Sharif un-Nissa - Anarkali - The Dancer
"Flowers wither... but the thorns stay forever."
Phool toh murjha jaate hain ... lekin kaante daaman thaam lete hain
Nur-ud-din Muhammad Salim - Jahangir - The Prince
"Destinies change, eras change, dates of countries change, Kings change ... but in this changing world if love stays with someone ... then that person does not change"
Taqdeerein badal jaati hai, zamana badal jaata hai, mulkon ki tarikh badal jaati hai, Shahenshah badal jaate hai ... magar is badalti hui duniya mein mohabbat jis insaan ka daaman thaam leti hai ... woh insaan nahi badalta
Abu'l-Fath Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar - The Emperor - The Father
"Salim won't let you die ... and I, Anarkali, won't let you live"
Salim tujhe marne nahi dega ... aur hum, Anarkali, tujhe jeene nahi denge
Maharani Jodha - Marium-uz-Zamani - The Empress - The Longing Mother
"His father's politics he has learnt, his mother's love he hasn't known."
Usne baap ke raaz nahi the dekhey, Maa ka pyaar nahi dekha.
Bahar - Kameez - The Queen's Handmaiden - The One Who Saw
"Fear ? A crown does not stay on the heads of those to whom fear comes near."
Khauf ? Taj un saron par nahin rehta jinke kareeb khauf aa jaye.
