Mămo was in …Alān and Zine was in Jazire Bota. The jinn of heaven made a plan. They gathered together and said ‘We want to find a very handsome boy and a very beautiful girl. (We want) both to come together. We shall bring them together and marry them’. Now, they sat down and made a plan. They saw Zine in Jazira Bota and Mămo in …Alān. They started arguing with one another regarding whom to take to whom. ‘Should we take Zine to Mămo or Mămo to Zine?’ They said ‘No, a woman is treacherous. She will have her husband killed. Let us take Zine to Mămo’. So, at night they seized Zine and brought her, they took her to Mămo. They took her to Mămo. They slept. She woke up and pushed Mămo (out of bed). She said ‘Why have you come and slept in my bed?’ He said ‘Woman, it was not me who came to sleep in your bed. It was you who came to sleep in my bed. If I have come to sleep in you bed, call your servants, your maids, their names are Šalem and Surma. Call them! If they answer you, then indeed it is me who has come to you. If they do not answer you, you have come to me’. She called Šalem and Surma, but they did not give her any reply. She began to weep. Mămo stood up and called Bangina his servant. He said ‘Bangina, you are a very honourable person. I don’t want anything from you. Bring a lamp in your hand and come here to me. Look at this beautiful girl, who has fallen asleep with me, so that tomorrow, if I speak (about it), I shall not be considered a liar and you will give your consent to say “Yes, it is true, there was a girl sleeping with him.”’ He came and brought a lamp in his hand. He entered and saw Zine with Mămo. Bangina returned. His servant returned and went to his room. What did they do? They exchanged rings and scarves (pledging themselves to one another) until the day they died. They both slept. He put a dagger and a sword, one opposite the other, so that they would not touch each other. In the morning, the jinn came and took Zine, took her away to Jazira Bota. Mămo awoke and got up, but like a madman. He did not see the girl who had been with him. He only found the scarf and the ring on his hand. He said ‘Where should I go? Who should I look for? Who should I ask so that I can find out where she has gone and who has taken her away?’ He came and sat down in front of the door of the house. His father came. He said ‘Ah, my son, Mămo, why are you sitting (looking so) sad?’ He said ‘Father, the situation is like this’. He said ‘This night a girl came and slept with me. I got up in the morning and did not find her. I don’t know where she has gone’. He said ‘My son, don’t listen, they are little demons, they make themselves (into things) in the daytime (and make themselves) beautiful at night and come into the dreams of young men like you’. He said ‘They would come also into my head when I was young. They would come into my dreams. It is a dream, it is a vision, not (anything else)’. He said ‘Father, but whose is this ring and scarf? Here is a ring and here is a scarf. How can I make myself lie and say that they are not real?’ His father was confused. He said ‘What should I do now?’ He got up. The father of Mămo was an important man, he was an elder. He spoke to the people (there) and brought horsemen, three hundred horsemen. That is horses and people on their back. He said ‘Go and at every day’s stage (of the journey) a hundred of you will return. You will say “We have not reached Jazira Bota. We do not know where it is.”’ Three hundred horsemen went off. Every day a hundred returned. Everyday a hundred returned. The three hundred horsemen returned and said ‘We have not found where Jazira Bota is’. Mămo himself was forced (to go). He sat on the back of his horse, he and his servant. They came along the road. They came along the road a long way. For two or three days they were on the road without food and without drink. The servant Bangina said to Mămo, he said ‘My lord, where are you going? We have killed ourselves these three days and three nights. Neither are we eating nor are our horses eating’. He said ‘Sit down. Let’s rest a little. We shall pray to the Lord God for us to find where the road is’. Now, they sat for a while. They began talking, and so forth. They ate something and gave their horses some food. Now, the servant said to the master, he said ‘My lord, where should we go?’ He said ‘We shall go to find where Zine is. But we do not know where she is, in what place she is, what the road is’. He said ‘I cannot come with you in that case’. The servant got up and returned. Bangina returned. He (Mămo) remained alone. He began to think. He was (immersed) in this musing for three days without eating or drinking or sleeping. (Finally) sleep stole him away and he slept. Jinn came and took him. They took him away and put him on the mountain of Jazira Bota. When Zine went away, when she went home—she had a sister, Səttiye, (there were also) Naze and Zine, they were three sisters. Səttiye was the oldest one, Naze the middle one and Zine the youngest. She said to her sisters ‘My sister Səttiye, you take this ring of mine. I have a fiancé, but I cannot put it on my hand. I have a fiancé, whose name is such-and-such’, and so forth. She took the ring. Zine put it on the hand of Səttiye, her sister. She was married to Qarateždin. Now, when he (Mămo) came down (from the sky) and came to the top of the mountain, the sun shone on him and he said ‘May your name be praised, Lord God, who have brought me here together with my horse’. He said ‘I think this is the town. I’ll go down and ask what town this is’. Now, he went down to the spring. He and his horse went down to the spring. He saw some girls there. He greeted them. They said ‘Welcome. (You have come) from there to here, Mămo!’ He said ‘From where do they know my name?’ He was surprised. What did he do? He said ‘I’ll ask’. There were there three other girls, those of Băkurku the corrupt Jew. He had a lot of land. He was the servant of Mir-Zandin. Mir Zandin said ‘His daughters will go (and get married), he will die and his land will remain for me’. His daughters were by that spring. They had heard about Mămo from Zine, since they were the servants of Zine’. He said ‘Let me ask you something. What town is this? They said ‘This is Jazira Bota’. ‘Is this Jazira Bota?’ They said ‘Yes’. He said ‘Where can I lodge as a guest?’ They said ‘If you are a good man, with Qara Teždin. If you (have come) with the business of a prince, with Mir-Zandin. If you have come to fornicate, then with our father Băku’. ‘Oh’ he said ‘May you be cursed! It would have been better if I had not asked you’. He mounted the back of his horse and went off. He went up and said ‘Wherever my horse stops, (I shall stay) there’… . What time is it? It is seven in the morning. He went up … He stopped before the door of Qara Teždin. The palace of Qara Teždin was on the mountain. He could see all the town. He went up and his horse stopped there. He struck the sides of the horse so that the horse would move from there. The horse did not move. He dismounted and took the horse of Qara Teždin. He pulled it from the grass he was eating and tied his own in its place, then went up. He went up and knocked on the door. He went up and knocked on the door and Səttiye came out. When Səttiye came out, she saw him and her heart was broken. She began to faint and he caught her. Slowly he took her and put her on the bed. (She fainted) because Mămo was handsome. He put her on the bed. Then Qara Teždin said to her ‘Make something light (to eat) for this worthy guest of ours. I’ll just go down to the town to bring food and come back’. Qara Teždin set off and went down to the town. She got up and made coffee. She brought the coffee and served it. His eye fell on his ring. He said ‘Ah! She is married, and I did not know’. They are sisters, you see, and they resemble one another. He said ‘She is married and I did not know’. He got up and did not drink the coffee. He sat on the back of his horse and went back down to the spring, the spring to which he had come previously. Qara Teždin returned home and said ‘Ah, wife, where is the guest?’ She said ‘By your head, what should I say? I prepared coffee for him and served it, here it is. As you drank, he also (was treated) in the same way’. ‘But why, why? Did you not say something to him?’ And so forth. She said ‘By your head, what should I say, Qara Teždin?’. He said ‘(How could it be that) I am Qara Teždin, the collector of taxes and the like of the people of Botan, and a guest comes like this into my house and leaves without me knowing where on earth he was going! I (have the power) to drink water (even) from the clouds.’ He mounted his horse and went after him, went after him to the spring. He said to him ‘Hey, my friend, why did you leave my house? Why had I gone down (to the town)?’ He (Mămo) said ‘Go up, my friend, the sun has risen and (when) it has set, it will not shine (again)’. He did not know (what he was talking about). He went up and said ‘I’ll go up and work it out’. He said (to himself ) ‘Go up and work it out’. He went up and said to his wife, he said ‘He said this to me, this, what do you say?’ She said ‘Go down and say to him “The sun has just risen, sunshine has struck the mountains, but the sunshine has not yet completely (spread)” Just tell him this and return’. Qara Teždin did not know what the meaning was. The woman went off. He went down and said to him, he said ‘My friend, the sun has just risen, but the sunshine has not struck the mountains’. Mămo was forced to return. He returned and said ‘What is going on?’ He said ‘Your ring, this ring is mine’. She said ‘It is yours, yes. My sister, Zine gave it to me. She said “I cannot keep it on my hand”. I took it and put it on my hand. (I wish) that she would be married to you’. Qara Teždin said when he heard this, he said ‘We are three brothers, Qara Teždin, Čəkko and Səppo. You also should become (one) of us and (make) four brothers. But I must first take the sister of Mir Zandin to marry her to you’. Now, he came and he went up onto the roof. He went up onto the roof to show him Jazira Bota. Zine and her maid-servants went down to the spring. Mir-Zandin said ‘She (Zine) is going down to the spring’. He said ‘Go down and meet her’. He (Mămo) said ‘No, you go down to meet her’. Mămo said ‘You go down to meet her’. He said ‘No, you go down to meet her’. A word is beautiful in the mouth of its master. Mămo got up and sat on his horse. He went down to the spring. Zine came. Forty bridesmaids were with her. She came. He took her scarf in his hand and did this (with) the ring, and she saw it. He greeted her. She let his greeting go over her head. She came and he said ‘Give me a bowl of water’. She got up and gave him a bowl of water, and he drank. He drank and she sent them away, she sent all the maid-servants away. She said ‘Go up to the house’. They remained there and had fun together. They had fun together and he said to her ‘Go up and tell your brother that today they should make a plan to go out hunting. Then, I shall go to you at home’. She said ‘I have seen in my dream that my brother will seize you and put you into a cell, in jail’. He said ‘I don’t care about a cell. Your brother cannot put me in a cell. You go up and say to him that tomorrow they should go out hunting and I shall come to you’. She got up and said to her brother, she said ‘Brother, I would like you to go up and hunt for wild sheep, you to go and bring me wild sheep’. He says ‘Sister, I don’t think you have ever requested such things are you are requesting now’. She said ‘Brother, I’d like it’. he said ‘By all means’. Now, the next day he gave word and they went up. (When) they went up the mountain, it began to be overcast and rain. Mămo went up to the house, to the palace of Mir-Zandin. When it started raining, Mir-Zandin sent a servant. He said ‘Go down and tell Zine to prepare the living room. We have returned, we could not go out hunting, it is raining’. He came down and (found) Mămo and Zine kissing each other. He came (into the house) and said ‘My lord, let each other go! Mir-Zandin has come back’. He sat like this on the sofa. At that time all aghas and elders wore the abbaya gown. He put the abbaya over them. He hid her, Zine, behind him. He (Mir-Zandin) entered (and said) ‘Greetings’. ‘Greetings to you too’. He (Mămo) accepted his greetings while sitting on the floor. He (Mir-Zandin) said ‘Are you not ashamed!? A prince like me greets you and you are sitting on your bum! Why have you not got up?’ He said ‘My lord, it shameful for you to say “bum” in the reception room. Don’t say “bum” in the reception room. Qara Teždin stood up and said ‘Ask, perhaps he has a stomachache, perhaps he has a headache, perhaps he has a pain somewhere. Why (treat him) in this way?’ He sat down. When Qara Teždin got angry, Mămo shouted at him ‘Qara Teždin, you and I are brothers, half-brothers, as they say. Come put your hand in my hand. Let me tell you something. Now, Qara Teždin went and put his hand in the hand of Mămo. Mămo took the locks of Zine and put them in the hand of Qara Teždin. Qara Teždin knew that Zine was behind him. He had put his abbaya over her. He got up, annoyed, and went off. He said to his wife, Səttiye, he said ‘Səttiye, the situation is like this. Mămo and Zine are in a predicament. Let’s set fire to the house. Let’s burn our house so that there will be a cry for help and everybody will come to put out the (burning) house. Mămo and Zine will escape from the house’. She said ‘If it is like that, let even the baby remain in the cradle and also the Qurʿan, but burn everything’. He said ‘No, don’t say that. Bring the baby and the Qurʿan out and we’ll set fire to the house’. The house of Qara Teždin consisted of seven storeys, seven rooms. Now, he set fire to the house. He set fire to the house, it began to burn and there was a commotion and call for help. Mir-Zandin said to Bakurko, who was a lying Jew, he went out and said, Mir-Zandin said to him, look, what noise is that? He went out and saw that the house of Qara Teždin was burning. He (the Jew) said ‘My lord, it is nothing. It is a dog fight and children are watching it and shouting below’. The house of Qara Teždin was burning, but he lied and said ‘It is nothing’. There were shouts for help and a cry. He said to his servant, who had come from the hunt, he said to him ‘Go out and see what is happening. When he went out into the doorway, he saw that the house of Qara Teždin was burning. He said ‘My lord (I swear) by your head, not once, but seven times, that the house of Qara Teždin has burnt down. Qara Teždin is his brother-in-law, that is Qara Teždin had married the sister of Mir-Zandin. Then Mir Zandin was angry and kicked the side of Bakurko and his shoe fell off. They went for help. A while passed with this and that (happening). He said ‘Well, Jew, dirty, cursed dog, for how long will you lie? The house of Qara Teždin is burning and you say that it is a dog fight. Go and get my shoe!’ He went to bring his shoe and saw Zine and Mămo talking together. He said ‘Give me something to eat so that I am not a thorn in your foot’. He said ‘Now, blind man, what can I give you? If you were in my country, I would give you what-ever you wanted. But, I have come to your country. You must help me.’ He said ‘Curses, I’ll be a thorn in your foot’. He said ‘Go! Nothing can be done with you, you dirty Jew’. He drove him out and he went away. He went off, and the people began to extinguish the house of Qara Teždin. His sister Səttiye, Zine sent gifts to Səttiye her sister, now that their house was burnt down, and other things, since she no longer had anything. She sent them to her and people came and rebuilt his house, in six or seven days, since Jazire Bota was a large community. They rebuilt his house, one or two rooms, and he dwelt in them. The next day Bakurko went back and said to Mir-Zandin, he said ‘I’d like to tell you something. It is indeed true, believe me’. He said ‘What is it? You liar Bakurko, tell me’. He said ‘Mămo loves Zine’. There are two of such (women called) Zine. One is his sister and one is his wife. Mir-Zandin thought (he was talking) about his wife. He did not think (he was talking about) his sister. He did not say ‘He loves your sister’. He said ‘He loves Zine’. Now, we do not know (by this statement) which Zine (was meant). He said ‘The wife is honourable, she does not have such affairs, I know this’—and so forth. Bakurko said ‘If it is not so—they are sitting playing chess, revealing secrets to one another, if it is not so cut off my head and also let my property be yours’. This Bakurko had a lot of property. He was a Jew. He had three daughters. Now, he called for Mămo and he came and sat in the reception room, and everybody else sat down in the reception room. They began playing chess. They played three times and Mir-Zandin lost and was unable to beat Mămo. He said ‘What should I do with this man, Bakurko?’ He (Bakurko) ran up and said to Zine, whom Mămo loved, he went up and said ‘Zine, what are you doing here? Go and look out of the window. See your brother and Mămo who are sitting playing chess, the crowd that is gathered there, and so forth’. She got up, looked through the window and saw the back of Mămo (turned) towards her, his back was (turned) towards her. He went down and said to Mămo and Mir-Zandin, he said ‘My lord, may I humbly suggest you change places. Change places’. When they changed places, Mămo’s eyes fell on the window and (saw that) Zine was sitting in the window. He began not to pay attention to the chess. He began to look at Zine. Mămo lost. Mămo lost three rounds. He said to him, he said ‘My suffering is not from this (game), my suffering is from that one at the window. She has killed me and made me lose’. Bakurko said ‘My lord, don’t give your ear to such people speaking’. He said ‘She is asleep in the bed upstairs, in ostrich feathers. She is my betrothed’. Qara Teždin stood up. They wanted to kill Mămo. Mir-Zandin got up and wanted to kill him. Qara Teždin himself said ‘I am Qara Teždin. I have three brothers. We are half brothers. Whoever of you touches Mămo, we shall scatter his blood from here until the palace of the prince’. His brother ‘əkko stood up after him and said ‘I am mad Čəkko. I have bought this sword of mine for a hundred gold coins. Whoever of you moves and strikes Mămo, I’ll chop up his head and cut off his legs, hands and head’. His third brother Səppo stood up. He was more mad (than the others). Nobody dared speak to him in the reception room. Mir-Zandin was annoyed. He went up home. He said to his mother, he said ‘Mother, today the three brothers of Qara Teždin became angry’. She said ‘Why, my dear’. He said ‘The situation is like this’. She said, my son, he has not come after your wife. He has come (since) he loves your sister. Your sister loves him. Before the eyes of these people of Botan, send them (his relatives) off to collect taxes and keep him for a year in prison. Before they return, release him from prison. Marry your sister to him. He is, moreover, the son of a king, he is a great man and a handsome man. Why won’t you give your sister to him?’ He called and said ‘Qara Teždin, ’6ppo and Səppo’, he said ‘Come’. He said ‘Go and collect the taxes of the people of Botan and I shall give my sister to Mămo’. They said ‘If we go, don’t harm him, don’t touch him’. He said ‘No’. They went away for a year. When they had gone, he put Mămo into a cell. A cell is a prison, a jail. He put him there, from day to day until a year had passed. Then they came back. Qara Teždin, Čəkko and Səppo, the three of them came back to the door of Qara Teždin. Səttiye went up onto the roof. She saw that three horsemen had come to the door of the house. While still on the roof she said ‘Qara Teždin from the day that you went away to collect taxes, to collect money for Mir-Zandin, from that day he has held Mămo in prison, until today’. The three of them went, they did not rest but went to the house of Mir-Zandin. They said ‘We shall kill you right now. You have no chance. We shall kill you now’. ‘But why?’ They said ‘We said that you should not touch Mămo. From the day that we went away you have held him in a cell, in prison’. They said ‘You must release him now and marry your sister to him, otherwise we shall kill you right now’. Bakurko said ‘Why should we go down and release him? Let Zine make herself elegant, put gold on her, put on festive clothes and take forty bridesmaids with her. Let her come down and bring them out (with her) and we shall hold the wedding here’. He said ‘That’s true, Bakurko’. She got up. She busied herself, speaking to her forty maid-servants, preparing herself. He, Bakurko, took himself off and ran down to Mămo. He said ‘Mămo, Mămo, I said to you give me something to eat, but you did not give it to me. Now your brothers—you used to say “my brothers”—it has been a year that they have been here but have not asked for you. Now Zine is going to come with forty bridesmaids. She is going to say goodbye to you and marry somebody else’. He did not believe at first. He said ‘Let her marry, I am not the only man. There are those who are better men than me, more handsome, better men’. He did not believe it, until he saw the girl coming. Then, over here, Zine pleaded to God and said ‘Oh God, let him be well until I reach him’. Zine came down near to the prison and he saw her and forty girls with her. She was coming towards him, and he then believed Bakurko. He said ‘She is coming now to say goodbye to me’. He struggled (to move). He had been tethered with chains on his shoulders. He struggled to release himself. The chain went into the veins of his neck and cut them. He fell down. Blood started flowing from his neck. She quickly entered (and found) him. She said ‘Do not struggle. I have come to bring you out of the prison’. He said ‘You have not come to bring me out of the prison. You have come to take my spirit from me’. She said ‘No! I have come to bring you out’—and so forth—‘Don’t struggle!’ He spoke thus and died. When he died, she began to cry in lament and weep, cursing her brother and Bakurko. They came and there they all lamented and sang (dirges) over his coffin. She said ‘Let his coffin be red and white. Mămo died in the morning and I shall die in the evening’. She began to lament over him like that. She said ‘It was Bakurko who was the cause’. She said ‘Bring him to me’. They brought Bakurko to her. Before he went up he said to his daughters, he said ‘Listen. Now I shall go up and Zine will give me poison to drink and burn me. After she burns me, take the ashes and keep them. (When) Zine dies and they put her with Mămo, both together, put this ash on them and then leave it alone’. Bakurko went up, he went up to Zine. Zine said ‘Why did you do this?’ He said ‘I did not do anything’. He said ‘I just talked, I did not do anything. I did not kill him’. She said ‘Give him a bowl, a bowl of water. Fill it with poison and give it to him’. They gave him poison (one bowl) after another, until he fell. They put petrol on him and burnt him. His daughters came, took the ashes, put them all in a cloth and put them aside. She began to ask God to let her also die. She became ill. She did not eat. They began to weep. Her brother Mir-Zandin came and said ‘My sister, do not weep any more. Do not mourn any more. Whoever you love, I’ll give you to him. Say, I’ll give you to him’. She said ‘After Mămo I don’t love anybody and don’t you speak to me. Do not speak! I don’t love anybody. I shall die after (the death of) Mămo’. She began to lament and strike herself. She began not to eat, until she also died. Death befell her also. They put them in the grave both together. The daughters of Bakurko went up and spread the ashes over their grave. A pair of poplar trees sprang up. A pair (of trees) grew over them. There is a hole in the grave. There is a chopper, a chopper to cut wood. A wild vine grows up and winds around those two poplar trees. The first to see the vine growing on those (trees) cuts it down. That place remains to this day. I have left it there and have come here.

Translation:

Now we shall begin the story of Mămo and Zine. Mămo was in …Alān and Zine was in Jazire Bota. The jinn of heaven made a plan. They gathered together and said ‘We want to find a very handsome boy and a very beautiful girl. (We want) both to come together. We shall bring them together and marry them’. Now, they sat down and made a plan. They saw Zine in Jazira Bota and Mămo in …Alān. They started arguing with one another regarding whom to take to whom. ‘Should we take Zine to Mămo or Mămo to Zine?’ They said ‘No, a woman is treacherous. She will have her husband killed. Let us take Zine to Mămo’. So, at night they seized Zine and brought her, they took her to Mămo. They took her to Mămo. They slept. She woke up and pushed Mămo (out of bed). She said ‘Why have you come and slept in my bed?’ He said ‘Woman, it was not me who came to sleep in your bed. It was you who came to sleep in my bed. If I have come to sleep in you bed, call your servants, your maids, their names are Šalem and Surma. Call them! If they answer you, then indeed it is me who has come to you. If they do not answer you, you have come to me’. She called Šalem and Surma, but they did not give her any reply. She began to weep. Mămo stood up and called Bangina his servant. He said ‘Bangina, you are a very honourable person. I don’t want anything from you. Bring a lamp in your hand and come here to me. Look at this beautiful girl, who has fallen asleep with me, so that tomorrow, if I speak (about it), I shall not be considered a liar and you will give your consent to say “Yes, it is true, there was a girl sleeping with him.”’ He came and brought a lamp in his hand. He entered and saw Zine with Mămo. Bangina returned. His servant returned and went to his room. What did they do? They exchanged rings and scarves (pledging themselves to one another) until the day they died. They both slept. He put a dagger and a sword, one opposite the other, so that they would not touch each other. In the morning, the jinn came and took Zine, took her away to Jazira Bota. Mămo awoke and got up, but like a madman. He did not see the girl who had been with him. He only found the scarf and the ring on his hand. He said ‘Where should I go? Who should I look for? Who should I ask so that I can find out where she has gone and who has taken her away?’ He came and sat down in front of the door of the house. His father came. He said ‘Ah, my son, Mămo, why are you sitting (looking so) sad?’ He said ‘Father, the situation is like this’. He said ‘This night a girl came and slept with me. I got up in the morning and did not find her. I don’t know where she has gone’. He said ‘My son, don’t listen, they are little demons, they make themselves (into things) in the daytime (and make themselves) beautiful at night and come into the dreams of young men like you’. He said ‘They would come also into my head when I was young. They would come into my dreams. It is a dream, it is a vision, not (anything else)’. He said ‘Father, but whose is this ring and scarf? Here is a ring and here is a scarf. How can I make myself lie and say that they are not real?’ His father was confused. He said ‘What should I do now?’ He got up. The father of Mămo was an important man, he was an elder. He spoke to the people (there) and brought horsemen, three hundred horsemen. That is horses and people on their back. He said ‘Go and at every day’s stage (of the journey) a hundred of you will return. You will say “We have not reached Jazira Bota. We do not know where it is.”’ Three hundred horsemen went off. Every day a hundred returned. Everyday a hundred returned. The three hundred horsemen returned and said ‘We have not found where Jazira Bota is’. Mămo himself was forced (to go). He sat on the back of his horse, he and his servant. They came along the road. They came along the road a long way. For two or three days they were on the road without food and without drink. The servant Bangina said to Mămo, he said ‘My lord, where are you going? We have killed ourselves these three days and three nights. Neither are we eating nor are our horses eating’. He said ‘Sit down. Let’s rest a little. We shall pray to the Lord God for us to find where the road is’. Now, they sat for a while. They began talking, and so forth. They ate something and gave their horses some food. Now, the servant said to the master, he said ‘My lord, where should we go?’ He said ‘We shall go to find where Zine is. But we do not know where she is, in what place she is, what the road is’. He said ‘I cannot come with you in that case’. The servant got up and returned. Bangina returned. He (Mămo) remained alone. He began to think. He was (immersed) in this musing for three days without eating or drinking or sleeping. (Finally) sleep stole him away and he slept. Jinn came and took him. They took him away and put him on the mountain of Jazira Bota. When Zine went away, when she went home—she had a sister, Səttiye, (there were also) Naze and Zine, they were three sisters. Səttiye was the oldest one, Naze the middle one and Zine the youngest. She said to her sisters ‘My sister Səttiye, you take this ring of mine. I have a fiancé, but I cannot put it on my hand. I have a fiancé, whose name is such-and-such’, and so forth. She took the ring. Zine put it on the hand of Səttiye, her sister. She was married to Qarateždin. Now, when he (Mămo) came down (from the sky) and came to the top of the mountain, the sun shone on him and he said ‘May your name be praised, Lord God, who have brought me here together with my horse’. He said ‘I think this is the town. I’ll go down and ask what town this is’. Now, he went down to the spring. He and his horse went down to the spring. He saw some girls there. He greeted them. They said ‘Welcome. (You have come) from there to here, Mămo!’ He said ‘From where do they know my name?’ He was surprised. What did he do? He said ‘I’ll ask’. There were there three other girls, those of Băkurku the corrupt Jew. He had a lot of land. He was the servant of Mir-Zandin. Mir Zandin said ‘His daughters will go (and get married), he will die and his land will remain for me’. His daughters were by that spring. They had heard about Mămo from Zine, since they were the servants of Zine’. He said ‘Let me ask you something. What town is this? They said ‘This is Jazira Bota’. ‘Is this Jazira Bota?’ They said ‘Yes’. He said ‘Where can I lodge as a guest?’ They said ‘If you are a good man, with Qara Teždin. If you (have come) with the business of a prince, with Mir-Zandin. If you have come to fornicate, then with our father Băku’. ‘Oh’ he said ‘May you be cursed! It would have been better if I had not asked you’. He mounted the back of his horse and went off. He went up and said ‘Wherever my horse stops, (I shall stay) there’… . What time is it? It is seven in the morning. He went up … He stopped before the door of Qara Teždin. The palace of Qara Teždin was on the mountain. He could see all the town. He went up and his horse stopped there. He struck the sides of the horse so that the horse would move from there. The horse did not move. He dismounted and took the horse of Qara Teždin. He pulled it from the grass he was eating and tied his own in its place, then went up. He went up and knocked on the door. He went up and knocked on the door and Səttiye came out. When Səttiye came out, she saw him and her heart was broken. She began to faint and he caught her. Slowly he took her and put her on the bed. (She fainted) because Mămo was handsome. He put her on the bed. Then Qara Teždin said to her ‘Make something light (to eat) for this worthy guest of ours. I’ll just go down to the town to bring food and come back’. Qara Teždin set off and went down to the town. She got up and made coffee. She brought the coffee and served it. His eye fell on his ring. He said ‘Ah! She is married, and I did not know’. They are sisters, you see, and they resemble one another. He said ‘She is married and I did not know’. He got up and did not drink the coffee. He sat on the back of his horse and went back down to the spring, the spring to which he had come previously. Qara Teždin returned home and said ‘Ah, wife, where is the guest?’ She said ‘By your head, what should I say? I prepared coffee for him and served it, here it is. As you drank, he also (was treated) in the same way’. ‘But why, why? Did you not say something to him?’ And so forth. She said ‘By your head, what should I say, Qara Teždin?’. He said ‘(How could it be that) I am Qara Teždin, the collector of taxes and the like of the people of Botan, and a guest comes like this into my house and leaves without me knowing where on earth he was going! I (have the power) to drink water (even) from the clouds.’ He mounted his horse and went after him, went after him to the spring. He said to him ‘Hey, my friend, why did you leave my house? Why had I gone down (to the town)?’ He (Mămo) said ‘Go up, my friend, the sun has risen and (when) it has set, it will not shine (again)’. He did not know (what he was talking about). He went up and said ‘I’ll go up and work it out’. He said (to himself ) ‘Go up and work it out’. He went up and said to his wife, he said ‘He said this to me, this, what do you say?’ She said ‘Go down and say to him “The sun has just risen, sunshine has struck the mountains, but the sunshine has not yet completely (spread)” Just tell him this and return’. Qara Teždin did not know what the meaning was. The woman went off. He went down and said to him, he said ‘My friend, the sun has just risen, but the sunshine has not struck the mountains’. Mămo was forced to return. He returned and said ‘What is going on?’ He said ‘Your ring, this ring is mine’. She said ‘It is yours, yes. My sister, Zine gave it to me. She said “I cannot keep it on my hand”. I took it and put it on my hand. (I wish) that she would be married to you’. Qara Teždin said when he heard this, he said ‘We are three brothers, Qara Teždin, Čəkko and Səppo. You also should become (one) of us and (make) four brothers. But I must first take the sister of Mir Zandin to marry her to you’. Now, he came and he went up onto the roof. He went up onto the roof to show him Jazira Bota. Zine and her maid-servants went down to the spring. Mir-Zandin said ‘She (Zine) is going down to the spring’. He said ‘Go down and meet her’. He (Mămo) said ‘No, you go down to meet her’. Mămo said ‘You go down to meet her’. He said ‘No, you go down to meet her’. A word is beautiful in the mouth of its master. Mămo got up and sat on his horse. He went down to the spring. Zine came. Forty bridesmaids were with her. She came. He took her scarf in his hand and did this (with) the ring, and she saw it. He greeted her. She let his greeting go over her head. She came and he said ‘Give me a bowl of water’. She got up and gave him a bowl of water, and he drank. He drank and she sent them away, she sent all the maid-servants away. She said ‘Go up to the house’. They remained there and had fun together. They had fun together and he said to her ‘Go up and tell your brother that today they should make a plan to go out hunting. Then, I shall go to you at home’. She said ‘I have seen in my dream that my brother will seize you and put you into a cell, in jail’. He said ‘I don’t care about a cell. Your brother cannot put me in a cell. You go up and say to him that tomorrow they should go out hunting and I shall come to you’. She got up and said to her brother, she said ‘Brother, I would like you to go up and hunt for wild sheep, you to go and bring me wild sheep’. He says ‘Sister, I don’t think you have ever requested such things are you are requesting now’. She said ‘Brother, I’d like it’. he said ‘By all means’. Now, the next day he gave word and they went up. (When) they went up the mountain, it began to be overcast and rain. Mămo went up to the house, to the palace of Mir-Zandin. When it started raining, Mir-Zandin sent a servant. He said ‘Go down and tell Zine to prepare the living room. We have returned, we could not go out hunting, it is raining’. He came down and (found) Mămo and Zine kissing each other. He came (into the house) and said ‘My lord, let each other go! Mir-Zandin has come back’. He sat like this on the sofa. At that time all aghas and elders wore the abbaya gown. He put the abbaya over them. He hid her, Zine, behind him. He (Mir-Zandin) entered (and said) ‘Greetings’. ‘Greetings to you too’. He (Mămo) accepted his greetings while sitting on the floor. He (Mir-Zandin) said ‘Are you not ashamed!? A prince like me greets you and you are sitting on your bum! Why have you not got up?’ He said ‘My lord, it shameful for you to say “bum” in the reception room. Don’t say “bum” in the reception room. Qara Teždin stood up and said ‘Ask, perhaps he has a stomachache, perhaps he has a headache, perhaps he has a pain somewhere. Why (treat him) in this way?’ He sat down. When Qara Teždin got angry, Mămo shouted at him ‘Qara Teždin, you and I are brothers, half-brothers, as they say. Come put your hand in my hand. Let me tell you something. Now, Qara Teždin went and put his hand in the hand of Mămo. Mămo took the locks of Zine and put them in the hand of Qara Teždin. Qara Teždin knew that Zine was behind him. He had put his abbaya over her. He got up, annoyed, and went off. He said to his wife, Səttiye, he said ‘Səttiye, the situation is like this. Mămo and Zine are in a predicament. Let’s set fire to the house. Let’s burn our house so that there will be a cry for help and everybody will come to put out the (burning) house. Mămo and Zine will escape from the house’. She said ‘If it is like that, let even the baby remain in the cradle and also the Qurʿan, but burn everything’. He said ‘No, don’t say that. Bring the baby and the Qurʿan out and we’ll set fire to the house’. The house of Qara Teždin consisted of seven storeys, seven rooms. Now, he set fire to the house. He set fire to the house, it began to burn and there was a commotion and call for help. Mir-Zandin said to Bakurko, who was a lying Jew, he went out and said, Mir-Zandin said to him, look, what noise is that? He went out and saw that the house of Qara Teždin was burning. He (the Jew) said ‘My lord, it is nothing. It is a dog fight and children are watching it and shouting below’. The house of Qara Teždin was burning, but he lied and said ‘It is nothing’. There were shouts for help and a cry. He said to his servant, who had come from the hunt, he said to him ‘Go out and see what is happening. When he went out into the doorway, he saw that the house of Qara Teždin was burning. He said ‘My lord (I swear) by your head, not once, but seven times, that the house of Qara Teždin has burnt down. Qara Teždin is his brother-in-law, that is Qara Teždin had married the sister of Mir-Zandin. Then Mir Zandin was angry and kicked the side of Bakurko and his shoe fell off. They went for help. A while passed with this and that (happening). He said ‘Well, Jew, dirty, cursed dog, for how long will you lie? The house of Qara Teždin is burning and you say that it is a dog fight. Go and get my shoe!’ He went to bring his shoe and saw Zine and Mămo talking together. He said ‘Give me something to eat so that I am not a thorn in your foot’. He said ‘Now, blind man, what can I give you? If you were in my country, I would give you what-ever you wanted. But, I have come to your country. You must help me.’ He said ‘Curses, I’ll be a thorn in your foot’. He said ‘Go! Nothing can be done with you, you dirty Jew’. He drove him out and he went away. He went off, and the people began to extinguish the house of Qara Teždin. His sister Səttiye, Zine sent gifts to Səttiye her sister, now that their house was burnt down, and other things, since she no longer had anything. She sent them to her and people came and rebuilt his house, in six or seven days, since Jazire Bota was a large community. They rebuilt his house, one or two rooms, and he dwelt in them. The next day Bakurko went back and said to Mir-Zandin, he said ‘I’d like to tell you something. It is indeed true, believe me’. He said ‘What is it? You liar Bakurko, tell me’. He said ‘Mămo loves Zine’. There are two of such (women called) Zine. One is his sister and one is his wife. Mir-Zandin thought (he was talking) about his wife. He did not think (he was talking about) his sister. He did not say ‘He loves your sister’. He said ‘He loves Zine’. Now, we do not know (by this statement) which Zine (was meant). He said ‘The wife is honourable, she does not have such affairs, I know this’—and so forth. Bakurko said ‘If it is not so—they are sitting playing chess, revealing secrets to one another, if it is not so cut off my head and also let my property be yours’. This Bakurko had a lot of property. He was a Jew. He had three daughters. Now, he called for Mămo and he came and sat in the reception room, and everybody else sat down in the reception room. They began playing chess. They played three times and Mir-Zandin lost and was unable to beat Mămo. He said ‘What should I do with this man, Bakurko?’ He (Bakurko) ran up and said to Zine, whom Mămo loved, he went up and said ‘Zine, what are you doing here? Go and look out of the window. See your brother and Mămo who are sitting playing chess, the crowd that is gathered there, and so forth’. She got up, looked through the window and saw the back of Mămo (turned) towards her, his back was (turned) towards her. He went down and said to Mămo and Mir-Zandin, he said ‘My lord, may I humbly suggest you change places. Change places’. When they changed places, Mămo’s eyes fell on the window and (saw that) Zine was sitting in the window. He began not to pay attention to the chess. He began to look at Zine. Mămo lost. Mămo lost three rounds. He said to him, he said ‘My suffering is not from this (game), my suffering is from that one at the window. She has killed me and made me lose’. Bakurko said ‘My lord, don’t give your ear to such people speaking’. He said ‘She is asleep in the bed upstairs, in ostrich feathers. She is my betrothed’. Qara Teždin stood up. They wanted to kill Mămo. Mir-Zandin got up and wanted to kill him. Qara Teždin himself said ‘I am Qara Teždin. I have three brothers. We are half brothers. Whoever of you touches Mămo, we shall scatter his blood from here until the palace of the prince’. His brother ‘əkko stood up after him and said ‘I am mad Čəkko. I have bought this sword of mine for a hundred gold coins. Whoever of you moves and strikes Mămo, I’ll chop up his head and cut off his legs, hands and head’. His third brother Səppo stood up. He was more mad (than the others). Nobody dared speak to him in the reception room. Mir-Zandin was annoyed. He went up home. He said to his mother, he said ‘Mother, today the three brothers of Qara Teždin became angry’. She said ‘Why, my dear’. He said ‘The situation is like this’. She said, my son, he has not come after your wife. He has come (since) he loves your sister. Your sister loves him. Before the eyes of these people of Botan, send them (his relatives) off to collect taxes and keep him for a year in prison. Before they return, release him from prison. Marry your sister to him. He is, moreover, the son of a king, he is a great man and a handsome man. Why won’t you give your sister to him?’ He called and said ‘Qara Teždin, ’6ppo and Səppo’, he said ‘Come’. He said ‘Go and collect the taxes of the people of Botan and I shall give my sister to Mămo’. They said ‘If we go, don’t harm him, don’t touch him’. He said ‘No’. They went away for a year. When they had gone, he put Mămo into a cell. A cell is a prison, a jail. He put him there, from day to day until a year had passed. Then they came back. Qara Teždin, Čəkko and Səppo, the three of them came back to the door of Qara Teždin. Səttiye went up onto the roof. She saw that three horsemen had come to the door of the house. While still on the roof she said ‘Qara Teždin from the day that you went away to collect taxes, to collect money for Mir-Zandin, from that day he has held Mămo in prison, until today’. The three of them went, they did not rest but went to the house of Mir-Zandin. They said ‘We shall kill you right now. You have no chance. We shall kill you now’. ‘But why?’ They said ‘We said that you should not touch Mămo. From the day that we went away you have held him in a cell, in prison’. They said ‘You must release him now and marry your sister to him, otherwise we shall kill you right now’. Bakurko said ‘Why should we go down and release him? Let Zine make herself elegant, put gold on her, put on festive clothes and take forty bridesmaids with her. Let her come down and bring them out (with her) and we shall hold the wedding here’. He said ‘That’s true, Bakurko’. She got up. She busied herself, speaking to her forty maid-servants, preparing herself. He, Bakurko, took himself off and ran down to Mămo. He said ‘Mămo, Mămo, I said to you give me something to eat, but you did not give it to me. Now your brothers—you used to say “my brothers”—it has been a year that they have been here but have not asked for you. Now Zine is going to come with forty bridesmaids. She is going to say goodbye to you and marry somebody else’. He did not believe at first. He said ‘Let her marry, I am not the only man. There are those who are better men than me, more handsome, better men’. He did not believe it, until he saw the girl coming. Then, over here, Zine pleaded to God and said ‘Oh God, let him be well until I reach him’. Zine came down near to the prison and he saw her and forty girls with her. She was coming towards him, and he then believed Bakurko. He said ‘She is coming now to say goodbye to me’. He struggled (to move). He had been tethered with chains on his shoulders. He struggled to release himself. The chain went into the veins of his neck and cut them. He fell down. Blood started flowing from his neck. She quickly entered (and found) him. She said ‘Do not struggle. I have come to bring you out of the prison’. He said ‘You have not come to bring me out of the prison. You have come to take my spirit from me’. She said ‘No! I have come to bring you out’—and so forth—‘Don’t struggle!’ He spoke thus and died. When he died, she began to cry in lament and weep, cursing her brother and Bakurko. They came and there they all lamented and sang (dirges) over his coffin. She said ‘Let his coffin be red and white. Mămo died in the morning and I shall die in the evening’. She began to lament over him like that. She said ‘It was Bakurko who was the cause’. She said ‘Bring him to me’. They brought Bakurko to her. Before he went up he said to his daughters, he said ‘Listen. Now I shall go up and Zine will give me poison to drink and burn me. After she burns me, take the ashes and keep them. (When) Zine dies and they put her with Mămo, both together, put this ash on them and then leave it alone’. Bakurko went up, he went up to Zine. Zine said ‘Why did you do this?’ He said ‘I did not do anything’. He said ‘I just talked, I did not do anything. I did not kill him’. She said ‘Give him a bowl, a bowl of water. Fill it with poison and give it to him’. They gave him poison (one bowl) after another, until he fell. They put petrol on him and burnt him. His daughters came, took the ashes, put them all in a cloth and put them aside. She began to ask God to let her also die. She became ill. She did not eat. They began to weep. Her brother Mir-Zandin came and said ‘My sister, do not weep any more. Do not mourn any more. Whoever you love, I’ll give you to him. Say, I’ll give you to him’. She said ‘After Mămo I don’t love anybody and don’t you speak to me. Do not speak! I don’t love anybody. I shall die after (the death of) Mămo’. She began to lament and strike herself. She began not to eat, until she also died. Death befell her also. They put them in the grave both together. The daughters of Bakurko went up and spread the ashes over their grave. A pair of poplar trees sprang up. A pair (of trees) grew over them. There is a hole in the grave. There is a chopper, a chopper to cut wood. A wild vine grows up and winds around those two poplar trees. The first to see the vine growing on those (trees) cuts it down. That place remains to this day. I have left it there and have come here.
