| SULEYMAN: |
Salamaleykum! |
| SULTAN BAY: |
Oh, Suleyman! Aleykum salam! Balam, what à trickster man is your friend! |
| SULEYMAN: |
Yes, he is à very trickster
man; I don't know who has taught him. |
| ASKAR: |
Whom did I learn it from? Didn't you teach me all of
it? Íåãå is Aunt, Let her tell! |
| JAHAN: |
That's true. The mastermind of all it is Suleyman. Íå taught. |
| SULTAN BAY: |
Oh, was he! Suleyman, I didn’t imagine you were such
à man. Where did you learn this? |
| SULEYMAN: |
Bay, I just came up with it on my own. |
| 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! |
| SULEYMAN: |
(aside) See, the fortune of à faithful and
brave friend should be so! |
|
Asya, Telli and Vali enter at the moment.
