jodha akbar ka milan

At Agra)

Jalal gets back a message after a day that HIS Jodha begum is coming back. He feels as if his life is coming back and bringing lots of happiness. He is so excited and rushes to tell his Ammijaan that Jodha begum is coming back. Both mother-son duo hug and gives thanks to Allah.

After two days in evening, Jalal, Hamida Bano, Salima Begum, Atgah Sahahb, Jiji Anga and others are waiting at the gate of Agra Palace to welcome Jodha begum.

Jalal is waiting eagerlessly for his Jodha begum while Jodha is impatiently waiting for her palkhi to halt and put down so she can see her Shahenshah. She gets down and sees Jalal  and both lock their eyes. It seems like centuries have passed since they met. Their teary eyes reflect their happiness, relief, excitement and restlessness. 

Jalal (thinking):hamari nigahein taras gayi thi aapke deedar ke liye. Itne din humne kaise apne aap ko sambhala hum hi jaante hain. Aur jabse humne aapki aane ki khabar suni hain, tubse to humare par ek ek pal bhari pad raha tha aapke intezaar main! aisa lag raha tha jaise ki vakt teher gaya ho!

Jodha (thinking): Jabse hume ehsaas hua ke hum bhi galat the, tabse hume chain nahi aaya.  hume aapko aur kasht dena nahi chahte the. hum aapse shigr hi milna chahte the. hum laut aaye hain Shahenshah, aap ke liye, hamare liye aur hamare atoot rishte ke liye!

Before Jalal can come forward to greet her, Hamida Bano comes and hugs Jodha and tells her how happy she is to see her back and how much she missed her. All other ladies take turn to meet Jodha.   All are walking towards Jodha's hojra while Jalal is following them. Jodha keeps tuning back to see Jalal when others are busy talking with each other. Finally, Jodha and her company arrives in her room and tell her to take rest and leaves her alone.Just then, Jalal enters her room.

(Jodha's Hojra in Agra)

Jalal (smiling widely): Aadab Jodha begum!

Jodha (smiling too): Pranam Shahenshah!

Jalal: Hum bata nahi sakte ke hum kitne khush aapko yaha dekh kar! hume yakin hi nahi ho raha hain ke aap wapas aa gayi hain!

Jodha: Hume vapas to aana hi tha Shahenshah!( Now getting teary-eyed and getting emotional and folding hands) Hume kshama kar dijiye Shahenshah! Aapne humse baar baar kshama maangi par humne aapko kshama nahi kiya! aap hamare dhundte  huye mathura pahucha aur phir Amer bhi aaye aur phir bhi hum appko kshama na kar saka! hume bahot tehes pahochi thi ki aapne hum pe vishwas nahi kiya!aur hamare charitra pe ungli uthayi. Aur sabse jyada hume thes tab pahocchi jab aapne kaha ke hum vishpaan ke baad jab hum maut se wapas aaye to aapne kaha ke hum gair mard ke liya wapas aaye aur aapse badla lene ke liya aaye, aur aaj tak jo humne sab kiya woh sab naatak tha! Shayad hum se hi galti huyi hongi ke hum aapke vishwas na jeet sake!Par  Jab humne bahot socha toh hume ehsaas hua ke hamari bhi kahi na kahi galti thi! agar humne aapse ek baar yeh kehne ki koshish ki hoti ke hum vachan band hain magar samay aate sab kuch bata denge toh shayad yeh sab na hota! hamae kshama kar dijiye shahenshah. humse bahot badi bhul ho gayi.
