Hail! Hail! Hail!
Hand her to me.
What is your name?
Anarkali.
Are you a princess?
She is the daughter of the warlord we defeated Your Highness.
Great.
Unwed?
There's one way to find out.
Leave me.
Leave.
Jalal! Jalal!
Jalal come out.
What have you done Jalal?
Had Humayun been alive, he would have died of shame.
Is this what I have taught you?
The same sermons.
The emperor has a right on everything he wins in a war.
That's what you taught me.
I regret the day I took the responsibility,
of your upbringing and teaching.
You don't become my father just because you raised me.
I am Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar.
And you are Bairam Khan.
Better fear me.
You do not frighten me.
Like an ordinary soldier,
you couldn't control yourself.
Shame on you.
Enough Khan baba.
You have stained the Mughal empire and the stigma can never be erased.
The girl you raped,
was the princess of an empire.
If you ever lose a war,
and if a brute rapes your sister or mother,
what will you do?
What have I done?
Khan baba forgive me.
How can I forgive you?
You are the emperor.
I request you.
Even if you win,
don't forget your humanity.
Promise me.
Salima
She will be lonely
after my death.
Take care
of her.
Take care of her.
Salima.
[Jodha]We need to expedite our deal with the westerners.
[Jodha]We should think about it.
Let them come first.
Who is going to take these important decisions anyway?
The emperor's condition is deteriorating day by day.
The way Ruqaiya has handled the empire,
I doubt the emperor will trust anyone with important matters now.
He will trust Khusrav.
It's time to crown him the king.
I am like a mother to him.
He will ensure that our wealth is restored.
We must talk to the emperor.
Right now the emperor needs to rest from recover.
I believe we should call Salim back and end the rift between father and son.
What if Salim tries to retake the throne?
Ruqaiya you are like a mother to Khusrau
But I am Salim's mother.
And I know him.
I know you want Salim back.
It is too dangerous at these times for a queen to travel alone.
If you all agree, I can come with you.
Here. Let me comb your hair today.
I feel envious to see your hair.
You are so grown up now.
How are you allowed out of the harem?
I heard you aren't allowed to go out.
Everything can be bought in the world.
Even permission.
Aunt when I am older, I want to be brave just like you.
Fine. Forget all this.
Tell me. What do you think of Khurram?
He's rather handsome, isn't he?
Yes. He is.
Do you like him?
Does he like you?
I don't know.
Shall I ask him?
You? How?
I am going to Allahabad.
What if I take him along?
But why will he come with me?
No. He will definitely come.
I mean, if I tell him, he might come.
I see. So this is the case.
Will you tell him?
Why not?
But don't tell your father.
This is our secret.
Arjumand.
Brother, you have come at the right time.
I was just leaving.
You called for me?
I did.
I regret what happened to your husband.
I truly regret it
Had Bairam Khan been alive,
where would both of you have been now?
In the hills.
He was never fond of wealth and luxury.
He was here only for you.
It's a thing of the past.
Why are you talking about it now?
When time was good, I remained engrossed in myself.
But now, when I am close to dying,
I thought I will seek forgiveness for my crimes.
I am sorry Salima.
Forgive me.
Bairam Khan didn't die on the battlefield.
I murdered him.
Not everything has to be put in words.
It's so serious,
that my mother had to come.
Since when did such beautiful emissary come to deliver the emperor's message?
It's not just the two of us. Look carefully.
But why has he come?
And not the one who wants to kill me?
It's time to return home Salim.
Home?
I am home.
The home which has me,
your father.
He has become very weak.
If something...
Make amends son.
With whom?
With the man who sent Abul Fazl to kill his son?
Salim! That had nothing to do with him.
It is time to forgive him.
Come back.
I don't want to end up hating you like you hate your father.
How did you feel upon meeting your father?
Was father always like he is now?
Quite different actually.
How was he when he was my age?
Caring, fun loving, the life of the party.
Like you, he adored animals.
What changed him?
Some people say it was his father.
Others say the burden of being emperor.
But the true reason is that,
Salim is very emotional.
Grandma, did father ever nurse a broken heart?
Everybody's heart breaks son. Some day or the other.
So my father has sent you to do away with me?
Me and a murderer?
This...
A gift from Queen Ruqaiya.
It suits you.
You are not good at lying.
Wait.
I had something important to tell you.
Yes.
I...
I am pregnant.
And it is his?
So did you come all this way to tell me this?
No. Your father is unwell.
Father! Father! Father! I am fed up of hearing about father!
Yes I received Asaf's letter.
It's not just about your father. It's about the entire empire.
You are the rightful heir!
I will not beg for it on his deathbed.
What happened to our plan?
The plan was to break him down and humiliate him Mehrunissa.
Not to hold his hand and get emotional.
Then this is the right time to finish him off completely.
I brought you a weapon.
Your son.
Keep him with you for a few days,
but tell the emperor that he is your hostage.
It means to gain the throne,
I should use my son as leverage?
When your son could be the greatest threat to your claim,
then there is no place for emotions.
So I should destroy my son's present to make that child's future bright,
whose father I got killed.
When did I ask you to destroy Khurram or to raise my child?
Leave it.
If not for the emperor or the kingdom.
If not for me.
If not for your own self.
Then go back for your son.
Before another son,
becomes his father's enemy.
Khurram.
It would be nice to have a tour of the city before we leave.
Must you leave so soon mother?
If we don't leave today grandfather will assume you have held us hostage.
He might send a rescue party.
You keep your family in your heart,
and not in prison.
So will you come with us?
No Khurram. I won't come with you.
Because I have better arrangements for travelling.
I am sorry about last night.
I had no right to suggest that.
But my God knows that I adore Khurram.
And I have always prayed for his wellbeing.
You have made the right decision of returning to Agra.
Your father and your empire need you.
I am not doing this for my father,
or for the empire.
What happened to that fire that burned inside you?
These days, my fire burns for you.
And for another, who is dead,
and one yet to be born.
Prince Salim.
[Soldier]Despite knowing the terrible conditions here,
Lahore's governor Hussain Rehman has invited you to Lahore.
Accept the invitation.
Hussain could be useful for me in the future.
Prince Khusrau your father wants to see you.
Father?
There is no place for traitors in the empire.
Go and tell him.
- He... - I know why he is too scared to talk to me.
But if he grows man enough to face me,
tell him to meet me in Diwan-i-Khas.
I am going there to meet father.
You think you can come back here in my twilight hour,
to poach this kingdom like the common bandit that you are?
You can keep your empire.
I was never interested in it.
I have come only because I vowed to my mother that
I would try to make peace with you.
I wish you had understood the meaning of making peace too.
I am as you made me.
How dare you talk to the emperor this way?
I can cut off your head for your insolence.
Apologize at once!
Should I apologize to him?
He is yet to say sorry for Anarkali.
My situation is not so bad that
I would apologize for a two bit concubine.
Don't worry grandfather.
I know how to tackle him.
Khusrau!
Don't let rage overpower your senses.
Heed your grandfather.
Otherwise you will lose everything.
You were never in your senses.
You spent your whole life drinking, womanizing.
You couldn't be a good father.
Or a good son.
Grandfather will he teach you how to run the empire?
When he is clearly the weakest option to succeed the throne.
There is a difference between fighting foolishly and ruling a kingdom Khusrau.
Mere power is useless.
Fight with me.
So that we know who is the worthiest to succeed.
I have not come here to fight. But you are crossing your limits.
So gear up for a fight.
And meet me at the old banyan tree.
So that we can settle this once and for all.
[Salim] Would you like to bid my grandson a final farewell.
My lord, now is not the right time for this kind of rioting.
Our empire is already facing hardships.
Do not presume to tell me how
to conduct my empire!
You would have been rotting in Lahore if it wasn't for me.
And you both hear attentively.
Till I'm alive,
There will be no bloodshed in the family.
If you keep sneaking out of the harem like this
they'll catch you one day.
Don't worry about that.
What's wrong?
Is everything alright?
The emperor said something to you?
But,
He is sick.
Father, sickness doesn't make you forget your loyal men.
Mehr, he has done many favors on us.
He doesn't leave any chance to assert that.
It has become his habit to humiliate you publicly.
Father, you were born noble.
For how long will we survive on the emperor's grace?
Now is the chance to end this life of slavery.
At times the sword is the winner.
Fine, you work,
And I'll serve you.
I didn't know you have this knowledge too.
Wait and see what all I can do.
I've been thinking again about what you said.
Do you really think that you and I...
Why not?
As much as the child will be half Sher Afghan,
it will also be half of you.
"The hues have spread today"
"Drenched in colours"
"My beloved's home is drenched in colours."
"Today is surrounded by colours."
"Drenched in colours"
"My beloved's home"
"It is drenched in colours"
- Call Khurram. - Yes. Yes.
- Giyas Beg. - Your Highness.
You have to... You have to write something for me.
- Yes. - Get a paper.
It is my fault grandfather is ill.
He could not handle the shame.
Do not blame yourself.
He has been unwell for a long time.
[Hakim]My Queen.
[Hakim]You said to let you know when the emperor's condition worsens.
[Hakim]The emperor seems close to the end.
[Hakim]He has instructed me to send for Khurram.
Deliver the message to Khurram.
[Hakim]Yes my queen.
Why did he call Khurram?
Seems like Akbar,
nears the end.
What?
I guess this is why he has called Khurram.
He will give the sword of Humayun to Khurram.
So Khurram will ascend the throne?
But that is not fair!
But before he reaches the throne...
your sword should reach his neck.
Remember. Nobody has become an emperor,
without bloodshed.
Grandma, he is my brother.
So?
To Salima.
To Salima only.
Grandpa.
I want to speak to Khurram.
If,
this kingdom was yours,
what kind of an emperor would you be?
I don't know.
Because I have much to learn.
As a ruler, you never stop learning Khurram.
But your conscience shows you the way
and tells you what kind of a ruler
or human being you will go on to be.
What does your heart say?
I think the true meaning of being a king is to win your subjects' heart,
rather than conquer forts.
Love can do what hatred fails to do.
I wish I was as wise as you when I was your age.
Who told you that?
My father.
Salim?
Yes.
Salim.
Prince Salim.
I came to check on your wellbeing.
Come.
Thank you.
After such a long time, you inquired about my well-being... It feels good.
I understand if you hate me Man Singh.
I do not hate you.
I raised you like a second son.
I lost him.
But I don't want to lose you.
Salim it's time you take responsibility and look after your people.
I want nothing to do with this kingdom or the people Man Singh.
I feel sad to hear you say this.
You know that you are the real heir of emperor Akbar and not your sons.
One is too hot-headed and the other is too soft.
Prince Salim.
It's time you grew up.
Durjan got killed because of your immaturity.
Before another innocent loses his life,
handle yourself.
Prince Salim.
It is your father!
Khurram.
I want to talk to grandpa.
Yes.
Grandpa, I...
Giyas...
My Lord, who will get the sword of Emperor Humayun after you?
I...
[Ghiyas Beg]Yes Your Highness.
Your Highness.
Your Highness, declare your heir.
Do this last duty towards your people
and your kingdom, Your Highness.
Yes, Your Highness. Who is it going to be from them?
Who is it going to be?
