SULTAN BAY: Ìàó your clever head always be safe and sound!
Suddenly Suleyman sees Gulchohra and looks at her attentively
SULEYMAN: Well, is she Gulchohra?
ASKAR: Yes, she is.
SULEYMAN: But the girl I saw didn’t look like her.
SULTAN BAY: Probably you must have seen Asya.
SULEYMAN:   Who is Asya?
SULTAN BAY: She is my niece.
SULEYMAN: (he is glad): Is she? Oh, if it’s so why must I be à bachelor? Give her to me and I’ll also plan à wedding!
SULTAN BAY: Is it your true word?
SULEYMAN: Certainly!
SULTAN BAY: I give her to you.
ÀLL: Let God give his blessings! How good is everything!

  À bala, why do you sigh so deeply? What's your grief?
ASKAR: Don’t you know? I marry Gulchohra, you marry Asya to Suleyman and you marry my Aunt. Now give Telli to Vali...

SULTAN BAY: Ay giz, Telli, will you marry Vali?
TELLI:   (boldly) Yes, I will.
SULTAN BAY: Vali, will you marry Telli?

VALI:   Yes, I will.

SULTAN BAY: Well, balam, when shall we begin our wedding?

SULTAN BAY: Then let's start! All take your match!
