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.

Music

Asya and Telli sing
That is enough pining, moaning. (2)
Why do you shed tears so much (2)
Ðîåâ 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)
