

Crazy! - Of your beauty!

Mad! - Of your splendour!

I'm getting late! Let me go home.

Wow! What gait!

Stay away!

Rowdy!

Give me the pot. Let me quench my thirst.

Take! Quench your thirst or get drowned!

I won't spare you today! - Goodness!

She's gone!

You're no less than her!

He crossed the limit today!

Sisters!

Come here! It's about Ranjha!

How should I tell you?

What did he do?

Do you see this mole? - Yes!

He touched it!

He touched your mole?

Get away, let me ask her!

Go on, ask. Why fight? - Why would I fight?

You got thrashed by your spouse yesterday!

What's it to you? - Yesterday you came bare foot.

You too had similar experiences! Just stop this fight.

She came to tell something interesting.

Let her say it.

Tell us whatever Ranjha did with you.

Touched your mole, or something else? Tell it all.

Many things! - What?

My drape too! - What?

And, even this tender wrist! - The wrist too!

He twisted it!

He pressed it too!

He caused me pain!

What does that rascal want? - He comes there with wrong intentions!

Shameless man!

Teaches me to be shameless too!

Had he done that in private, I would've stayed quiet!

Would've harboured no grudges, nor vilified him.

There are other girls at the well and everyone's jealous of me!

Witches!

They simply keep on bitching behind the back.

You're a witch!

Why do you talk ill? Fear god!

Why do you instigate us?

Just look at your face! Will Ranjha ever harass you?

Ranjha would stay far away from the paths you tread.

Are you the only one who's dear to Ranjha?

People say you're in a relation with your brother-in-law!

***!

What happened? - Let go!

Let me go! - Wretch!

Let me go!

Leave her! What's the matter with you?

Let go!

Let go!

Let go!

May her tongue rot!

The whole village says so!

Praise your husband!

The poor man keeps quiet even after hearing all this!

Don't force me to talk now! You people have spread it all!

You've vent your fury and ire on me!

Wow! Look at the gait!

After all, she's in her prime!

Damn mouth!

All thanks to her tresses!

The crook!

Your brother will straighten you out!

Why did you go to the well? - The thirsty go to the well!

To harass young girls? To tickle them?

So, should I harass old women?

Say that to your brother!

Useless! What will you gain with all this?

You just idle and simply come to eat in the house!

Blame the youth!

Good! But the consequences will be bad!

Sonny, even I was young once!

But, go ahead and ask anyone. I worked hard.

We pick our hoes and you pick your flute!

We go to the field and you go to the fair!

Will you allow me to speak? - What will you say, crazy man?

Wonder how you were born in our house!

Ranjha!

Where are you going now? - Stay in the house!

Are you scared of me? - Why would I get scared of you?

Where shall I find a sister-in-law like you? - Crazy!

To the village. - Tulsipur?

Yes, a friend of mine stays there.

His marriage troupe is going. I've to certainly go with him.

You fool, will you go to Jhang?

Bear in mind! You won't return alive!

We've an old animosity with Jhang!

Mend your ways. - That would be beneficial for you!

My enemies are all here!

Wherever I go, the rest of the world is mine.

Stay here!

Let him go if he wants to!

Who knows, he just might marry Heer and bring her here.

The groom's troupe is here!

"That fatso aunt of yours,"

"we've heard she's crazy!"

"We'll take her away, she's quite lovely!"

"Once my uncle comes, he'd be all over the place."

"If he hears what you just said,"

"He'll make mince meat out of you."

"I'll gladly lock my gaze with you."

"I won't let you go at any cost."

"And, since you've called me to the garden,"

"I'll indeed pluck the buds."

"Pluck the young buds and invite your death."

"You belong to the family of blinds."

"How then, will you be able to lock the gaze?"

"Do whatever you want,"

"but, don't get angry with us."

"We want just a memento of yours."

"Better, give your heart to us,"

"if at all you take my heart,"

"wonder when you'll be back."

"Your gait suggests you'd make me suffer."

"We'll never make you suffer."

"Indeed, we'll never do that."

"We're taking away your friend, sweets."

"We'd take you some day too."

'The feeling of solitude is twofold now, after meeting her.'

'No doubt, the hearts bloomed, yet there seems to be a void.'

"Hide yourself yourself."

"All and sundry."

"The king's daughter,"

"Is on her way."

"Is on her way."

"Quickly, hide yourself."

"All and sundry."

"The king's daughter,"

"Is on her way."

Who's she? - Who?

Her? - Yes!

The daughter of the village headman.

Her name? - The name's Heer!

What a sweet name!

Is there something? - A desire to meet!

You're so naive! - Once!

Not at all. - Just once!

Go wash your face first. - You're quite witty!

He isn't too good looking! - Who's he?

I didn't ask.

Who are you? What should I tell her?

Tell her I'm a broke vagabond.

He's a broke man!

Why is that so? - Don't know.

Should I ask him? - Listen, come here.

Ask him where he's from.

Where are you from?

Assume that I belong to this very place now.

He belongs to nowhere now!

Ask the name as well, silly girl. - Oh, god!

Where am I stuck?

Name? - Ranjha's my name.

Heard it! Ask him what he wants.

What else?

He's head over heels for you. Desires to talk to you.

But, how's that possible?

At night. - At night?

Just forget it. - Should I?

Hold it.

Just ask him what he wants to talk about.

What do you want to say?

What should I say? - She asked me to inquire.

Tell her she's my dream!

That she's the moon that glows in my heart!

Tell her that the colour of the fields,

the desire of the butterflies,

tell her, the effervescence of the spring,

the freshness and the honour of the Chenab,

Tell her, the movements of the swings

and the soothing sound of those flying drapes,

tell her, the sparks that lights up from the heat of a wheat grind,

the swaying youth and the blazing frame,

tell her, the love of a bride's Kohl-rimmed eyes

and the sweet and warm feeling of the first embrace,

tell her, it's only after collecting all these qualities

that the lord created you Heer!

How will I tell her all this?

I'm sure to forget something.

What did he say? Did you understand?

I couldn't understand anything.

He was saying that you're like this and not like that.

Anything else? - Yes, many a things.

I'll tell you.

He was saying that... I forget!

Said that... - You're a dream of mine.

Not like that. Rather, he said you're some sparkling spirit.

He said a lot many pleasant things but...

Try to remember.

Keep saying. What all did he say?

What all did he say? - Yes!

He was saying how you were born.

'Where can anyone bring the pain of my heart from?'

'lf you really want to hear about my state, hear it from me.'

'Showed me a glimpse at that wedding.'

'And, the beauty made me spellbound.'

'The heart was unable to bear the distance.'

'Hence, I left behind my village Hazara forever.'

You...

You're from Hazara? - I've heard that tale.

There's this eternal animosity between Jhang and Hazara.

Your life is in danger here.

I'm ready to risk my life! - Oh, god! Go away from here!

Where shall I go?

I'll keep waiting for you here. - For how long?

Till the day the river Chenab flows

and till the day it's streams don't dry.

'Heer Ranjha could have never stayed close.'

'Somehow, they had their way with a lie.'

'Wonder what the daughter told her parents!'

'The elders retained him as a cowboy.'

'Look.'

Damn you!

Yes!

Allahrakhi!

Give food to the cowboy.

I just can't comprehend this cowboy you've employed! - Why?

Aunt, how will you go out there in such hot weather?

Then, what should I do?

She'll go, give it.

Will she? May god bless you! Here.

Where are you going? Come inside!

And leave the poor thing alone?

I got it.

Food! - Come in.

Look how the house is.

It's nice!

And the guest is better than the food!

I'm a fool!

Soni!

Soni's her sister?

Friend?

Maid? - Her cow.

That's the limit! Soni's the village cow!

Now, I don't have any complaints with destiny!

I'm fortunate to be a cowboy!

Let it be. - Why?

Your closeness robs my appetite,

but a thirst develops within!

Thirst? Then have the sweet buttermilk.

I've brought it.

You have the innocence and the playful nature as well!

I wish you were able to see your beauty with my eyes!

You've got everything, but the eyesight of a lover!

Ever since I've seen you, I've not seen the world!

And, ever since I've loved you,

I've never even thought about myself!

Life lies in achieving you!

And, my death lies in losing you!

Nothing else in my destiny!

Either, I'll seek you from the lord, or I'll steal you.

Because there's no other pearl like you in his treasure!

Do I have a right on your heart, or not?

Is the heart beating, or not?

Love is hidden in these beats, or not?

Stay grounded, Heer.

Why are you soaring? Walk a bit slow.

Sister!

Why are you so happy?

Be seated. It's your brother-in-law's letter.

Tell me too what's written. - No.

Hiding it from me?

For god's sake!

Will you tell me? - Yes, I will!

Then take it.

Make it quick.

It's poetry. - Bravo, brother-in-law!

Listen!

He's written...

What has he written?

You're a cow and I'm your bull.

I cried so much, my pillow got swept away in the tears!

I was too disturbed.

Even the bed wasn't sufficient.

At night when...

Damn! - What?

What should I tell you?

Go on! Read it!

I wish you'd written,

life lies in achieving you

and, my death lies in losing you!

Nothing else in my destiny!

Either I'll seek you from the lord, or I'll steal you!

Because there's no other pearl like you in his treasure!

'A hope's bloomed in many hues.'

'It's bloomed in the heart and the world blooms along.'

Will he come to the fair?

Better watch out. He'll definitely come.

The eyes searched for you at the fair.

I was there. But, you weren't to be seen.

I'd asked if there was love for me or not?

And, whether your heart is restive or not?

"I grow uneasy when you're not to be seen."

"But when I find you, I try to avoid you."

"What has happened to me?"

"I grow uneasy when you're not to be seen."

"But when I find you, I try to avoid you."

"What has happened to me?"

"Truly, I share the secret of my heart with you."

"And truly, I hide it from you."

"What has happened to me?"

"O innocent mate!"

"As and when I saw the effervescence of your love,"

"O innocent mate!"

"O innocent mate!"

"As and when I saw the effervescence of your love."

"I collected all the pleasantries of the world in my drape."

"I sway in this newfound style."

"And I shower this newfound bliss all around."

"What has happened to me?"

"I grow uneasy when you're not to be seen."

"But when I find you, I try to avoid you."

"What has happened to me?"

"O my beloved!"

"Colour me in the same hue."

"O my beloved!"

"O my beloved!"

"Colour me in the same hue."

"Play the flute again for me"

"and make my body sway."

"The one who starts the fire,"

"I ask him to douse it."

"What has happened to me?"

"I grow uneasy when you're not to be seen."

"But when I find you, I try to avoid you."

"What has happened to me?"

"Truly, I share the secret of my heart with you."

"And truly, I hide it from you."

"What has happened to me?"

Mother! - Mother?

Mother!

Aunt! - Did Heer come here, child?

Heer?

She might be in the village. - Village?

But, she's not in the village. - She was singing here.

She's definitely here. - That was me singing, aunt.

Then, where has my daughter gone?

What happened? - Heer's lost somewhere, Ranjha!

Got lost?

Move back.

Where? How?

She got lost.

That side!

That side. That's right.

Come on!

She must be there!

Not here too? Maybe on that side!

Not here too! Where could she be?

Help!

Help!

Oh my God!

Somebody, help her!

For god's sake, save her!

Help!

That was brave, my son!

Here, take this! Your reward.

That's great! What a price he's put on me!

My girl, you'd remember this father of yours!

I give you all that's in it.

Even those earrings. - They're a bit expensive.

Look here. The bag is all full.

Then, go ahead.

Go on and romance your beloved.

Pick up your needle and thread

and stitch colourful clothes to make all my desires come true!

You fool! Will I wear all this?

Come here. I'll explain.

Enjoyed it?

Don't tell it to anybody.

When should I come?

My gaze gave birth to the magic of beauty!

Embellished you and made you an even more accomplished assassin.

Why do you shy in my arms today?

One day, I'll take you away in a palanquin.

Don't be surprised on seeing me step out of the palanquin.

Don't be surprised if I feel like dying out of joy!

We'll never bear the distance between us.

If we can't live together, we'll die together!

"You've stepped into my world,"

"with a bouquet of gifts."

"With a silver frame and a golden heart."

"This is a dreamy night."

"You've stepped into my world,"

"I stayed in solitude and stayed lost,"

"with matters of the heart suppressed."

"For so long have I been wandering,"

"with all my desires."

"You've stepped into my world,"

"The drape slipped and the Kohl spread,"

"in this dreamy night."

"How should I face my friends now,"

"with these mementoes of yours?"

"The drape slipped and the Kohl spread,"

"None should be able to listen to the beats of the heart."

"Neither should anyone see me."

"Don't go."

"Get away, I'm scared."

"Listen!" - "I feel scared."

"The buds emit a fragrance in my heart."

"And, so many flowers have bloomed."

"With a bequest of those tender and sweet lips..."

"You've stepped into my world,"

"The anklets and bangles are jingling."

"And, my gait seems to have changed."

"Now you've to walk with me,"

"hand in hand towards the destination."

"You've stepped into my world,"

"with a bouquet of gifts!"

"With a silver frame and a golden heart,"

"in this dreamy night."

"You've stepped into my world."

Keep these things. - Why? What happened?

What will I tell if I'm asked who's given it?

I'll think of an excuse and come back.

Bravo!

That's great!

Flies! - What?

'Why won't the flies sit over the trader's grave?'

'Why won't the flies sit over the trader's grave?'

'His girlfriend was... '

'His girlfriend was the daughter of a sweetmeat seller.'

Bravo!

That's great!

'The beloved walked by, wearing the anklets,'

'as if she cut my heart into pieces.' - Wow!

'Heard that a folk dance was held in the lover's courtyard.'

'Her lover danced thus, he turned lame.'

Bravo!

That's great! Great!

I'll see you all! Better watch out!

"It's a great request that seeks out the heart."

"And, here's his leg that maims the heart."

I'll crush them! I'll pound them!

I'll burn them! I'll wipe them off.

Destiny made me cry and I'll make the world cry!

So, you've come back? - Yes, sir!

What's the news?

'He longed to marry, but came back a bachelor.'

'Came back in the same state that he'd set out.'

'Love doesn't even dread the thorns in the way.'

'Such is the plight! The heart's not at peace for even a moment.'

Sister-in-law!

Allahrakhi! - Coming!

The house is empty! What happened?

Where's everybody?

Don't know where senior master is, but ma'am is over there.

Fine!

Greetings, uncle!

What's up with him? - Forget about him.

A calamity's definitely on the way. Better get prepared for it.

You tell me! What should I do?

Better suggest some way out.

Look there.

No!

No!

Allahrakhi!

Get the water for ablution.

Where's your ma'am?

Call her.

Why don't you speak?

So, it's you!

Didn't I fool you?

Where's Allahrakhi? - Well, I'm here!

Are you in the habit of working?

Why not? Don't I know a thing?

Tell me the truth.

Do you need anything?

Father!

Speak!

Should I ask you for something?

Go ahead. I've been asking you to.

Give light to my dawns!

Let the light shower your dawns!

Give moonlight to my dusks.

Let the moonlight shower on your dusks!

Give me my life!

My dear, may my life shower on you!

Why pelt me with riddles?

Testing your father?

Seek! What's it that would mean your welfare?

What is it that will give you comfort?

And, what is it that will bring joy in your life?

Indeed! I'll accept it!

Tell me. - Well!

Heer!

Coming!

He's agreed to all that I desire!

Where's she going? - Where else?

She's going to share all her flowery dreams with Ranjha.

Oh, god!

May your legs break!

May you rot! And, may the dogs fight for your corpse!

What should I do now?

What punishment should I mete out?

Bury her alive!

Break her legs!

Gouge out her eyes! Break her head!

Tell me,

will you go meet him again?

You're my father! Kill me if you want to!

But, I can't live without him for even a moment!

Go die!

Lord, kill me!

Heer!

She must have met your lover!

This wretched girl knew everything!

Why have you come here now? - What has he said?

What message has he sent for her?

I thought you're her friend and you seek her welfare.

Aunt, what have I done? - You wretched girl!

Get lost!

You gave her so much freedom!

You've pampered her!

You granted her every need!

Now, you answer the whole village!

Just stop it!

I can't bear it!

I wish I were deaf not to hear this!

I wish I were blind not to see all this!

The light of the house has darkened the house!

Chaudhary, you were deaf and blind all along!

Had I not come here, who would've alerted you?

Who might have dared to tell you?

And, had anyone told you what your darling is doing,

would you have believed?

I admit my fault!

Pierce my body with your fury.

But, how should I remove this stain?

Better explain to me that as well!

A young daughter is like a curse!

Chaudhary, send her away somehow!

Even if the groom is a handicap, get rid of her. Just marry her off!

Uncle. - Keep quiet!

Don't do that.

Bloody ***! I'll kill you...

Except Ranjha, all the men of this world are brothers to me.

Lowly! Flirt!

She won't listen to you. I'll bring her to senses.

I'll marry only Ranjha.

Come on! I'll make you a bride.

This is your destiny.

I mistook autumn as spring.

Saida is the dearest son,

of Khede hailing in Rangpur.

They will come with the procession anytime you say.

I accept this proposal.

Think over it. - We don't have much time.

She'll again create some mess.

Such matter spreads faster than fire.

More you try to stop, more it spreads.

Nobody will marry her then.

No procession will then come to our door.

She'll remain spinster for all her life.

So lovingly I've reared her.

I had seen so many dreams about her.

Done so many arrangements for her marriage.

I brought everything for her.

She killed everything.

This is a grief for a lifetime!

Do what you feel is apt!

It's not marriage, but a stain that we have to wipe off!

Why to fear?

You've come again?

She's come along with me. - I know him well!

You're mistaken about him!

Love has transformed him.

He's a landlord, not a cowboy.

Mansions, farmlands, fields there's none like him in Hazara!

Listen! Listen to this as well!

He's from Hazara!

It means, very little time's left for the war!

I'll crush the enemy's head with my foot!

You lame man!

Get lost! Go!

Why, you ass? - Come close to me!

Let alone me, the whole village will come close to you!

They'll beat you and shed your blood!

Your reality's out in the open as to what sort of a cowboy you are.

Rascal, you're a resident of our enemy's village!

But, you haven't seen the swords of our village!

I'll lower my head happily for the sake of Heer!

I'll pull out your tongue if you mention her again!

Pull out my tongue!

I shall adorn her with my wounds!

Call the villagers, ask them to draw their swords.

Ask them to shed my blood and drink it as well!

You shall see the amusement that is love and its effect as well!

And, indeed you will see the picture of Heer in my heart too!

Let this night pass by.

I'll snap you off this inebriation.

The youth will forget to love,

such shall be the way I'll kill you!

If I kill you in the night, I'd be called a coward!

Be restive all night long.

The first ray of dawn shall be your last ray of life!

Your lover Heer won't even find the time to cry for you.

Because her groom's procession shall stride over your dead body.

Rascal!

"Two hearts shattered."

"And defeated, were the two hearts."

"O people of the world, I praise thee for it."

"Two hearts shattered."

"And defeated, were the two hearts."

"O people of the world, I praise thee for it."

"Two hearts shattered."

"And defeated, were the two hearts."

"The youth will see it's reflection in the stain of this heart."

"How will the rain fall?"

"and how will the swings be tied in the garden?"

"The eyes will dream about you."

"Two hearts shattered."

"And defeated, were the two hearts."

"I might not stay for long, but,"

"my cries shall resound in the village."

"The fields shall not be as green as always,"

"neither the henna would be applied on my feet."

"Nor shall the moon and the stars rise now."

"Two hearts shattered."

"And defeated, were the two hearts."

"I saw your love."

"I saw your love."

"And saw the way you turned your face away."

"No doubt you shattered the heart!"

"Alas, it's no game, this breaking of the heart."

"You too shall suffer along with me."

"Two hearts shattered."

"And defeated, were the two hearts."

"O people of the world, I praise thee for it."

"Two hearts shattered."

"And defeated, were the two hearts."

"Two hearts shattered."

"And defeated, were the two hearts."

"O people of the world, I praise thee for it."

"I praise thee for it."

I'd tied him here, with this very rope.

Who untied him?

Someone must've come here.

He might've run away! - He cannot run away.

He brought the evil from his village!

Why have you come here? - He's brought us here.

Chaudhary, where's Ranjha?

He has left. - It's the limit!

What were you doing here?

Why did you let him go alive?

On the 14th of this month,

Ranjha's brother will bring the proposal.

I've no problem with Ranjha's proposal for Heer.

And, we'll see what lies ahead in destiny.

Is it? - Yes!

Oh, I'm elated, I'm delighted! - Did you hear that?

He's our son after all! - He's a perfect marksman!

But, how did the magic work? - How did you win her over?

How did the girl fall for you?

Keep quiet. - She sure must be very beautiful!

She's quite beautiful!

Did you hear it?

The girl is very beautiful! - What's the big deal?

You're no less than her!

How are her eyes, brother-in-law?

Intoxicating!

Alluring.

I'll be dead!

Is she tall?

How's her complexion? - It's all pink!

I'm dead.

When will you bring her? - When shall the wedding take place?

Will bring good dowry? - Shut up!

She's a treasure all around!

Did you hear that?

We'll have all the treasure!

I know all that.

If you don't know then go to hell. - Say it for him.

Even if she abuses us after coming here,

I swear by you, we shall bear it all!

She'll be the queen of this house!

And, we'll behave as maids before her! - Yes!

If this is everybody's wish, I'll end this age old animosity!

They've called on the 14th of this month.

Kid, I'll reach there!

Stop!

You're fortunate enough to have survived!

The dacoits have killed many here!

Where are you coming from? - We're coming from Hazara.

Turn back. Right away.

I was called through a message from Ranjha.

I came here with Heer's bridal dress for the engagement.

What engagement? What marriage?

Rather, that was a pretext to get Ranjha out of Heer's way!

Ranjha went that way!

And, the marriage proposal came from Saida.

He'll repent a lot if at all he comes here from Hazara!

'The moon's rising, but look at the morose faces.'

'The moonlight is nowhere and it seems like darkness spreading.'

'The dreams are broken and scattered on the ground as such. '

'As if some groom's procession has been robbed off.'

Are you alone?

Why?

Call out to brother.

At least, let me show him where the moon's hiding.

Where's the bridal dress for the engagement?

And, where are the guests?

The wishes have come true!

And, the dreams have been shattered!

You've come here to chisel the aggrieved heart?

You've come to strew our ashes on us?

We're hurt and you smile!

This is the time when even a foe shows mercy!

Neither are you bothered, nor does brother grieve over the family!

Did you people ever think of my marriage?

Did you send my proposal anywhere?

Or did you initiate matters?

Did you make an effort?

Did you think of my marriage?

Whenever I get to hear music of a wedding,

it's like some funeral band being played for me!

Everybody's self centred and thinks of one's own self!

If such is the situation, this dream will never come true!

The engagement proposal never came from there and will never come in!

Heer's youth shall get wasted in this very house!

He has neither a daughter, nor a son! Nobody to look after him!

Just a niece and he's out to ruin her life!

He belongs to none!

He ruins everybody's life! - We'll ruin his!

He'll definitely be punished!

We'll certainly seek vengeance!

Goodness gracious!

What gait!

Loneliness disturbs me a lot today. - Scram!

Why ridicule this lame?

You saw the leg! Try my heart sometimes!

That's what brings me here.

I'm a great fan of your gait.

I'm unable to control my heart!

Just give me the wee bit of hope that you'd be by my side for life.

For the whole life!

Then hold my hand.

I'll die!

You're a rascal! - You're no less!

You're my life.

Look you'll burn away!

I'm the flame! Better not flare me up.

The tune might change.

The form might change.

My dear, don't make me suffer so much!

Take the body, take my life!

Take my conscience! Come, my love!

Come to the park.

Give me your life! Listen to me.

Come to the park with me.

Come to the park with me.

Look at me!

How they beat me!

And when I fell, they dragged me!

They wanted to gouge my eyes too!

They wanted to break my other leg too.

Every joint of mine still pains!

Some even said, 'Don't let the lame go alive!'

So, you've been thrashed by the girls?

Shame on you!

And, you've brought along the village council!

Go die shamefully!

I can understand that you're a rascal!

Did you indulge in eve teasing? Come clean and tell the truth!

I swear by the lord!

I told those witches...

Heer, with her tears, turned everyone against me.

She got me humiliated. And she got me thrashed!

Had she been my daughter,

I would've strangled her to death!

Go ahead and strangle her.

After all, you're her uncle. Yet you bay for her blood.

Did you hear? Say something!

Why don't you say something?

Why don't you open your mouths?

You all have daughters as well.

Remember, you'll be humiliated as well!

And, you'll die in shame!

The council is not that naive.

Don't consider us ignorant.

Heer has corrupted every girl's mind.

A dirty fish has dirtied the whole pond!

They've begun to match their might with the men?

The witches have even started raising sticks on the men folk!

Shame on this pampering, this love and this affection!

You've lead your daughter astray!

I agree!

She's obstinate! She's ignorant!

She's a guest for a few days in this village.

What's there to wait for? Saida is absolutely ready for the marriage.

He's a much bigger landlord than us.

Only the fortunate ones get such a son-in-law!

Quiet? Why, Chaudhary?

I'll ask Heer about it.

Ask Heer?

Chaudhary, what's the matter with you?

This decision of yours will ruin us all!

If Heer's wish is fulfilled, which daughter will obey her parents?

All the girls will turn into rebels?

And, they'll reject the orders of their elders!

Every young man of the village will behave like a legendary lover.

And, every house of the village will give birth to his beau.

Heer's your daughter and you're her father!

Do as you wish!

But, the village won't help you in times of need!

Furthermore, you'll be boycotted!

Don't think I'm not concerned about the village.

The village is as dear as Heer for me!

Perhaps,

this decision itself might mean her welfare.

I agree to the village council's decision.

I'll go!

Let me go!

Let me go!

I'm fed up of life!

Better, let me die!

Let me go!

Mother! My sweet mother!

Save me!

I don't have anywhere to go. Just hide me in your shade!

The sheikh has asked something of you!

Speak up!

Why are you seated like a mute?

You've already got us humiliated,

have you got your tongue slashed as well?

You stay quiet.

This is my job.

Child, this is a very important clause of this legality.

Better tell me, what's your wish?

Tell me, do you agree to this marriage willingly?

Tell me.

Say, whatever you feel is best for you.

Be it a yes or a no, say something.

Do speak!

The rascal's hell bent on getting the answer!

He keeps asking. - He isn't tired of asking!

Let him ask. There's this law in our religion,

that, till the girl doesn't agree, nobody can force her to marry.

My child, my love is all for you!

Say yes.

Pronounce the decision of your parents.

What shall people say if the decision takes so long?

Do you wish for the family to be disgraced?

The groom's procession has already arrived.

And, the music's being played too.

Sheikh, why are you joking with me?

The groom's procession and the music?

My groom hasn't come yet.

My Ranjha hasn't come yet.

Our patience has made you even more stubborn.

But, I'll bury you right away in this attire,

if you dare utter that betrayer's name again.

Mother, this sure is a trap.

He can never be a betrayer.

My Ranjha will definitely come.

Will your palanquin go to Hazara?

They're all prepared.

There'd be a war dance in the village.

If your palanquin doesn't leave today, many corpses will!

I beg of you! - Oh, god!

So, should I consummate your marriage with Saida?

It's a sin for me to even hear a stranger's name, sheikh!

Don't make me a sinner!

Don't mention him repeatedly.

What nonsense?

I'll pluck your tongue if you speak again.

Obstinacy isn't for good girls!

Heer, better obey your elders.

When the elders are telling me to break the tradition of faith

and to forget my god, how then should I obey my elders?

Such great love!

Heard that, sister-in-law?

She beats a legendary lover!

I'll go inform Chaudhary!

I'll have the family disgraced!

Grace and honour are the jewels of the womenfolk.

And, the woman's beauty lies in being quiet!

After reducing me to this plight,

are you scared of my cries?

It's you who raised the storm

and you yourself are scared of the wind?

You've swum a lot, now come ashore.

There's no shore for love!

What nonsense? At least, dread the lord!

The lord is not yours alone!

Shut your mouth, filthy girl! - Don't scream.

I'll punish you for this. - Don't antagonize me.

The world's hatred... - Will be for you.

The world's curse... - Will be all for you.

Sinner! - Merciless!

Shameless!

You serpent!

May the wrath of hell befall you, sheikh!

It's because of Chaudhary that I'm quiet.

Else, I would've burnt her tongue!

People would've spat on your face.

I would have burnt the village!

Why are you forcing me?

Who has given you the right? Tell me.

You're a sheikh.

And you're supposed to go away after hearing the girl's response.

It's true that love is a curse, a disease and a malady!

Love isn't a curse, but worship and a prayer!

The one who can't survive love is useless!

The heart wherein love doesn't exist.

The lord does not exist there!

Heer, love is an enemy to the religion!

Go away. I place you under lord's oath!

Go away!

Why are you here to torture me?

Why are you here to torment me?

What shall you gain with all these tears of mine?

And, what shall you gain after giving me all this pain?

Why do you aggravate the wounds of the heart?

And, why do you diffuse the light within?

Tell me O' lord,

where should I go now?

And, who should I beg to now?

None is having mercy on me!

No stone-hearted person melts for me!

None heeds my cry!

I'm all alone. All have become tormentors!

So late?

Didn't I say? - I don't think the situation is apt!

Disaster lurks around!

Tell everybody to draw their swords! - No, hold it!

She utters love here and there, swords are being drawn.

The people of Hazara have humiliated us.

And now, they'll chop off Chaudhary's head!

She's not concerned that her mother would be a widow.

She'd still call her beau.

Watch it.

She'll set her marital bed on her father's grave!

What sort of daughter did I give birth to?

Who did I rear so lovingly?

My womb's been disgraced!

Better die, than live like this!

Poison!

What are you doing? - Let go!

I can't face the world! - Why do you worry?

I'm still around!

She sure would come to her senses.

Say it! - Shameless!

Open your eyes and see.

Your mother was about to consume poison!

Instead of your palanquin, a dead body was about to depart!

I beg of you!

Let me die. Let me consume that poison!

She's not my daughter, but an enemy!

Allow me to go away from her shadow!

Just announce that she's agreed!

Announce that she said 'yes', though shying!

Just consummate her marriage with Saida!

Our welfare lies therein!

She hasn't agreed, nor will she ever!

You're scared of him?

He's dumb!

You've brought quite a good witness!

I was aware of the outcome!

Stop!

Wait! Stop!

She's agreed joyously!

Congratulations!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Why have you imprisoned me?

What sort of captivity is this?

Why doesn't anyone listen to me? Has everyone died?

Is everyone deaf and dumb?

You've become like the rest?

Even your tender heart has turned into a stone?

I was a free man in the village of foes.

I've been confined in my own house!

You're crying?

Just smile, my friend!

Look, my funeral proceeds with such pomp and gaiety!

There's been many a great deeds in the world,

but I'll always remember your favours bestowed on me!

Mother, don't send me thus from your house!

Come hold me in your embrace!

You certainly conducted this sham called marriage,

but never did I and never will I, agree to this union!

The world shall surely ask you,

as to how you sent off an unmarried daughter!

Come, lend a shoulder to your daughter's funeral!

At least help her go to her grave!

"Heer cried the moment she stepped into the palanquin."

"They're taking me!"

"Taking me to my in-law's, father."

"Stop me, father!"

"Stop me!"

"I don't know where this strange palanquin might take me!"

"Couldn't find peace for a moment or two!"

"It was pain and agony all along."

"Father, forgive every wrongdoing of mine."

"Since, your house was my abode for a few days!"

"Ranjha, I leave you in the lord's care."

"I'm headed towards the realm of a tyrant!"

"The coffer of love stayed ever unfilled."

"Couldn't even take anything along."

She had just regret, no grievance!

You couldn't even witness her funeral!

"Who'll take care of you after I'm gone?"

"There's only solitude in your destiny."

"My hopes didn't match the outcome."

"The lord stood careless!"

"Indeed, the lord stood careless!"

Damn!

You've come now?

Yes! Chaudhary, I've come!

And, I've brought two broken hearts to gift to you!

Look at your face in them!

Judge your decency!

And, see your own reality in it!

Liar! Cheat!

Deceiver!

Stop this right away!

Don't try to provoke the silent storm!

Don't try to flare up the dousing fire!

Never did you return!

Never did your brothers come! Neither did you send the proposal.

What are you talking about, Chaudhary?

My brothers did come! Go ask the goons!

They even brought the bridal dress!

You rebuffed them! - Rebuffed them?

You got them thrashed! - This is a lie! An accusation!

Wonder whose handiwork that was! - You lame!

Where are you going?

You're responsible for this tyranny! I won't spare you!

You...

Save me!

Save you?

You're an enemy, not a brother!

I'll kick you!

I'll kill myself, even if you try to touch me!

I straight away refused!

And, my lord is my witness!

The sheikh cheated upon you

and got me married to you.

Shut up! You've gone crazy!

Had you not agreed,

the sheikh wouldn't have committed this sin.

Neither would he have conducted the wedding!

Whose sin and who's the sinner?

I'm least concerned!

You've come here after getting married!

It's a matter of my honour!

I've come here to seek refuge!

Have mercy on my love!

Don't come close to me!

I'm a stranger!

She's a stranger!

You're a stranger?

What farce is this?

A stranger woman tied up with me!

I've been disgraced!

Even if you don't give me your heart,

I'll win over your body at any cost!

No! - You won't budge so easily!

For god's sake! Is someone there?

She's very naive! She's very innocent!

God bless her!

Get up, mother! - What happened?

Come along! - Give us the good news!

God willing!

Congratulations to you for the daughter-in-law

and a sister-in-law for you!

Now sit here and beat the drums!

You were very happy that a moon would rise in the courtyard!

I'll have to hide in the darkness.

What happened? - Ask her!

She's come here after losing her heart to someone!

No! There are guests in the house!

"This world!"

"This congregation!"

"It has no meaning for me."

"It has no meaning for me."

"This world!"

"This congregation!"

"It has no meaning for me."

"It has no meaning for me."

"This world!"

"This congregation!"

"It has no meaning for me."

"It has no meaning for me."

"This world!"

"This congregation!"

"It has no meaning for me."

"It has no meaning for me."

"Whom shall I narrate the tale of a restive heart?"

"I'm the dousing light of my own grave."

"Wish I could forget, but there's no way I could."

"The splendour with which the funeral of my love proceeded."

"This world!"

"This congregation!"

"It has no meaning for me."

"It has no meaning for me."

"I've no recollection of myself, nor of my beloved."

"Not even the foe should face such a situation in love."

"The ones who're in search of the lord, should find Him."

"I simply need a glimpse of my beloved."

"This world!"

"This congregation!"

"It has no meaning for me."

"It has no meaning for me."

"I couldn't find respite even in the desert."

"I couldn't find a way to forget my grief."

"The heart craves for the love of the beloved."

"Tell me what should I term the world as?"

"Losing a triumphant battle, I search for my beloved."

"This world!"

"This congregation!"

"It has no meaning for me."

"It has no meaning for me."

"Someone far away is shedding tears."

"How can I not go? Someone's calling me!"

"Either unite the shattered hearts,"

"or break all the bonds."

"O' mountain, give me the way."

"O' thorns, spare me."

"This world and this congregation."

"It has got no meaning for me."

"It has got no meaning for me."

"This world!"

"This congregation!"

"It has no meaning for me."

"It has no meaning for me."

"This world!"

"This congregation!"

"It has no meaning for me."

"It has no meaning for me."

This world is a very beautiful place, sage.

There's love,

the beloved and friendship as well.

It's a colourful heaven, O' sage!

You haven't understood this world as yet!

The world unites and then separates the hearts.

The world, as always, makes one cry after all that laughter.

There's no friend in here.

You don't know him well, sage.

This unfortunate guy's name is Murad.

The fellow is keen on butting his head in the mountains.

The Chaudhary of our village, Saida.

The one who's married to Heer.

This fellow is in love with her younger sister.

This fellow is willing to die in her name.

She's quite affectionate to him too.

Sleeping, or dead?

Make it fast!

Or else I'll crush your bones in the same grinder!

Did you meet him?

Yes, I met him.

Then, why are you so sad?

I remain discontented in spite of meeting him!

Hail the lord!

Look at me!

Fill my belly with something to eat!

Take these alms.

Here, sage.

You neither are sorrowful nor are you a recluse.

I'll accept it only from the one who's aggrieved with life.

Are you a sage or a conman?

Get lost from here, goon!

If my brother comes, you'll be thrashed!

Why are you being so arrogant, girl?

This youth has a very short span.

This style, beauty and vivacity has a short span.

You're looking at my beauty?

Damn! May you lose your eyesight!

May you be confined to the grinder and may your bones break!

Stop swaying, girl!

If you harass the sage, you'll lose this beauty in an instant.

Get lost! I make bears like you dance on the streets!

And, I truly understand a man through his eyes!

I'm able to comprehend everything.

By the grace of the Guru, I can read the eyes.

Provide me with alms. All your wishes will be granted!

Fulfil my wish and you'll get your Murad.

I'll get Murad? - You'll get Murad.

Get up! - But, where?

He's quite a learned sage, sister-in-law.

He reads the mind through the eyes.

Probably, he might grant peace to you as well.

He blesses first and then seeks something.

Why do you look at me like this, sage?

Won't I ever get any peace?

Will I always walk on thorns?

Will I keep burning like this?

Won't I ever get to feel drops of monsoon in my life?

Won't I ever get to feel the spring in my life?

Tell me what's written in my destiny?

Bless me so that I come out of my predicament.

You're facing the same quandary that I face!

Both are wounded with the same arrow!

Your wounds are afresh due to my sufferings!

These are you tears in my eyes!

You don't know whose name I chant all the time!

I've turned a recluse for the one I became a cowboy for!

The grave wherein my tears are buried,

truly, I shall spend my night in that tomb.

And, the place wherein I've begun to chant,

is the very place where I shall get united with my soul!

"I stayed in solitude and stayed lost,"

"with feelings of my heart within."

"Have been wandering along, with all my desires."

How many storms did come? - Don't ask how many wounds I bore.

There was so much of darkness, yet Heer always remained yours!

I visited all the shrines for your sake.

I found you and I found god!

Embrace me, my love!

Enter me through every vein of mine!

You've come into my arms like the moonlight!

The night has glowed with your arrival!

The night shall pass away in our love!

The night shall burn away in our love!

Take me away from the world!

Take me away from here!

The bird's left with no feathers to fly.

It'll certainly be grounded when hit once.

Had I not been in love with Heer,

the head wouldn't have stayed on the shoulders!

Beware!

Who are you?

The king's soldiers!

These are our criminals!

Who's the criminal? It would be decided in the court.

What is the riddle I haven't solved to date?

Such a cry hasn't come to my court to date.

Heer and Ranjha!

If your crime is proved,

I'll certainly punish you both for eloping.

The way someone washes a stain,

I'll erase you from the face of this earth!

And,

if there's some conspiracy between Saida and the priest,

if this marriage indeed isn't legal,

then they shall get such a punishment,

that the land shall get wet

with their blood!

Sheikh!

Hope to hear the truth from you.

I'll speak the truth. - I agree.

But, I know something about you.

How will I understand that you're a liar?

But, I must say that you're a wee bit lesser than the lord.

The life in this delicate body is of the lord.

And, the tongue in the mouth belongs to the lord as well.

So if you open your mouth, you will speak the truth.

Or else, you won't open your mouth.

My faith is dearer to me than my life.

Do you think I'm a liar, O' minister?

Did Heer say 'yes' to you? - Of course.

Are you telling the truth? - Yes!

You're telling a lie! - Yes!

I mean, no! Lord punish the liar!

Truly, Heer said 'yes' twice!

Heer shall definitely get the punishment for it!

Whatever be the crime, she's done it!

She might have whispered something.

And, you might have heard something else.

The whole house heard what Heer said.

She was screaming like crazy.

Did you hear, Your Majesty?

Heer was screaming!

Why would she scream if she was in agreement?

If her desire was being fulfilled,

why then would Heer scream like mad?

Fact is, Your Majesty, she did refuse initially.

But, her mother was about to commit suicide.

And, she melted due to her mother's emotions.

So she bowed and said 'yes.'

If Your Majesty permits me I'd like to speak to the priest.

So, did the mother force her?

Because the house was about to be ruined!

So, if the girl under any pressure or fear.

Agrees for the marriage, the marriage is null and void.

Such a marriage is not legal in our religion.

If Heer refused it,

this marriage is not a marriage in any way.

If she refused for the marriage,

why then did she come to my house as a bride?

Tell me, any night after marriage,

did you listen to your wife's heartbeat?

I want to hear the truth, not a tale.

Did Heer ever accept you as her husband?

No!

So, tell me what's the truth now? - Heer agreed!

Think again.

Heer had agreed, Your Majesty!

Get up, Sheikh.

Do you know what this is?

Yes I do.

It's the holy Quran!

And, the one who lies before it, is a devil!

I'm telling the truth!

Place it on your head first and then speak!

Heer did refuse at first and then, she agreed.

Your words stink of a lie!

Bring some witness!

Is there someone along with you?

I swear by the rule of my king!

I swear by the royal crown!

I'll speak the truth and nothing else!

Heer willed for the marriage!

Your Majesty!

Look, who all are involved!

This life is indeed in your hands now!

Why don't you speak?

You're dumb?

You've brought a dumb witness?

Lie is a crime! Do you know that?

And, do you abide by the law of the religion?

Did the priest ask for Heer's permission?

Did Heer say anything?

Did she agree, or, was she happy with the marriage?

Did she agree, or, was she happy with the marriage?

Then how did the Sheikh conduct the marriage?

That means he took bribe?

Lord's mercy!

Tell me now,

did she say 'yes'?

No!

Was she happy with the marriage?

No! - Did you seek her assent?

Your majesty!

Did you accept the bribe? - Your majesty!

"The body is dancing!"

"The hue is spreading!"

"The body is dancing!"

"The hue is spreading!"

"My brother-in-law will bring..."

"A beauty with fair cheeks...!"

"A beauty with long hair...!"

"A beauty with a lovely gait...!"

"The body is dancing!"

"The hue is spreading!"

"The body is dancing!"

"The hue is spreading!"

"My brother-in-law will bring..."

"A beauty with fair cheeks...!"

"A beauty with long hair...!"

"A beauty with a lovely gait...!"

"The body is dancing!"

"The hue is spreading!"

"Leave my way, I want to go to the garden."

"I want to steal and bring those buds."

"Let me adorn your face, let me beautify your forehead."

"I'm going crazy."

"The body is dancing!"

"The hue is spreading!"

"My brother-in-law will bring...!"

"A beauty with fair cheeks...!"

"A beauty with long hair...!"

"A beauty with a lovely gait...!"

"The body is dancing!"

"The hue is spreading!"

Your happiness is ours!

Bravo, girl!

You've won and I've lost.

At least, accept the sweet from me.

Wonder if I'll be able to see you again.

Don't delay it. Get down.

Are you feeling shy?

Come.

Come out.

"Who'll take care of you after I'm gone?"

"There's only solitude in your destiny."

"My hopes did not match the outcome."

"The lord stood careless!"

"Indeed, the lord stood careless!"

'So, the tale of Heer and Ranjha comes to an end.'

'They didn't lose, the world lost to them.'

'Their light of love shall always burn.'

'The ones who got separated on earth,'

'shall indeed, get united in heaven.'
