Prince Sharyar VS Prince khuram is actually Nur Jahan vs
her brother Asaf khan that whose son in law would be the next sovereign,’
minister smiled and left the diwan.
Just then a fort mistress ran to Nur Jahan, ‘someone has
poisoned ladli begum.’
‘What how is she now?’
‘She and baby are out of danger now but this poison may affect
her skin, she may have lifetime painful scars on her body,’ fort lady doctor
seemed worried.
‘I’m sure cradling the snake in my sleeves,’ she thought
deep.
‘Irravati, are you mad? Nur Jahan made me in charge of
investigation committee to see who has poisoned Ladli Begum,’ Murad stopped her
in way.
‘And I’m sure, you won’t tell anyone,’ she looked in his
eyes.
‘Why are you doing all this? Why do you want to kill
Ladli?’
‘Why do you want to save me?’
‘Because…,’ his voice stuck in his throat.
‘Because you love me and don’t want to lose me. just like
that I love prince Sharyar and can't see ladli begum near him?’ she got serious.
‘What are you talking about? Look stop thinking about
Sharyar. He has chosen his way,’ he turned his eyes of her.
‘Could you abandoned me even knowing that I m interested
in prince Sharyar not in you?’ she came in front of him.
‘I just… respect…love…Irravati one day or other Nur Jahan
will know about it. Forget about Sharyar. I’m not king or prince but I promise
to keep you as queen of my heart,’ Murad couldn’t control his emotions anymore.
‘I told you I damn care of anyone. I’m sorry Murad. You
can give my name to anyone but I’ll continue my fight,’ Irravati disappointed
him again.
Ladli begum gave birth to daughter. Just then Jahangir
was taken to Kashmir as prescribed by royal doctors. Murad had to go with
Jahangir.
‘I’ve bought these for you,’ he met Irravati after long
time.
‘They were your depositary with me,’ he took out
beautiful gold ear rings from red pouch.
‘I appreciate your feelings Murad but I want to rule this
world, this fort at lahore is only mine. One day prince would turn towards me. It’s my dream and this dream is my life.’
‘I’ll always be there to save your dream,’ Murad left for
Kashmir with Jahangir, whose health was falling every second.
‘I’m very sad to announce the news of death of King
Jahangir near Kashmir. Prince Sharyar will heir his throne and Lahore will be
capital of Mughal Empire from now,’ Nur Jahan very swiftly planed the switching
of crown from Jahangir to her son in law Sharyar.
‘Arrest my brother prince khuram and his allies from
Agra,’ prince Sharyar gave his first order.
Everything changed in days. Murad came back with Jahangir’s
dead body and buried him near Ravi River with royal protocol.
A tug of war started among the prince. Prince Khuram saved
his imprisonment with the help of his father in law Asaf khan and Gias
din. Both Princes had to meet now in the
battle field for the throne.
‘Where is Irravati? Murad looked every corner of Lahore
fort and asked everyone but no one bothered about her misplacement when one day
he found one ear ring attached with wooden window.

‘Murad we had to leave for combat with prince khuram, if
I lose you promise me to take care of my family.’ Prince Sharyar and Murad were
riding horses while examining war preparations.
‘Alam panah, we’ll turn victorious,’ Murad checked his
sword.
‘Murad, Irravati is dead,’ Sharyar blasted on his nerves
that sword fell down from his hands.
‘Alam panah,’ Murad gazed at him.
‘I’m sorry that I couldn’t save your love in your
absence. It was not difficult for me to play with emotions of any kaneez of this
fort but how could I be disloyal to my best friend?’ prince Sharyar surprised
him.
‘Nur Jahan found her guilty during investigation and
until I could do anything she buried her alive somewhere in castle. I even
don’t know her burial place,’ Sharyar continued.
‘When we’ve to leave for combat against prince khuram,’
the air at Hazoori Bagh stopped to enhance the suffocation for Murad.
Prince Sharyar lost the battle and was imprisoned and
then killed by prince khuram. Prince Khuram took over the throne as title of
Shah Jahan at Agra.
Murad came back to Lahore fort and reside there with Nur
Jahan and Ladli begum till their death as he promised Sharyar.
After that people
around off and on saw a guide roaming around the fort and telling the stories
of this fort but no one knew about his ware bouts,’ Saadun finished the story.
Murad found himself in basement against Saadun. When
tourists left, he didn’t remember anything.
‘You also died here one day but your soul is still
looking for Irravati,’ he continued.
‘I regret that I couldn’t save her life. I looked for her
everywhere and I’m still looking for her.’
‘How could you save anyone when one itself loves to play
with death,’ Irravati entered the room.
‘I always ran from you even after when my soul stuck to these
walls. I don’t know but now I’m tired of wandering in barren rooms. Please take
me out of here,’ she offered her hand towards him.
Murad’s eyes sparkled with joy as his quest was about to
end now. He held her leisurely. Just then Saadun left his place. Murad found
Irravati’s another ear ring from there. Irravati smiled and held her head on
Murad’s shoulder. Their souls flown to sky but they didn’t forget to place
Saadun near Jahangir’s tomb. Now Saadun could see his love River Ravi flowing
near Jahangir and Nur Jahan’s tomb and tell the story of Irravati and Murad to
visitors over there as guide.
