Sarvar :

(sings "Shikesteyi Fars ".)
Oh, you, angel-like, all are charmed by your grace!
God knows, but people are not aware of,
A man who does not sacrifice for you, knows nothing in life.
He is called a genuin human being, who can sacrifice for you!

Gulnaz and Sarvar sing «Tasnif». You are my love and beauty

Music

Thank you so much my great goodness!

He drags him forward and says something to him.

Askar:

Wow! The girl is singing, too.

Mashadi Ibad:
Now do you imagine what a bad situation I am in?
Askar:

Mashadi, please, come here.
(He drags him forward and says something to him).

Sarvar:

My love, don't come out at nights, because of rivals.
You are as graceful as crescent, it makes me jealous.
Askar:
You'll give two thousand manats, one is mine, the other is for my
company.
Mashadi Ibad:
Oh, poor me! Where can I find so much money?
Askar:
As you wish. If you don't want we can go. And you'll be disgraced
among people. Nobody will trade with you. We'll not have contact with such a dishonest man as you are. You, boys, come on! Let's go!
Mashadi Ibad: Wait! All right, I am agree. Come and have the money tomorrow, but first kill that lad. I can't bear, when I hear his voice, I'm getting heart break.

Chieftains: Hey, who is there, open the door!
Open the door, we are coming to kill you!

Music

 

Pistols with bullets are ready for you, open the door, we are coming to kill you!
Hey, who is there, open the door!
Open the door, we are coming to see you
Hey, who is there, open the door!
Open the door, we are coming to kill you!

Gulnaz:
Oh, Sarvar, I'm afraid, they are going to kill you,
Let's run from here away, let's run to another place.
Oh, Sarvar, I'm afraid, I beg, don't open the door.
If you open the door, the chieftains' bullets will kill you, run Sarvar, let's run!
The chieftains: Open the door!
Sarvar:
Tell me, oh, you, people,
What do you want from me?
What do you need in this house,
Say, why have you come to this door?
I'm not afraid of you,
You can do what you want
You'd better get away,
Get to your own business and work.
The Chieftains:
You snatched Mashadi Ibad's,
His loyal bride from his hand.
You've made him very unhappy,
You have too much sin and fault.
We've come to shoot and kill you,
Let Mashadi be much pleased.
He will give us much money.
We shall have a splendid party!
Askar
(says to the chieftains). Take out your pistols, be ready! When I say one, two, three, you shoot! Be ready! One... two...

Sarvar whistles, he calls policemen. The chieftains run and escapein panics. The porter and Mashadi Ibad also run. Sarvar laughs.

Gulnaz: Oh, I was so afraid that my heart was beating quickly.
Sarvar: Don't be afraid, come on, let's go in. (They leave).

At this moment Rustam bey appeares in the
street and wants to enter his yard.

Rustam bey:
It's true that I could cheat Mashadi Ibad and got 2 thousand manats from him, but I pity Gulnaz. Poor girl will be unhappy. My daughter isn't Mashadi Ibad's equal. What to do, may nobody be poor!

As soon as he wants to enter, at the moment Sarvar comes out of the yard.
Meeting they have a good look at each other in surprise.

Rustam bey: Who are you, and what are you doing in my house?
Sarvar: I'm an ordinary student, and I do nothing at your house.

Gulnaz and Sanam come out.

Gulnaz: He will kill all of us.
Sanam: Oh my God, bless us! Pity us!
Sarvar:
I'd never come to your house if I didn't love your daughter and
if she didn't love me.
Rustam bey
(furiously): What do you say? How do you dare? Now I'll shoot a bullet into your head and your brain will scatter around.
Sarvar: I'll shoot the bullet myself.
Rustam bey: At whom?
Sarvar: At me, myself!
