THROUGH THE TEST OF FIERY FIRES

The blazing red fires may destroy all it touches in its mad fiery spree
But it cannot burn away another flame which is the Ustaad in me
I have been the shield of you my master, my former master should i say
Blasting every danger that sought you and every harm that came your way


No worldly interests and temptations have ever weakened my loyalty to you
Yet none of my years of devotion seem estimable in your shaded view
For an offence that was trifle and harmless you have put me through the fires of hell
When greater faults of others have been ignored by you graver crimes as well

For my steadfast and earnest allegience to you, for considering you my hero and my guide
You have chosen to magnify my modest mistakes all to satiate your ego and pride
Put me through the fires of humiliation letting the evil devils mock at me
You whom i considered dearest, my friend, my brother, my closest family

I withstood all hoping you would soften when the clouds of misunderstandings cleared
But when i saw the fate of my dear ones, my every shred of forbearance disappeared
You threatened to harm my boys, subject my lady to bear words of disgrace
Thus snapped the chord that fastened me to you, my faith you have erased

I know that the betrayers around you stand on your side for reasons of their own
You will be lonely in your high place with vultures hovering around your throne
But none of that is my worry now for my loyalty to you stands dented deep
My love my boys and my people will be my only concern till i sleep


I shall use every speck of my resourcefullness and save them all from this ordeal
I'll show the devils that the fires cant harm me, Ustaad is made of hardrock steel
I'll turn the tables on those very wicked men make each one of them repay
And you will realise what you have gained and what you hsve lost some day

They have dared to challenge the Ustaad, i'll ensure that they repent their deed
Even from the jaws of grim failure the Ustaad and his boys can succeed
I will use every trick and every cunning and against you too if the need be
I will burn them all with the very fire they ignited to harm my dear ones and me


Sandy...This is just Exemplary...Awesome...it stirred up a well of emotions in me...My chest swelling up in Pride for Khan Sahib...

You have not seen the last of me I assure you my Huzoor, I have bowed and bend,
The hard rock steel in me was swayed after a decade with moist eyes to a bitter end!
You have seen me crumble and fall in public and yet you were nonchalant all the way,
I burned to ashes by the infernos in me but the Phoenix will rise within me in dismay!


A promise to you my Huzoor, my once-upon-a-time Master, brother, friend and family,
I will make sure you know who your allies and foes are even if it pains you, but so it be!
You will be standing all alone at the end realizing what a well-wisher you have lost in me,
But it will be too late since I will move away from the loyalty and bondage I had - all free!


My loyalty and love will be for my Begum and for my Men who stood by me in high and low,
To them, I didn't have to prove my loyalty nor do I need to tell them of my love - they Know!
For them, I am their Sahib, their Ustaad, and I will remain so, tending and protecting them,
But what will you do Huzoor? Sitting on the throne with no dear ones but your precious diadem!





Subhanallah Sandy Begum!! 👏 Bravo!! 👍🏼

Though in fine priint but I can still see you are drooling from the other side but apparently someone here is openly line marrowing crossing all lines and boundaries sharing falooda with him!! Not only I see Badmash Salisa, but Besharam Coujjinsa and Bewaafa Biwisa!! 😡🤣


His profile, features, bone structure, the auburn rough hair, the stylish beard, those deadly looming eyebrows, the threatening eyes, those well defined determined lips, 😳 the chiselled pointy proud nose, that fair complexion, that faulaadi chest, those muscled arms defying the manacles on them, the royal stance which will put the supreme royalty to shame...I can't go further and the rest I will keep to myself! Can't tell, won't tell! 🤣 For me to know and you all to guess! 😉😆

Lana did you manage to listen to Jag Ghoomeya? It's also got very traditional folklorish instrumentals to it that suits the era!

Periyamma... how have you been the past couple of days 🤗


Nahi re, weekend mein sunoongi! Right now a pair of grim eyes with a set mouth is haunting me! 😉

First of all, this is what I meant when I said 'pouncing'! Azeez very coyly but with a naughty look said how he is so often pounced upon and I laughed but now I see what he means! 😉😆 Okay Sahibas, time to close our eyes and ears! 🤣 The curtain just dropped for 'Tauba, tauba' scenes! 😆



And Rosejaan, even I feel the smugness and pride in your post about Mirza Sahib's helping Azeez in cracking AMK's message! 😉 And even your wink says so!! 😆 All the respective others are all busy fending for their other halves be it Rosejaan, Mirchi Begum or Bond Begum! 😆 Lage raho Begum Sahibas! 👍🏼


Sandy if Lashy had got Azeez's hand chopped can you imagine what will happen? One fine morning Lashy gets up in the morning, goes about doing her chores, school run, matargasti here and then suddenly 'ding dong', the doorbell rings! She opens the door only to find a young college girl in 'Ma Kali' avatar with an axe in her hand saying 'Yeh haath mujhe de de Lashy di'!! 🤣 This nightmare kept Lashy awake many a nights trembling and shivering in fear!! So not even in her nightmare, she would do that! 🤣


Lashy, if Rosejaan is ravenous and I am parched then Kuki has both in a bountiful quantity and that is why we have 'nimbupani' to quench her thirst and the sweets in Halwa shop on the ladder top custom made for her to keep her from being ravenous! 😉🤣
And Lashy, who are you sneaking away with? 😡 Oh forgot, sneaking away with Mr. Lashy to USA!! 🤣

Why are you 'roying' here Lashy?? 🤔 Is your mighty pen being aberrant here and not heeding to our requests? 😭 I will send FR to your mighty pen, please tell it that I can't bear to see those 50 lashes on my AMK! _/\_ If it does then as a punishment it will have to write 50 more chapters! 😉😆 If it reads this then I am sure it will adhere to my request! 😆

Waise you read my response... I wanted to hear your views on that one particular scene alone!



Lashy, what can I write about it! It was your masterstroke, the highlight of the chapter! When I read C50 and saw Heera on her knees I was enraged, felt disgraced and dishonored on her behalf, felt more fury towards the Shehzade! It was painful for sure!

But when I read about AMK falling on his knees it took the ground off of my feet too! I saw this huge strong, steady, sturdy mountain collapse and crumble right in front of my eyes! The one who provided shelter to so many, provided shade to the valley and kept it cool, protected the valley from outside attack...and with its fall...poof...all was gone! 😒 It was so painful that it brought tears to my eyes! The stalwart of courage, the tower of strength, the solid wall of confidence toppled in front of my eyes and along with that my heart too went into pieces! 😭

Lashy I could see in front of my eyes how he fell, the stance, the low hung head, drooping shoulders, tousled hair covering his face and acted as the veil for the misty eyes, how he felt so lifeless and just plopped on one knee slowly with a dejected body language and then after a pause the other knee plunked down as well in a thud with rattling of the chains! 😭 You might have pictured it differently but this is what I saw in my mind! There was a sense of loss I felt, a tragic loss, the dependence factor was gone, all hopes were gone! I just saw a strong, steadfast, stout person collapsing in front of my eyes in helplessness, in hopelessness, in heartbreak, in heartache...bowing down to save his love, save his near and dear ones, save himself, thus giving himself up in submission to captivity and death! 😭😭😭 It was so tragic, so moving! 😭

The man who was a rock for everyone is now at the mercy of an eccentric tyrant who to appease his jealous ego is enjoying the plight of his so-called brother! A punishment so huge, so unfair, so undeserving for a mere offense when others committing graver crimes were roaming around scotfree and scheming away! 😡 I wonder what would be Huzoor's stand if anything like Durga happened to one of his family member and that too by a Hindu general! Would he have kept quiet? Would he have not sought for justice? Would he have not taken it on his hands to punish the culprit? But then again rules are different on the other side of the justice line! 🤔

The man who never shed a tear in a decade had moist eyes and is unable to look up in shame, derision, guilt and pain! Shame for unable to save his near and dear ones, derision out of the mockery of the hyenas there who insinuated a vile suggestion to the most sacred relationship of his life, in guilt because he couldn't keep his word to his Begum to avenge her sister's death and in pain because the person who he looked up to as his mentor, role model, brother has deserted him today and is not only enjoying his fall but is the sole and whole cause of it! His Huzoor not only is supporting the backstabbers but is stabbing AMK's back himself! 😭 It was an epitome of desperation! 😭

The silver lining in this dark cloud was the inspiration he had from within to stand back up again, to strike back with full force and intelligence and vengeance! Like a true Phoenix, he rose from the ashes within himself, those ashes where he got immolated some moments ago in sheer dismay and distress! Before we were reading about how Paradise was Lost and finally we regained our Paradise! The Fall and Rise of Khan Sahib! Literally, He 'rose' in love! 👏

And he had his soulmate next to him giving silent support and later verbally proffered her repartee to support her Sahib in front of the Shehzade to bring more weight to AMK's accusation! True soulmates, made for each other! 👍🏼


Kudos to you Lashy for penning this scene so beautifully in such a touching manner where the readers too will read with moist eyes and damp cheeks! 👏 Loved it, felt it, embraced it! I was moved, was touched, was pained, was in tears!

Utakar humko gehre dard se phaili hai ummeed ki raunak
Dil shikastgi ki andheron se ute hain ustaad naye shaan se
Todkar har zanjeer ko, bhar di hamare dil ko armaanon se!

Shukriya Sahiba! For giving us an excellent and exquisite chapter that Exceeded expectations.👏





Another masterpiece Sandy! 👏 Subhanallah! 👍🏼

Aap ke behtereen likhai ne hum sab padnewalon ke dil ko lubhaye 'Subhanallah' se!
