Jodhaa Akbar 2008
Khwajaji, khwaja…………………………………………. O saint khwaja, khwaja
Khwajaji, khwaja, khwaja ji …………………………..O saint khwaja, khwaja O saint khwaja
Ya gharib nawaz ………………………………………….O patron the poor
Ya moinuddin, ya khwaja ji …………………………..O moinuddin (chisti), O Saint khwaja
Khwaja mere khwaja ……………………………………..O khwaja my khwaja
Dil mein sama ja ………………………………………….Reside in my heart
Shaho ka shah tu …………………………………………..You are the king of kings
Ali ka dulara ………………………………………………….Beloved of Ali
Khwaja mere khwaja dil mein sama ja ……………….. O khwaja my khwaja, Reside in my heart
Beqaso ki taqdeer, tune hai sawari……………………… The destiny of the ones in despair, you have changed for the better
Khwaja mere khwaja…………………………………………… O khwaja my khwaja
Tere darbar mein khwaja ………………………………………At your door, o khwaja
Noor toh hai dekha ………………………………………………Divine light i have seen
Tere darbar mein khwaja………………………………………. At your door, o khwaja
Sar jhuka te hai auliya ………………………………………….. Saints bow their heads
Tu hai Hindalwali khwaja………………………………………….. You are the hindalwali Khwaja
Rutba hai pyara………………………………………………………. Your status is Beautiful
Chahne se tujhko khwaja ji mustafa ko paya………………….By loving you Saint Khwaja, I have found The chosen One ( Prophet Muhammed)
Khwaja mere khwaja………………………………………………………. O khwaja my khwaja
Dil mein sama ja …………………………………………………………… Reside in my heart
Shaho ka shah tu…………………………………………………………….. You are the king of kings
Ali ka dulara ……………………………………………………………………Beloved of Ali
Mere peer ka sadka ……………………………………………………….The alms of my old age
Hai mere peer ka sadka………………………………………………………. You are the charity of my old age
Tera daaman hai thama………………………………………………………. That I have come in your refuge
Khawajaji …………………………………………………………………………….. O saint khwaja
Tali har bala hamari ………………………………………………………. (You) averted All my problems
Chaya hai khumar tera ………………………………………………….. (I) want your cloak
Jitna bhi rashk kare beshak ………………………………………………No matter how much one may envy

Jodhaa Akbar (2008)
Peace be upon you,
Jodhaa Akbar ( 2008 )
I am not, I repeat NOT, a bollywood fan. im the guy who sits in corner making stupid jokes about how stupid the indian bollywood movie is. I HATE everything about bollywood pop culture. Frankly i think is been saturated by American pop culture. For all practical purposes Indians have sold out. All bollywood does is remake old American movies! on top of that they have such a limited genre. Why does every frickin dumbass bollywood movie has to have a love theme? Why is bollywood such a god damn ass kisser? Seriously!
People think about it, The Indo-Pak subcontinent has such a long and rich history, yet they never ever take an interest in the honors that Allah swt has blessed them with.
In recent years though they have gotten better and every once in a while though i stumble across a decent movie. Jodhaa Akbar for example was a great movie. im not sure how accurate its was historically but it was an amazing break from the regurgitated vomit bollywood normally spits out. I hope that they continue with quality material like this.
I loved the movie because the 1st, the sets were vibrant and alive. They took you back in time and created a nostalgia of a long lost paradise on earth. The director clearly put a lot of time and effort into the sets. 2nd the song and dance scenes, which Indians apparently cant live with out, were tasteful, practical, and well incorporated into the storyline. At least they weren’t dancing around the world and changing clothes every two seconds. What the song and dance scenes lacked in ridiculous and flashy it made up in well planned choreography.
Lastly and probably the best thing about this movies would be the story itself. It actually had substance! the characters were so well developed and felt real so wou actually felt drawn in to the story. Jodahh, Akbar and the Mughliya Empire had a huge impact on the subcontinent’s history and politics. Learning something about the subcontinent’s history could help one to understand the diffrent groups, politics, and everything that is going on in the Subcontinent and the world today.
All in all…
