Jodha sees the moon in the sky and recalls Maham’s curse for her children, she feels uneasy and goes to Hassan, she checks Hassan calmly lying in cot and heave a sigh of relief, she takes Hassan in her hands and kisses him, she is making Hassan sleep and says why am I remembering Maham’s curse? Why I feel like her curse won’t leave from my way? Why dark clouds are packing my life? Wind blows and oil lamps in the temple blows off, Jodha lits it again, she prays to Kahna and says what is happening today? Please protect my children, she comes to Hassan again and has tears in her eyes, she gets headache thinking about it.
Jalal comes there and sees Jodha weeping, Jalal puts hand on her, Jodha hugs him tightly, Jalal ask what happened, you were lost at the ceremony too, tell me what is it? Jodha says I don’t know, things are not fine, I feel like something wrong is going to happen, Maham’s curse is ringing in my ears, Jalal says I have never seen a strong person like you, you have to be strong now too, you said that in front of motherly love, no curse works, see our children came into this world and nothing happened to them, so believe that nothing will happen to them now also, Jodha hugs Jalal again.
Suddenly, Hassan starts crying, Jodha gets worried and ask Hassan why is he crying? Is he hungry or what?
At night, Ruqaiya is sleeping in her room, suddenly, Hussain starts crying too, Ruqaiya gets up and swings the cot, but Hussain doesn’t stop crying, Ruqaiya sees Hussain, she calls Zeenat and says see what happened to Hussain, he has done vomiting, Zeenat says maybe his stomach is unhealthy, Ruqaiya asks the Servant to bring the Doctor, Zeenat says don’t worry, children do that, Ruqaiya says no, my Hussain can’t be vomiting like this, something is wrong.
Zeenat thinks maybe the poison has started working.
Jodha says to Jalal that I don’t know why Hassan wakes up at this time, Jalal says he is a child, he must have seen bad dream, Jodha says as you know a lot, Jalal says Hamida told me, it’s difficult to understand a child, you go and sleep, I will check Hassan, he has slept, Jodha says but Hassan… Jalal says don’t worry about him, I am here to look after him, Jalal makes Jodha sit on bed, Jodha says it’s not good that you are awake and I am sleeping, Jalal says you don’t listen to me, Jodha says when did I do that? Jalal says it’s my order that you sleep, he makes her lie on bed and puts blanket on her, he makes her sleep.
The Doctor checks Hussain, Ruqaiya says tell me what happened to Hussain, Zeenat thinks that I am sure Hussain got poison, the Doctor says nothing to worry about, Ruqaiya says my Hussain vomitted and you are saying nothing happened? The Doctor says maybe he drank more milk, so he vomitted, nothing to worry about. Ruqaiya says my Hussain Prince will be fine, Zeenat thinks then it was Hassan I gave poison to.
In the morning, Jalal is in Court with his Ministers. he says Rana uday is ready to meet us, but he didn’t agree to give our enemies to us, so if they want, then we are ready for war, Birbal says we should not take decision so fast, if they wanted war, then they wouldn’t have agreed for this meeting, Todar seconds him.
Raam gets up and says Birbal is right, we should send him there, he will crack jokes and will end this matter, Jalal looks at him, Birbal says you should not crack jokes, you go and sing your bad songs, Todar says we are here to discuss the matter, Maan says I agree we should talk to them first, Birbal agrees, Raam says I think that Birbal knows them, he must have been with them before, he might have bored them with his jokes, Birbal says you make people bored with your music, Raam says it’s not difficult to make anyone laugh.
Jalal says forget what happened, Birbal says I do my work, Jalal says this is Court, we will not tolerate this here, if you want to prove that you are better than the other, then we are changing your profession, from tomorrow, Birbal will sing and Raam will crack jokes and will make everyone laugh, Birbal says it’s not difficult for me, but I wonder who will wipe Raam’s tears, they go from there, Jalal smiles.
Todar ask what you did? Jalal says I believe that they are both diamonds, but don’t accept each other’s shine, when they will do other’s work, then they will understand its value, also they will put in their best to show that they can do anything.
Jodha says to Moti that Hassan is showing me attitude, he is not drinking milk, Moti says maybe he is not in the mood, don’t force him, you know Hussain vomitted as Zeenat made him drink much milk, Jodha jokes that Ruqaiya must have made hue and cry about it.
Jalal comes there, Moti goes, Jalal gifts Jodha earrings, she ask you seem happy? Jalal says today, Birbal and Ram Tanu was fighting in Court like Cat and Dog, I remembered you and Ruqaiya seeing them, Jodha says we don’t fight now, we are now cordial with each other, Jalal says that’s why you were making fun of her? Jodha says I was just discussing her great love for Raam, we care for each other now, Jalal says I know, Mahesh das and Birbal and Raam doesn’t accept each other’s work, so I switched their work to make them realize this.
Jodha says what? Now Mahesh will sing and Raam will joke, she laughs and says I am laughing thinking about it, Jalal says now you are making fun of it, Jodha says I am thinking you must have enjoyed it? Jalal says I enjoy the company of my children, I feel good to be with them, to spend time with them, Jodha says whenever you come, my work increases as I have to handle two children, one is Hassan and second YOU, you act like a Child sometimes, Jalal says I have seen many dreams about my children, I will make them learn sword fighting, educate them etc.
Jodha says you have thought a lot, let them grow first, Jalal says I want to make them great Warriors like Humayun, Jodha says I don’t know if they will become warrior or not, but I want them to have a great heart like their father and think about the nation first like their father, Jalal says this will happen, they hug each other, Jodha puts Hussan in Jalal’s hand, they play with him and becomes a happy family.
Jalal meets Birbal, he ask him is he tensed? Birbal says no, Jalal says when it’s about singing and especially about Raam Tanu, then you should be tensed, when he starts singing once, people request him to keep singing, Birbal says once I was in King’s Palace, their Singer used to sing only one song and the King used to like it everytime, I asked the King why he listens to one song everytime, the King said that he tries to understand what the singer is singing, jalal laughs and says you are amazing and have good jokes with you, birbal says that’s why I am here.
Birbal says to some ladies that now, I am going to sing, he drinks water first and says what kind of water is this? The soldier says Tansen drinks this salty water before singing, Birbal comments that’s why he is so bitter, Birbal starts singing funnily, Raam comes there and ask him to stop this joke, Birbal gives him handkerchief and says when people will throw you out after listening to your stale jokes, then you will need it to wipe your tears, Raam says you will need it the more, Jalal calls them both in Court, Birbal runs to Court.
In Court, all are sitting, Hamida ask Salima what’s the difference today? Salima says today, Tansen will say jokes and Birbal will sing, Ruqaiya says you are talking wrongly, Salima says no, they both don’t respect each other’s work, so to punish them, Jalal swapped their work, now Birbal will sing and Tansen will say jokes, Hamida says it will be fun.
Raam Tanu’s wife ask him why are you tensed? Raam says no, I am fine, she ask can I help you with anything? Raam says if you want to help me, then tell me some joke, I have to make them all laugh, but I don’t know any joke, his wife says I heard a joke that Birbal was saying to someone, she says the joke in Raam’s ears, Birbal eyes them, Raam says it’s good, now it will be fun.
Jalal comes to Court, he is greeted by all, Jalal says I am hoping that what will happen today in Court will be interesting, so I don’t want to waste time, let’s proceed the Court, Raam thinks that Jalal knows very well that I can’t make people laugh, I just hope that Jalal ask Birbal to come first, Birbal thinks same that Jalal shouldn’t call him first.
Todar ask who wants to come first? Birbal says Raam Tanu, he was in Court before ne, so he should start, Jalal says so Tansen Raam, you start and tell us some joke which will show that you are an amazing talent, Raam says okay, he gets up and says;
Once, there was a Palace and a Singer used to sing same song and the King used to ask him to sing one song again and again.
Jalal says same song again and again? Raam says yes. He continues that;
The King used to ask him to sing same song as the King could not understand the song and wanted the singer to sing it again and again, but the Singer thought that he is a great artist.
Birbal blabbers that he is saying THE JOKE OF ROBBERY, all smiles, Jalal says I didn’t know you can say good jokes like your singing. Todar ask Birbal to come and sing and show you are no less than Raam.
Birbal says today, the song which I am presenting is pure sad song, this song is struck between DONKEY and HORSE, this song can be sung in any situation, lovers sing this song too, its name is STRUCK SONG. Birbal starts singing weirdly and starts acting funnily, all laughs to it, all sings along with him, Raam says what are you doing? This is curse in the name of the song, Birbal says I know, he starts singing again, song chorus is “I AM STRUCK” all sing chorus with Birbal, Birbal request Jalal to accept his song, Jalal says “I AM STRUCK”, all laughs.
Jalal says very well Birbal, you not only sang, but also made everyone laugh, he says you both showed your talent today, you both did what you don’t do normally, Raam says today, I accept that Birbal did a very good job, all entertainment is done to make surrounding happy and Birbal was successful in it and my joke was a robbed one, Jalal says no, you also made us laugh, I know that the joke was not yours but you accepted that in front of everyone, it’s a great thing, Jalal ask them to come and we will announce the winner.
Jalal says they both did a fabulous job, they tried their best, they are diamond of our Court and I want them to gift each other, Raam says to Birbal that what you did was not singing but you made people happy, so it can said one kind of singing, Birbal says you chose the joke about a singer and accepted that you robbed it, it’s a special thing.
Jodha sees Hassan vomiting and she’s shocked, Ruqaiya sees it and shouts to call thw Doctor, Jalal shouts to call her fast!!
In the room, the Doctor checks Hassan, he is vomiting continuously, Hamida says Hussain had vomitted too, the Doctor says but this type of vomiting is different, Jalal ask what you mean? The Doctor says I don’t know, I tried my best, but I am not able to stop it, it’s something inside the child, Jalal says when you can’t do the job, then just say it, he shouts at the Doctor and says we will call a good Doctor, he ask Maan to call more good Doctor!! Jodha says don’t know what is happening to Hassan, Jalal requests the Doctor that do whatever you can, but make my child right.
Ruqaiya is in her room with Zeenat, Zeenat is br*ast feeding Hussain, she says it’s not good what is happening, I don’t want this to happen to Hassan, Hoshiyar comes and says Hassan is not fine, the Doctor is not able to detect the matter, Ruqaiya says Jodha must be worried, Zeenat thinks that so I gave poison to Hassan, I knew it that the Doctor won’t be able to detect that the child had been given poison, Ruqaiya says I will go to Jodha, she ask Zeenat to give Hussain to her, Zeenat gives him.
Jodha sits in front of Kahna, she is shivering and says please Kahna potect my baby, the Doctor says the child’s breath is going down.
Jodha comes to jalal and says to him to do something, nothing should happen to Hassan, Jalal says our child will be fine, Ruqaiya says what is happening here? There are many Doctors here, but nothing is going fine. One Doctor says we are doing what we can, but his vomiting is not stopping, Jodha ask should I make him sleep? The Doctor says it will be more dangerous for him, Jodha takes the child from the Doctor and ask him to open his eyes, Jalal ask her to give him back to the Doctor.
Jodha says at least, I am trying, all are silent here, Jodha cries and says to Hassan this is not good to make your mother worry like this, please Hassan open your eyes, listen to me, you are Mother’s good child, Jalal cries, the poison is coming out of Hassan’s mouth, Hassan does last vomiting and loses his breath, Jalal and Jodha are shocked.
Jodha ask what happened? Hassan get up!! She checks his breath and ask him to breath, look your mother is here, I will tell you story, this is not time to sleep, she calls his name again and again, Jalal can’t see this and cries silently, Jodha cant believe that Hassan is dead, Jalal says Jodha Hassan is… Jodha says no, nothing happened to my child, she takes Hassan in her lap and ask him to open his eyes, talk to her, she puts Hassan in cot,
Hamida says Jodha… Jodha says ssshhh, he knows my voice, Hassan will talk to me, Hamida says Hassan has left us Jodha, Jodha is shocked and looks at Jalal. She says no , no, no, she cries badly and falls unconscious.
Jodha is lying on the bed unconscious and a Doctor is checking her. The entire family with Jalal stand surrounding her bed, gloom and depression prevailing every where. The Docror says that Jodha might not be able to tolerate the sight of the dead body of Hassan again. Jodha suddenly rises from the bed. She looks at Hassan lying wrapped up in white cloth before her.
Jodha rushes to Hassan and she scolds every one for wrapping her child in white cloth as it is bad omen!
The entire family stares at Mother and Child, unable to hold back their tears as Jodha lovingly holds Hassan in her arms and talks to him lovingly. Jalal then comes to her and tries to explain the situation to Jodha, but jodha is unable to accept the truth. She weeps uncontrollably. She pleads Emperor to get her Hassan back. Jodha is distraught.
The entire family is in tears watching the heart wrenching scene of Jodha weeping over Hassan’s dead body
Jalal takes her into his arms and tries to pacify her, and control her. Maulvi sahab comes and does a ritual. Maan singh takes Hassan away.
In their room, Zeenat and Quasim are happy that Hassan was no more, their half job was done. Qasim declares they have taken revenge for one eye of his father!
In her room, Jodha is weeping before the empty cot. Jalal comes to her, he takes broken Jodha in his arms. He tells her that he is the Emperor, he could do anything but could not get his Son back. Jodha says she always did good for others, so why was she punished? Jalal pacifies her that this was bad time, it would pass soon. Jalal tries to calm Jodha.
