Saba: At times I cannot believe my good fortune..

How is it that you became mine?

I did not say my prayers regularly like you.

But I began to pray for your well-being.

And God gave you so easily to me.

As if He had made us for each other.

Saba: If dreams were removed from life...

what would be left?

Arfeen: Dreams can be painful

Saba: So can be reality.

Adil: Why do you have to be so angry, Saba?

I have just torn two leaves, not a whole plant!

Arfeen's mother: Is she the only girl in the family

suitable to be your wife?

Arfeen: If I do not marry Saba, I won' t marry at all.

Arfeen's father: Son, you don't make a snake sleep with yourself

even if it is tamed.

Arfeen: Don't you trust me?

Saba: Is there relation of trust between us?

Arfeen: That is what I have come here for..

You will run away if I confess my love.

Adil: So strange! Your parents kept telling everyone

in the family not to marry Saba and you....?

Arfeen: Whom did they stop from proposing to Saba?

Adil: What if I said it was me?

Arfeen: If you found your wife cheating on you.....

would you forgive her?

Shuja: I would, if she regrets it.

Arfeen: I never would, even if she regrets it.

Shuja: And what if Saba does it? You practically worship her.

Then?

Arfeen: Before assuming this you must assume that the sun rises from the West,

rain comes from the ground and stars shine on trees.

Arfeen's mother: Look at your children's shameful ways.

Arfeen: Saba could never do such a thing. I trust her blindly.

Adil: Aunt, are you in your senses? What are you saying?

Arfeen's mother: My son trusted you like a brother

and you stabbed him in the back! How can I be silent?

God! Where are the men of the house?

Let them come to punish these adulterers.

Arfeen's father: Leave me!

Your daughter destroyed my son's life! I will not let her live!

I will kill her!

Saba: I did not do anything, uncle!

Arfeen's father: You did not!

Saba: Uncle, please listen to me.

Don't do this!

Adil's mother: Run away!

Adil: Why should I?

Adil's mother: For my sake, run away!

Saba's mother: Tell her to get away from my sight!

She is dead for us.

Arfeen: Saba could never do such a thing!

Arfeen's father: You are still blinded by her so-called love!

Arfeen's mother: Would your mother lie, son?

Arfeen: Just provide proof that you are innocent..

and my mother sent you to that room with Adil.

Saba: I do not have any proof

...but I have not committed this sin.

Arfeeen: There must be someone who

knows about your innocence.

Saba: God does!

Arfeen: How do I ask God? I am not a Prophet!

Saba: All I can say is that I am innocent...

Your mother has falsely accused me.

Arfeen: My mother is steadfast in prayer, people come to her for blessings.

How could she commit such a sin?

Saba: Neither am I religious, nor do I pray five times a day,

but I have not committed this sin.

Arfeen: You want me to ask God. I will.

I will bring the Holy Quran.

You must put your hand on it and swear that you are innocent.

Saba: If it is the Quran which has to make the decision,..

then your mother must swear on it too.

Tell her to swear that she did not send Adil and me to that room.

And if she does not swear, let her be taken to the courtyard

and be beaten brutally like I was.

Arfeen's mother: I swear on the Holy Quran that I did not

send Adil and Saba to that room.

They went there of their own will.

Arfeen: You won't swear?

Arfeen: I, Arfeen Abbas, in my conscious state and senses

divorce Saba Kareem.

Adil: Just listen to me once!

Saba's mother: What purpose will it serve? Everything is destroyed!

Arfeen: What is left for me here?

Saba's mother: I am sending with you all the things

that I had collected for your wedding.

Saba: I do not want anything from here.

Give everything away in charity as you have done with me!

Saba's mother: That man is not worthy of her.

My beautiful daughter, I took care of her so carefully my whole life.

How will she live with that old man?

Saba's husband: With whom did you have an affair?

Your uncle told me that you were caught red-handed with someone.

That is why his son divorced you.

Get one thing straight!

Do not even think of repeating your sinful ways in my house!!

Arfeen: If a man who has fallen in love once is asked whether

he misses his lover and he says no, he is

the biggest liar of the world.

Arfeen: I am liberal, I am.

But in our society, divorce is still seen as a punishment, not freedom.

Maroosh: So did you divorce Saba to punish her?

Saba's husband: Woman, if you miss your lover so much,

go to him, sleep with him!

You are not the kind of woman who would raise a family.

Arfeen's mother: It is happening because of her.

Don't you see it? I can see the fire.

No, this fire will consume me. It will consume me.

Shuja: I do not consider that man a true man

who is unable to forgive a woman's mistakes.

Arfeen: And if the mistake is a sin?

Shuja: So what? God forgives sins as well as mistakes.

Saba's husband: What are you looking at?

Saba: My fortune.

Saba's husband: Is there any in your palm?

Saba: That is the point. I do not have a fortune.

Arfeen's father: Tell him that if he married a girl outside family

he will not be allowed in this house.

Maroosh: But you married Saba of your own wish

and your parents did not object to that.

Arfeen: Because she was from my family.

Maroosh: I may not be of your family, but I have my own family.
