Sarvar:
|
He is more handsome than
me. |
| Gulnaz: |
It's not important for
me. |
| Sarvar: |
He is younger than me. |
| Gulnaz: |
Even if he is a child,
I don't need him. |
| Sarvar: |
(laughs). I
say a lie, my lovely Gulnaz! It's true that the man is thousand
times richer than me, but he is old; he is about 50. You'll be
in a horror, if you see him. |
| Gulnaz: |
Look
here, I can't bear any more. Just today I'll tell my father that
I love you, and I'll not marry anybody else, but only you. |
| Sarvar: |
No, Gulnaz,
don't do that! You listen to what I say, otherwise we'll make
a mistake. I know that your father is in debt and he needs much
money, and he wants to tear out some money with the help of
this relationship. The name of the man is Mashadi Ibad. You
shouldn't refuse your father, and if he talks to you about the
matter, say that you don't mind. The rest is up to me. I have
already made some plans about it. |
| Gulnaz |
(sadly). How
can I be agree, when he is going to marry me off to another
man. |
| Sarvar: |
You may be sure of it, nobody else
except me can marry you, but you listen to what I say! |
|
At this moment Sanam enters
|
| Sanam : |
May the day come, when I heartily
could dance at your wedding. |
| Sarvar: |
You'll dance very soon, inshaallah! |
| Sanam |
(is glad). What? Are you
going to play a wedding soon?
|
| Sarvar: |
No, I am not. Rustam bey marries
Gulnaz off to another man. |
| Sanam |
(sadly). Wow... you can't
say so! What a tragedy!.. Who is that man? |
| Sarvar: |
He is an old man. |
| Sanam |
Wow... May he croak!
Would it be fair to marry off such a nice girl to an old man? |
Sarvar: |
Never mind, I'll arrange
the case in a different way. Gulnaz, don't be moody. Be sure, nobody
has the right to part the loving couple from each-other. |
Music |
| All three
together: |
What is this
myth, (2)
That people speak of it. (2)
Because both Majnun and Leyli,
Love each other madly. (2) |
There is a knock at the door |
| Sanam : |
Oh,
perhaps it's my lord. (She runs and looks through the door)
Wow! My master is coming! Run away! |
| Sarvar |
(in a hurry). Gulnaz, see
you later! You do what I say, don't refuse your father! See you! |
| Gulnaz: |
See you! |
Sarvar leaves.
Music
(Rustam bey enters)

| Rustam bey; |

| Gulnaz: |
