Along with that, in the ST, the intimate companionship between Naim, Professor and Ali
on the way to migration, where the professor’s thought became a source of comfort and
peace for Ali and Naim has been eliminated from the TT. In the ST from p: 504 – 526
till the end of the story, professor’s thought regarding the relevance of content and form
to the phenomenon of life itself, and issue of prophetic love, which were a source of
consolation during the painful struggle of migration to mute and shocked Naim have not
been given any place in the TT.
Besides these the TT deviated from the ST at various places. Ayesha’s death has been
introduced in the ST (p:526), where, after Naim’s capture by Sikhs and the professor’s
departure, Ali’s struggle to carry dying Ayesha, along, but he failed in his attempts to
pull her along and finally left her dying. While Ayesha’s death in the TT has occurred in
quite a different situation much before migration on (p:293) in TT. ‘He walked out of the
gate into the night, thinking of Ayesha with out emotion’.

ney, pata nahi kon tha, muj sey kaha tha key Khuda wand Taala ki dunya pur her subha
nai dilkashi aur aazadi le kar taloo hoti hai. Us ne seedha Anees key chehrey par daikha
‘Khuda Hafiz’.
Parliament ki imarat ki barooni seeriyoon pur kharey ho kar us ney aazadi aur mussarat
ka lamba sans liya phir wo muzahereen key
hajoom mein ghus gya.
Rooshan mahal key wasi haal mein kunbe key sabhi afrad they, sewaye Naim key.
In the TT (p:301) Naim has been taken in confidence by Roshan Agha for the decision of
migration:
There was a brief silence broken by Roshan Agha. ‘What do you think, Naim? He
said………Every one looked at Naim, Naim gazed absent mindedly at Azra. I don’t
know he mumbled.
