A long time ago, there was a brave, strong, and aggressive belligerent named Mughal Dostain. He was such intelligent and bold that nobody could shoot him down. His sword was so sharp that it could cut a rock into tiny pieces, and his bow was so tight that the arrow could kill hundreds of people at once. He fought many battles and surmounted back home. His stories got heard everywhere. People wanted to meet him once in life. Though he fought for his ambition, not for fame, his fearlessness made him famous.
He was now getting older and older, and people wanted his generation to have such achievement. But people were perplexed by one of his decisions, he would marry a girl who can defeat him. He was fearless that kings were his servants, and if anyone tended to do something without his permission, he would make a castle of skulls. People were worried that they would never get the girl they wanted. And he would live without a life partner.
To prove people wrong, Allah Almighty send a girl to defeat him. On a summer morning, when the sun was rising, a graceful and ingenious girl visited their tribe. Mughal Dostain always welcomes people to his tribe through fencing ( The art or sport of fighting with swords). Mughal defeated almost all people when it was the girl’s turn. Mughal was very confident. The girl hit Mughal’s blade, and Mughal turned around her neck, and his sword was dancing in the air. Suddenly the girl punched Mughal’s back and hit his sword with a sharp scission and Mughal’s sword broke into pieces. There was a kind of silence as if people had forgotten to breathe. After an hour, people realized that the Mughal Dostain got defeated.
The buzzing sound of the drums brought happy faces everywhere. People were told to call people from the surrounding because the Mughal was getting married. People came from different places to see the brave who defeated Dostain. The ceremony of marriage runs for weeks. People were thrilled that now Mughal’s descendent would fight for them.
His stories got heard everywhere. People wanted to meet him once in life.
Unfortunately, after three months, Mughal Dostain had to leave for a battle with vulgar and tyrant people who theft and kidnapped people to sell them as servants. Mughal, knowing that his wife was pregnant, left behind a precious ring and instructed his wife to give it to their child as a symbol, should the child be born male. And if it is a female baby, sell it and buy everything she needs. Mughal left his tribe with five thousand troopers.
After prolonged hardships, some of his soldiers died because of thirst and hunger, and some became very weak. Mughal himself became sick for a few days. After finishing their preparations, they left for battle. Unfortunately, his whole soldiers died, and he was now a prisoner of them. Mughal was treated very rudely.
On the other hand, his family was worried for him. They waited for him for years. But no news of him. Mughal’s brother-in-law decided that if anyone brought any notice of him, he could get married to his sister. A very dirty-minded person tore a shirt and put some blood on it to show that Mughal was no more. He had accomplished his dirty plan, and now she was marrying that man.
Fortunately, Mughal passed to escape and came back to his tribe after sixteen years. When he entered the tribe, he found that his wife was getting married to another man. He was like a beggar, so nobody recognized him for telling people indirectly that Mughal Dostain was back. He took an instrument like a guitar and started playing it. The sound made people very emotional. They asked him who he was. He again played it and sang to tell people it was Mughal Dostain. He sings shiveringly, “The world has changed a lot, people forgot braves, I am Mughal Dostain, people forgot braves.”
People were delighted again to see Mughal Dostain among them. They killed the person who lied to them about the death of Mughal Dostain. Mughal became healthy again and passed to put his enemies down.
