:17:11
O Lord, you are silent.
Let me see Salim's face
:17:16
His Majesty has ordered Durjan to
bring the prince back to the Court
:17:24
Bahaar, you have come with a
message of joy to dry our tears
:17:29
I shall reward you
with plentiful pearls
:17:33
It is not enough. I want the prince to
walk on pearls, when he returns
:17:37
And more than that, Bahaar.
I allow you everything for Salim
:17:43
My son is returning after many years
:17:48
I shall ask the Emperor to
let me have him
:17:52
He has seen his father's
manner of rule...
:17:57
but not the love of his mother
:18:01
Tell the Court Dancer to prepare
an elegant dance...
:18:07
to erase the fiery images of war
from Salim's eyes
:18:11
And tell Tansen to compose such
melodies for Salim's welcome
:18:16
that he will forget the bellow
of cannons
:18:20
Bahaar, encircle Salim with
everlasting spring
:18:25
Make a thousand moons glow
for my son
:18:28
Where his steps fall, let there be
an astral carpet
:18:33
And wherever he glances,
let there be heaven
:18:36
All that my heart yearns for
but cannot express
:18:54
O Lord, let that auspicious moment
come soon
:18:58
when my son shall be before
my eyes
