ASYA: (comes alone) By God, such à handsome man cannot be found anywhere. And I haven’t ever seen in my life. Now let me look through this hole.
She bends and looks through the hole îf the door
  I’ll also love this young man. (She says angrily). What should be done? If Gulchohra admires à riff-raff; why shouldn’t I fall in love with the young man as à bayzadeh? I’ll do so, that I can overcome Gulchohra... (Amorously) Oh really, when one admires how sad she becomes!
ASYA: (sings) My beloved, oh my beloved!
 

Music
I’d like to tell you my love.

Music
Feel sorrow for my loving soul
Look at me, my beloved. 2

Music
I admired you, darling,

Music
You don’t feel mercy on me.

Music
Feel sorrow for my loving soul

You look at me, darling.

Music
My love glows like à fire

Only your love can save me

Feel sorrow for my loving soul ~

You look at me, darling.

Music
My beloved, oh my beloved...
I’d like to tell you my love!
Feel çîãî÷ for my loving soul,
Look at me my beloved!
She dances and leaves the stage
TELLI: How nice that the guest has come! I’m free from my Master now. Otherwise he would order: cover me here and cover me there. Rub me here and rub me there. I’m quite exhausted by him. Nowhere one can find such à gallant man. If anyone were sent to marry må, God would save me. But where on Earth would be sent such à man by God?
Suddenly the door is knocked
TELLI: Who is that? Did God send such à man?
