Vali and Telli look at each other. Vali sighs deeply
  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...
ALL PEOPLE: That's right.
SULEYMAN: (to Vali) I said to you, Vali, be ready!
SULTAN BAY: Ay giz, Telli, will you marry Vali?
TELLI:    (boldly) Yes, I will.
SULTAN BAY: Vali, will you marry Telli?
Vali is shy, suddenly hå says
VALI:   Yes, I will.
ALL PEOPLE:   Let God give his blessings!
SULTAN BAY: Well, balam, when shall we begin our wedding?
ALL PEOPLE: Right away today!
SULTAN BAY: Then let's start! All take your match!

 

They dance in pairs
Àt first they dance slowly by music but when the òèsiñ is faster they also dance quicker till the curtain falls.
