Story of Jalal Taalib 1

  • 9 years ago
Prince Jalal Taalib of ShahHarounabad wishes to marry princess Tayyaba of Shahristaan but sorceress Hameera wants Jalal for herself. When Jalal refuses her romantic advances she steals Tayyaba's protective three-pearl necklace and traps her in a glass lantern. Jalal travels to Sinbad the sailor's court and pleads for help. Sinbad summons genie Mukhbir who reveals that Hameera has lost the three pearls, that it takes 1 month to find one pearl, and that Tayyaba will die after that time. Desiring revenge, Hameera summons shape-shifter Cheema and ruler of jungle of living dead Asjaar Salatiya to stop Jalal. After shape-shifters Cheema and Leema lose, Asjaar uses her cunning and steals his protective talisman and enchanted weapons. Wandering around the area, Jalal's horse Humsafar pleads fairy princess Farad Jaahbaari for help and she humiliates Hameera at her residence. Back in Shahristaan, a desert-dwelling dervish tries freeing Tayyaba but Hameera cages him too. Resurrected by the lunar moonlight, shape-shifters Cheema and Leema try stealing Jalal's enchanted weapons but horse Humsafar runs away with them.
As Asjaar Salatiya prepares to execute Jalal, Humsafar reunites him with Sinbad's enchanted sword. Jalal destroys the man-eating boar and burns Asjaar Salatiya ending her reign of the living dead.
Far inside a volcano at the edge of fire-city Karnaas Sinbad locates genie Aatish-Fishaani's lair (location of the first pearl). After a gruesome battle, Jalal obliterates the genie and earns the first pearl.
