| ASKAR: |
I caused much
hindrance to poor Gulchohra. Now the poor girl thinks
that she was really forced to marry another man. But
she is à very staunch girl and she keeps her promise firmly.
She did not agree to marry by her father's demand; that’s
why by her father's request I sent my men to abduct
her. Never mind, after an hour or two my trick will
be disclosed. Then Gulchohra will be happy; I’ll be
happy too; her father and all will be glad. But my soul
hastens very much. I want my beloved to be brought as
soon as possible. At last to put an end to poor girl'
s suffering. But I acted excellently. I was late in
life to marry, but at last I married in this way. It's
not à bad way, but
à good one. Ìàó Suleyman's father's soul rest in
ðåàñå! À good method he taught me. At last
I marry to à girl whom I have
seen and whom I love, she also loves me... in brief,
let me go and see my aunt, if she has prepared the things,
which I asked. |
| Íå leaves; after
some moment the door is opened, the abducted
Gulchohra brought. Some boys are catching Gulchohra's
arms.
They lead her to the room, close the doors and go
àwàó.
Gulchohra falls on à bed sobbing...
after some moment she says. |
| GULCHOHRA: |
Oh, in what torment I live! I’m married by force. I don’t
know whom I marry! They tear me from my beloved. I don’t
need this wealth and luxury. I want only my beloved. |
She covers her face and cries

| GULCHOHRA: |
Òî live apart destroys
my heart.(2)
It means I deserve such à misfortune. (2)
I have neither patience, nor strength. (2)
Better to die than to live such à life. (2)
Oh khuda*, help me, aman, oh khuda help me!
(2)
Oh my God! I am alone help me! |

No
I cannot bear this hardship. I have no strength anymore.
Better to hang and end with all of it. |
She opens the towel and twists it to hang herself.
But at this moment she hears the familiar song.
"Arshin Mal Àlan" and listens in surprise.
And heard it she remembers past days.
Askar sings behind the curtain.
"Arshin
Mal Alan!" (Íå sings all the
song.)

Askar
enters and greets Gulchohra
