Parizaad Episode 20 | Eng Subtitle | Presented By ITEL Mobile, NISA Cosmetics & Al-Jalil | HUM TV

So, who’s the lucky one?

The one who got it or the one who lost it?

Of course, none of them…

The one who got it, didn’t know how to value it…

and the one that didn’t get it,

lost himself trying to find it….

Sir?

Madame Mahpara’s chauffeur has an address.

Note that down.

We’ll be going there in a little while.

Okay Sir.

Cancel all my meetings for the day.

Greetings Sir.

Greetings.

What can we do for you…want your car serviced, oil changed or

do you just want us to make her shine?

We’ll even do the wiring and a compound polish for you Sir!

Just ask your Sir to come outside.

Why Sir?

I’ve heard that you’re into scamming?

We do no such thing Sir!

I’ve heard that you all spoil peoples cars and then charge them double for it?

Who told you this?

We do no such thing Sir!

You heard wrong!

If we were doing anything wrong, we’d be the ones sitting in this car instead of you.

Should I go in myself?

Wait!

You think you can grab my hand!

You just two minute!

I’ll just show you!

He’s the one Sir.

This is the guy.

Yes Sir, what’s the problem?

What is this Kallu Ustad, is this a garage or a den of fraud?

Whats with this thing you have going on here defrauding people?

Be careful Sir, Kallu Ustad has never defrauded anyone his whole life!

I know that Kallu Ustad’s never defrauded anyone?

Otherwise he would have at least changed this ancient radio of his with the black money.

...It emits more noise than songs now.

Parizaad!

Parizaad!

You unfaithful boy!

You traitor! You forgot your Kallu Ustad!

How could I forget you?

What’s with you sneaking off quietly from there and hiding out here.

You should have at least left your contact with someone.

You don’t know where all I’ve searched for you.

Its a long story my dear… I’ll tell you about it.

Janu had told me that our Parizaad has become a big businessman.

But where have you been?

Have you met Janu?

That ones become a total henpecked husband!

He’s tied to his wife’s apron strings.

Doesn’t he meet you?

He comes for a fleeting visit every three to four months…

anyways forget about this and tell me about yourself.

Where have you been this whole while?

My story’s also rather long Ustad.

Get us a large kettle of strong milk tea.

Oh,

hey boy!

Yes Sir?

Go to the shop in the front and tell them to brew us a strong milk tea.

I’ll brew it myself Sir!

I made a mistake.

Please forgive me buddy.

Just don’t put any poison in it.

Come in… In the name of God… come inside.

You’ve now heard my story Sir,

but you never told me your whole story.

What do I tell you, my prince.

We were forced to vacate that place by the Municipality people.

They said that the land was owned by someone else.

But my work wasn’t doing so well out there anyways.

We learnt how to work on open engines from our teachers.

I just don’t get the kind of cars that are coming in now.

Seems my time has passed.

Why do you say this, Sir.

I’m not worried about myself….

but I’m worried about my workers, Parizad.

I thought let me go try and set up a business in the big city.

It would maybe give these damn fools a chance to learn something out here!

Hmm…

So, how’s the work going for you now?

These guys are really working hard.

Anyways you tell me about yourself.

How does it feel to be rich?

I hear one’s whole attitude changes.

We’ll have to find another way…

something by which we can get the job done without hurting his self-respect.

Anyways, whatever the case I want to see Kallu Sir’s garage up to date by the end of the month.

It’ll be done Sir.

...But Sir…

if you don’t mind, I’d like to say something.

I’m your well-wisher

and it’s also my duty so -

Why are you trying to prolong the discussion, just come straight to the point.

Sir…

one earns money….with great difficulty.

From childhood, one goes into adulthood…

And from there one reaches one’s old age…

in the struggle of making more money.

But you,

the way you spend money,

your extravagant generosity…

I don’t know why but I feel as if this treasure trove will…before time -

You may have more experience than me, Kamali…

but you still don’t know how to spend.

The first thing a person must learn when he earns is to learn to spend.

...And these doubts you have, they’re baseless.

I learnt one thing when I entered this world of money.

Money attracts money.

You’re right Sir.

Uh…

Any orders for me Sir?

You need to oversee all matter to do with Lubna… uh…

I mean Madame Mahpara.

The product should turn out exactly as she wants it.

Don’t worry Sir…

It’ll be done.

Have I your permission to leave Sir?

Yes.

Yes?

Sir, there is a man by the name of Majid to meet you.

The supervisor has stopped him at the gate.

Shall I tell the security to allow him to enter.

Majid?

Yes

He was giving the reference of Pindi.

May you know him from before… like in the past.

Oh right, yes!

Send him in.

Sir?

Greetings.

Greetings brother Majid.

How are you?

Please come…

Have a seat.

Thank you very much.

Are you well?

God has been kind.

How are you?

I’m fine.

I’d like to apologize; I came here without an appointment.

Actually Mr. Mirza told me to -

You’re talking like a stranger, brother Majid.

I’m your very same old neighborhood boy, Parizaad.

So please address me as such.

This is your...

what I mean is…

it’s very generous of you to say this.

but...

Your rank is now a lot higher than us.

There many like me out there… just waiting to serve you…

as your employees….

I just saw that..

Alright let’s forget the past and tell me, what would you like, tea or coffee?

No, no, there’s no need for the formality.

Uh… I know that time is of essence to you so I won’t take up too much of it.

I just needed to speak to you about something important.

Mr. Mirza told me about your job situation.

Oh…

Yes.

I was wondering…

if perhaps, instead of me…

you could give Kanwal a job.

Kanwal,

but…?

Yes,

well, Naheed didn’t want her sister and her father to live on their own

so I thought that I would bring them with me.

So… uh… Kanwal’s a graduate now…

uh… she’s hardworking.

You already know that.

She’ll do whatever work you want her to do and well.

Yes…that’s all well and good…

but will Mr. Mirza agree to this?

What I mean is…

as far as I’m concerned I have no objection to her working here but you too can work here.

...And you need not worry about a vacancy.

Uh…

I already have a job.

I do the night duty there.

to come and work here as well in the mornings would be somewhat difficult.

I thought that perhaps Kanwal could come work here instead… something appropriate.

Yes well… whatever suits you all.

Kindly tell Kanwal to come in from tomorrow.

This would be a real favor to us.

It’s no problem.

Annie ….

Can you hear me?

Ready?

On mark.

1…2…3…

You are live now.

So, listeners…

as promised…

a beautiful composition of words woven into a poem…

for your listening pleasure...

And the poet is…

Parizaad.

While placing my head in your lap…

while staring into kohl darkened eyes

the dreams that I had once dreamed…

For those dreams to be realized…

I waited my whole life.

But my innocent heart…

finally understood…

that some dreams…

have already been realized

For me, to be in your presence...

there can be no bigger dream to be realized or a greater pleasure than this…

Annie!

Well done!

I sent you there to speak about a job for yourself, son!

And you went and spoke about a job for Kanwal!

You know very well that she wants to study for her masters,

that she wants to study further!

Even if Kanwal does do her Masters,

she won’t find a better job than this!

I wonder what lottery this Parizaad won…

Suddenly he became so rich overnight!

Even then…

he hasn’t turned his back on his old neighbors.

Had it been anyone else in his place,

I don’t think that -

Yes! I know! I know!

...He’s done us a huge favor.

But I can’t take just any ordinary job at his office!

He would wait all day outside my house, when he lived in usneighborhood, for me give him my notes…

so, I would solve difficult problems of Algebra for him!

And now you want me to work as an ordinary clerk at his office???

I won’t do it!

Son,

anyone who fights their destiny is fated to get badly hurt!

Oh yes…

I’m the only one who’s ill-fated, right?!

I have to listen to your taunts on a daily basis…

How is it my fault if I can’t find a job worth my capabilities?!

Should I start robbing?!

Should I rob those standing on the roads?!

Is that what you want?

There’s a limit to everything!

Wait, listen to me Majid!

Daddy.

I’ll speak to Majid.

He’s become quite irritable because of his inability to find a job.

But Kanwal, working?

Please don’t worry, daddy.

I’m ready to do the job.

And besides Masters can be done privately as well.

If my working here will improve the circumstances of this house and us…

then I have no objection

Sir, I’ve explained the job to Miss. Kanwal.

Good.

Any worries, any kind of tension?

Thank you very much.

Thank you Sir.

Have a seat.

Sir, I don’t think I’m qualified for this job.

No one here is as qualified as they should be.

One comes incomplete and leaves incomplete.

Don’t worry, you’ll eventually learn the work.

Sir, I know that you only gave this job to help my family and -

No such thing.

We needed a good assistant.

So please don’t worry about it unnecessarily.

And you don’t need to address me as Sir and all, you can address me by my name.

No Sir.

I know that you’re a very magnanimous person..

but please allow me to maintain this protocol at least while at work.

I don’t want the decorum of the office to in any way get spoilt because of me.

Alright fine.

Do what you think is best.

The girl will train you…

and show you where you need to sit.

If you need anything let her know without any hesitation.

Thank you very much Sir.

And I will try my level best to learn the work at the soonest, Sir…

and that there’s no problem for anyone because of me.

Fine.

If I may leave now.

Good morning Mr. Shehbaz.

First of all, …

you went out of your way to come here,

so I would like to thank you for that.

Please have a seat.

The only time we will sit …

is when you accept our offer.

Your offer is unacceptable to me.

Any business that my boss,

the late Mr. Behroze, never took part in…

how can I become a part of it?

I do the most business in this area…

Unfortunately…

this particular part of the city is located around the jurisdiction of your factories.

So even though you don’t want to, you will still have to support

You will have to back us.

I will neither get involved in this despicable and illegal trade of drugs and fake medicines

and nor will…

anyone in my area be allowed to take part in this illegal trade by me.

Is this your final decision?

You had better think this through carefully.

We’ve suffered massive losses before as well because of your late boss, Mr. Behroze Karim.

...And no one is going to stop us now after his death.

That is something that only time will decide.

At present you are here at my place in my area as my guest…

so, I will not give you the answer that you actually deserve…

and you won’t be provided this convenience again and again.

A job that was never done during my boss’s lifetime, how can I do it in my lifetime…

no matter the losses to myself.

...And I would like for all of you …

to bear this in mind and never forget it.

We will meet again.

I’ll be waiting.

Learn all of this!

Is that understood?!

So…

how was the office?

Oh gosh sister, what do I tell you!

It’s like a whole new city in one grand building!

Really?

And do you know,

it would take one at least an hour to get from one section to another…

were it not for the huge elevators!

What all do I tell you sister…

they don’t just have one or two but three restaurants for their staff!

Brother Parizaad has like set up a kind of empire of sorts out there.

Greetings.

Greetings.

Was that the office car that came to drop you?

Yes,

brother Majid… actually no office van comes to our area…

so the transport officer specially arranged the car for me.

Especially for you?

Why?

I don’t know… maybe brother Parizad told him to.

...And do you know something,

I address him as ‘Sir’ at the office.

Okay so sister, I’m really feeling hungry!

Make something delicious to eat along with the tea.

Alright I’ll just make it.

There’s nothing wrong with her.

She got a scolding because she wasn’t studying.

I’ll just get it.

Oh hey, wait!

I forgot to tell you!

...I got some advance in salary.

They said that they would minus it from my salary in installments.

So, keep this.

Come let’s go.

First off you don’t study and then to top it all you start crying in front of your aunt!

Take her inside Kanwal.

Sit straight otherwise you’ll fall.

This…

old neighbor of yours…

isn’t he showing a little too much favoritism to your younger sister?

What do you mean by that?

What I mean is that…

it’s only the first day

and already there’s a ‘Special’ pick and drop?

She hasn’t even done any work as yet and already they’ve handed her the salary?

So much favoritism?

First of all, my sister never even wanted to take on this job!

You’re the one who got her this job in place of yourself!

And then not only is she doing this job for the sake of our house,

she’s also now living here and can’t go back home!

...And even then, you’re being suspicious of her!

I’m not being suspicious of anyone

nor am I accusing anyone!

All I’m saying is that you should keep an eye on your younger sister!

And this…

beggar of yesteryear's Parizaad,

he didn’t just become such a major businessman overnight!

We don’t want to regret this tomorrow you know.

Come on.

Let’s just regret it.

We are all anyways regretting it.

Even so Sir,

I would still advice you to stay as far away from them as possible… be careful how you tread.

Living in a river full of crocodiles and stepping on them…

isn’t a good thing Sir.

I have no enmity with anyone Kamali.

But if they want to show enmity to me then they will always find me ready.

Don’t worry yourself over such minor issues.

Okay so…

that grant for the University’s event...

did you drop off the cheque?

Yes Sir,

I went there myself.

But Sir, they were insisting…

that you should also attend the event as their chief guest.

Oh, and another thing Sir,

I met an old professor of yours out there.

He’s come here after having been transferred from his old University.

Who?

I met him in the Vice Chairman’s room… uh…

what was his name…?

...Oh yes, it was Mr. Mukhtar!

Mr. Mukhtar.

He was bent upon coming back with me Sir.

I put him off coming with me with great difficulty.

He’s requested ..

that you should attend the University event.

Okay…

You should have made up some excuse, Kamali.

You know how I avoid going to places with crowds.

Sir, I really tried to dissuade him but the aged gentleman,

he got very upset and he said, tell Parizaad…

...that if he doesn’t come…

I will turn up at his office

Mr. Mukhtar is a man who does what he says.

He might just turn up.

Kamali….

You’ve really put me in a spot,

What time is the event?

Whatever I’ve learnt,

I’ve learnt from one of an institution like these.

Many of my memories are associated with my time at University.

And I am very grateful and it is a great honor for me..

to be invited here by my professor.

So, before I leave -

You can’t leave without reciting one of your poems for us!

Yes, you cannot leave!

I’ve left writing poems.

It wasn’t really poetry… they were just some incomplete… broken words.

I’ll recite one of my incomplete poems.

You once said…

go back

There was once a time when you said, ‘Go back’

That love is a right…

the right of beautiful souls

...The right of handsome men

...Of those of lovely form

...Of the angels of heaven

But with none of these qualities

I am a common man..

...so I’ve come back

But I could not say…

that there are those that were ruined

because of their lack of beauty

And then there are those with hearts like Parizaad’s

When the heart breaks then

even the heavens shiver in fear

If love becomes disenchanted

then it leads to chaos

Wow! Oh wow! Again!

If love becomes disenchanted then it leads to chaos

So, look at this my love…

your city has become like the jungle

That love of which you were once so proud

even that love has become conditional…

Your beauty is…

but an illusion...

And then what is what is pleasing

and what is displeasing

And then what is what is pleasing

and what is displeasing

Every face is wearing a veil…

behind every veil there is a face that is quite bare

Thank you very much for your respect and your love.

Be happy, stay blessed..

Goodbye.

Parizaad Sir!

Parizaad Sir, my name is Quratulain!

I do a show as RJ Annie on FM radio!

I’m a huge fan of yours!

Forget being a huge fan, I’m your biggest fan in the world!

...I…

I want to interview you!

I want some of your time Parizaad Sir… please!

Parizaad Sir I want to interview you!

Please give me some of your time!

Please, please, please!

Wow Sir, wow!

You were amazing.

I am now totally impressed by you.

I never knew…

that you had such an excellent poet hidden inside you.

I killed that poet a long time ago.

Besides it isn’t enough for a person to just be a poet in this society.

One has to sometimes cross many limits in order to prove oneself.

You’re right about that Sir.

Oh, and yes Sir, I just remembered something.

Remember that girl we met…

she was a presenter at some radio station.

She was really insisting on getting your number so I gave her your office number…

I didn’t give her your personal number.

Why?

Sir she wants to do some interview of you.

The person she wants to interview is buried within the four walls of some such University.

Tell her to find him somewhere over there.

Greetings

Kanwal,

you haven’t gone home as yet?

Uh Sir… I’m waiting for the staff car.

Its stuck up in some traffic jam.

The driver called to tell me.

But we don’t have just one car in the office.

Why don’t you do one thing…

in fact, …

just come with me…

I’ll drop you home.

There’s no need for this formality, Sir.

Please don’t worry, I’ll go.

Where’s the formality in this?

Come along.

Please come inside Sir.

Daddy will be very happy to see you.

Not today,

perhaps another time.

But if daddy finds out that I returned you from the door …

I will get scolded for nothing.

Sir you could take out at least a little bit of time for a cup of tea…

please, it’s my request.

I promise I won’t take too much of your time.

Sir, please come.

Come in Sir… please come.

Sister!

Come see who I’ve brought with me sister!

Greetings.

Greetings.

You…

Greetings.

Greetings.

Please have a seat Sir and I’ll go inform daddy

No…

Majid’s taken daddy to a pharmacy nearby as he was sick…

I mean he wasn’t feeling well.

Sorry.

Let me go and quickly make you a cup of tea , Sir.

Yes.

I know your time’s precious.

I need to…

speak to you about something important.

What was that?

I haven’t even asked you to sit and…

Oh hey, you could have at least put uncle’s glasses -

Greetings Majid.

Greetings.

You should have at least given us his glasses.

You are just too much…

Greetings Majid.

Uh…

Greetings.

Look …

Mr. Parizaad is here.

Yes, I can see that.

How did you forget your way to our house today?

I remember the roads…

it’s just that I sometimes hesitate going past an area again.

Mr. Parizaad…

came to drop Kanwal…

its why he came.

They talk so much!

They talk so very much that I got tired just standing there.

Greetings Mr. Mirza.

Parizaad….

Bless you… God be praised.

You have a long life.

It was only today that I was asking Kanwal about you.

Come.

Come and sit son… come.

Give that to me daddy.

I need to leave now as I have a lot of unfinished work waiting for me.

Thank you very much Sir.

You really went out of your way for me today.

There’s no need to thank me.

Majid, if you have some time, please come by the office.

Yes, yes…

of course…

I’ll stop by.

Alright then Mr. Mirza…

please remember me in your prayers.

Bless you son.

Kanwal, child go…

and see our guest off.

No, no, there’s no need for such formality.

As I told you earlier, I’m still the old Parizaad for you.

I feel embarrassed when you say this.

That’s your kindness son…

otherwise, we’re unworthy of it.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

You…!

You’re leaving so soon?

The thing is that I have a lot of work that still needs to be done…

so, I need to go.

I’d actually gone to put the girls to bed.

They make a real ruckus when guests come over.

Alright.

You take care now.

Does anyone ever even take care of themselves?

The only way one is taken care of, is when there is someone to take care of one.

I’d heard…

that when beauty belongs to one, it loses its attraction.

Love isn’t a game for those who know not how to care.

Only one who is faithful, can retain it.

Those that think love to be a game…

...are the ones that lose.

...Because love isn’t a game.

Oye hey Naheed,

where have you gotten to?!

May I…

may I meet you outside one day?

I really need to speak to you about something important!

But -

Please I’ll send the time, address and everything through Kanwal!

Just please don’t refuse.

I’ll await your answer.

I’m coming!

is the only thing that wins you any respect out here.

And money is the world’s biggest shrine.

It’s the what makes you the strongest!

That same society that is rejecting you today …

will woo you tomorrow.

It will bend before you.

All you need to know…

is how to make it bend.

May I… may I meet you outside one day?

I really need to speak to you about something important!
