Malika Pukhraj's iconic rendition of Hafeez Jalandhari's urdu nazm ‘Abhi Toh Main Jawaan Hun’ made them both legends in Indian sub-continent.

Lyrics explained.

Retold Arabian Nights Tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 01.

Will Alibaba’s fearful mind risk danger?

Fear clouds opportunities, time & reflection reveal them.

Retold Arabian Nights Tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 02.

Alibaba stole from thieves. Is stealing from thieves wrong?

Beliefs are dangerous, yet useful. Why?

Retold Arabian Nights Tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 03.

Qasim's clever wife stumbles upon Alibaba's secret. This strains their relationship.

Trust once lost, is not easily regained.

Retold Arabian Nights Tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 04

Qasim gets to the treasure, but can he get it out?

Stressed minds make mistakes. Mistakes can be fatal.

Retold Arabian Nights Tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 05

With slave-girl Marjina, Alibaba plans full Islamic burial rites for Qasim, but how to avoid suspicion?

Retold Arabian Nights Tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 06

Marjina convinces the Haqeem that Qasim is very sick & then Mustafa to go blindfolded to sew the corpse.

Retold Arabian Nights Tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 07.

Alibaba observes Qasim's full mourning rituals. But why wash a dead body if you bury or burn it anyway?

Retold Arabian Nights Tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 08

With mutual distrust growing, thieves widen their search and discover Mustafa.

He tells a noteworthy tale...

Retold Arabian Nights Tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 09

The blindfolded Mustafa leads the thief to Alibaba's house.

The home is marked, but Marjina foils the ID.

Retold Arabian Nights Tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 10

Another bandit marks Alibaba’s house but Marjina is vigilant.

Rosh discusses Dozakh, Jannat, Life, death...

Retold Arabian Nights Tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 11

Captain of the thieves identifies Alibaba’s house & returns to hatch a deadly plan.

Death comes knocking...

Retold Arabian Nights Tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 12

Discovering thieves hidden in oil barrels frightens Marjina to death.

Could one literally die from fear?

Retold Arabian Nights Tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 13

What could Marjina do to save Alibaba's household?

Throw boiling water on hidden bandits? Burn barrels?

Retold Arabian Nights Tale: Ali Baba and 40 Thieves 17

Marjina executes her daring plan.

Hosh explains how burns can kill or affect health and how to treat them.

Retold Arabian Nights tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 18

Alibaba went to the Hammam completely unaware of the silent executioner working stealthily in his house.

Retold Arabian Nights tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 19

Alibaba gratefully gifts Marjina her freedom, and sets about disposing the 37 corpses quickly & quietly.

Retold Arabian Nights tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 21

Thirst for vengeance rejuvenates the Captain.

He rides back to the city to discover more about his enemy

Retold Arabian Nights tale: Ali Baba And 40 Thieves 22

Impostor Khwaja Hasan comes to Alibaba's party but won't eat their salt.

Like Marjina, Josh wonders why?

It is our brain that translates words to create meaningful images.

To do this, it needs to know both language as well as the context.

Comprehension created from words will be wrong, if their translation or context is wrong.
