Popat Ki Kahin - Jasjit/Prince ki Zubani - teesra tatha antim bhag
----------------------------------------

[ Popat follows the heroine to the beach. ]

He: Akeley-akeley kahan ja rahe ho, hamen saath le lo jahan ja rahe ho..

She: Jahan main jaati hoon, waheen chale aate ho...

Popat: Lina o Lina, dil tune chcheena,
       saare shahar mein, nahee tujhsee koi haseena 
     
 [as the perceptive ones might have figured out by now, her name
  is Lina]

Popat: Ham tumhe chahte hain aise, 
       Marne vala koi zindagi chahta ho jaisey..

Lina: Jhooth bole kaua kate...

Popat: Dard-e-dil, dard-e-jigar, dil me jagaya aapne....

Lina: Muhabbat rang lati hai janab aheesta-aheesta

Popat: Jaldi se han keh de nahi te shor mach jayega...

Lina: Ab chahe ghar chchoote ya baaba yaara maine to haan kar...

Background: Pyar hua, ikarar hua....

Popat: Hum tum dono jab mil jayenge, ek naya itihas baneyenge..

Lina: Jaano meri jan main tujh pe kubaan...

Popat: Ding Dong, O baby sing a song...

She: Ye zamin ga rahi hai, aasman ga raha hai...

Popat: Aaj in nazaron ko tum dekho, aur main tumhe dekhte huey dekoon..

[It is getting dark ]

She: Dhal gaya din, ho gayee sham, jane do, jana hai...

Popat: Na ja kahin ab na ja di ke siva...

She: Kal ki haseen mulkat ke liye, aaj rat ke liye
     Hum-tum juda ho jate hain...

Popat: Mere mehboob na ja, aaj ki raat na ja...

Lina: Sayonara, Sayonara, vada nibhaoongi Sayonara....
      Ithlati bal khati, kal phir aoongi sayonara...

[ Lina leaves.. and night falls ]

Popat: Din dhal jaye hai, raat na jaye...

Lina [from far away]: Yaad aa rahi hai... 


[ Next day..Popat is waiting for Lina ]

[2 o'clock]

Popat: Aja re ab mera dil pukara....

[3 o'clock]

Popat: Jo vada kiya vo nibhana parega,
       Roke zamana chahe, roke khudai, tumko ana parega..

[4 o'clock]

Popat: Teen baje bola tha baj gaye char...

[5 o'clock]

Popat: Intehan ho gayee intezaar ki...
 
[ Heroine is getting ready to come ]

Lina: Sajna hai mujhe sajna ke liye...

[6 o'clock]

Popat: Aja shaam hone ayee..

Lina: Tum ne pukara aur ham chale ayey..

Popat: Huzoor atey-atey bahut der kar...

Lina: O mere raja, khafa na hona, der se ayee
      Majboori thi lekin maine vada to nibhaya

Popat: Tum aa gaye ho, noor aa gaya hai...

[Fundoo "sexy" weather. Coolish, a breeze blowing...]

Lina: Mausam mausam, ye lovely mausam

Popat: Hai hai ye majboori, ye mausam aur ye doori

[Lina, the epitome of the shy Indian woman, is still being coy.]

Popat: Roop tera mastana, Pyar mera diwana,
       Bhool kahin hamse na ho jaye

[Well, to make a long story short, Lina reaches hom late,
her mother forces her to tell where she has been. Next day:]

Lina: Mammi ne meri, tumhe chai pe bulaya hai

Popat: Panchchi akela dekh ke, jal bichchaya hai

[Nevertheless, Popat aquiesces.]

[Oh no.... the mother is a Lalita-Pawar-look-alike and you know
what that means. She wants P to leave her rich daughter alone,
he is far below her in status, and there are other guys. Tells
him that L does not love him but was just flirting. L is
meanwhile threatened with the consequences her actions will have
on her khandaani father's "nazuk" health and does not respond to P's
pleas.]

Popat: Meri bheegi-2 si palkon pe reh gaye, jaise mere sapne bikharke
       Jale man tera bhi kisi ke milan ko, anamika, too bhi tarse

[P, crestfallen, heart-broken, devoid of all illusions, leaves with
a heavy heart and step.]

P: Chandi ke diwar na todi, pyar bhara dil tod diya,
   ik dhanwan kee beti ne nirdhan ka daman chchod diya

[P's friends try to convince him that there are other greener pastures,
 but P has become a cynic.]

P: Ye duniya agar mil bhee jaye to kya hai

[P decides to leave B'bay, the "hadson ka shahar," and go travel the
Ganga route.]

Background1: O manjhi re......

Background2: Yahan kaun hai tera, musafir, jayega kahan

----------------------------------------------------------

Ab aage kya hoga? Will 

1] Popat die?
2] Lina die?
3] both Lina and Popat die, a la "Ek duje ke liye/QSQT?"

or 
4] does Popat take GRE, gets MS in CS in US, becomes a green card holder,
   and proposes again?


Phir Popat ka kya hua? Kya amiri ne for gharibi ko maat de dee?
Kya sachai haar gayee banawat ke usulon se?

In sub sawalon ka jawab aap logon ke hath me hee hai... yadee aap
chahein to Popat ko Lina mil jayegi, aur agar aap ko Fatafat se
hamdardi hai, to Lina ko woh le jayega (he was the silent admirer
all the while of course). Aap chahein to is story ko apni pasand se
aage bada sakte hain.

[Ob. translation: What happened to Popat? Did he become a lawyer
and thus rich? Did good finally prevail over evil? You can answer
all these questions y'self: just complete the story and give it
your favourite ending - you can marry Lina y'self if you so desire,
but beware : Popat can be a bloodthirsty guy if he wants to - he is a
filmi Hero after all :-)

BTW, agar koi is kahani par fillum banana chahe to copyright ka
keemat hai $4.20 :-)

Aapke hee,

Prince, Jasjit
