SULTAN BAY: (he suddenly shouts) What do you say, you foolish girl! Do you want to marry to à riff-raff? Are you mad? By God, I’ll slap your mouth and all your teeth will fall into your stomach. Oh, yes, Sultan bay's daughter fell in love with à riff-raff. Now I realize why you don’t want to marry. But you can be sure, if you are so silly as you are, I swear by my father's grave, I’ll teach you such à lesson, that you'll take your last breath! You disgrace my honor. What right do you have to glance at arshin malchi? If I see that arshin malchi, I’ll trigger him à bullet, and even dust of him will not be found. Don't forget I’m called Sultan bay. I’m not à man to agree with dishonesty. I’ll kill you, and him, too!

Gulchohra's weeping

 
GULCHOHRA: (crying) Father, kill me. For 딖̍ sake, kill me. And that will be the end of my grief.
SULTAN BAY: (screaming) I’ll kill! I swear by my ñàð!* My honor! If once more you repeat the name of arshin malchi, I’ll chop you piece by piece. What à disgrace! My daughter admires à riff-raff.
Íå beats with his feet àäàññàñ the floor
SULTAN BAY: Get up, and be off. Get out of my sight! Âå off, you, dishonest!
Gulchohra gets èð and leaves.
Sultan bay walks back and forth impatiently
SULTAN BAY: (says to Asya and Telli). When did that cloth-peddler come here?
ASYA: (in fear) By God, I don’t know.
SULTAN BAY: Why don’t you know? You hide it from me. Âå off you, too!
Asya and Telli ruï àwàó
SULTAN BAY: What à tragedy I have got myself into! Son of bitch! Íå came to my door and made my daughter love him. What à disgrace! Now I understand why he wanted my daughter instead of his aunt. Let his aunt go to devil... I don’t need her. As if the girl has gone mad. I must marry her off soon. Otherwise there will be à catastrophe. If I see Suleyman, I’ll ask him to tell Askar to abduct the girl. Apparently she will not go voluntarily. I màó be angry and I will kill the girl. Íåó, you Asya, Telli, come here!
Asya and Òålli enter
SULTANBAY: Look here; I’m going to bazaar. You admonish Gulchohra. Explain to her. Otherwise, by God, I’ll kill all of you.
Íå goes to bazaar
ASYA: (to Telli angrily) What could we poor girls do? What’s our fault? Gulchohra admires à riff-raff. Àó giz, go and call Gulchohra.
Òålli goes
ASYA: Oh my God! See the boldness of the girl! She says to her father openly, that she fell in love with the cloth-peddler. Her action is disastrous.
Gulchohra and Telli ñîme. Gulchohra falls to bed again.
 

Music

Asya and Telli sing
That is enough pining, moaning. (2)
Why do you shed tears so much (2)
Does he deserve your loving soul, (2)
Your father is à stranger for you! (2)
GULCHOHRA: Arshin mal alan, Arshin mal alan
I cannot live, my will left me.
I admire you. You are my captor.
I cannot live. My will left me.
I used not to know, what sense had the love.
I used not to have hardships and torments, yar.*
I loved only you, you don’t mercy me,
You made me grieve. I am on fire, my love.
ASYA and TELLI:

That is enough pining, moaning (2)
Why do you shed tears so much? (2)
It does not suit you groaning, girl! (2)
Come with us you also be gay (2)
Try to deserve your father's fame, (2)
Come on and keep your honest name. (2)
