‘Hold on, Vinokurov,’ said one of the men who had searched Abdulla’s house. ‘Watch you don’t finish him straight away, we’ve only just brought him in! I’ve still got to interrogate the son of a bitch.’ This man, evidently in charge, wished Vinokurov a Happy New Year before he left, presumably to celebrate with his own family. |
“Қўй, Винокуров, - деб аралашгандек бўлди уйда тинтув қилганлардан бири, - келиши биланоқ ўлдириб юборма! Ҳали бу ифлосни сўроқ қилишим керак! Пока же в одиночку!” - деб буйруқ берди-да, анави онағар Винокуровни Янги йили билан табриклаб, ўзи уйга, оиласи билан байрамни кутгани кетишини айтдию маҳбусни Винокуров қарамоғида қолдирди. |
You get used to physical pain: you synchronise your breathing to its throbbing waves, you are ready for the waves to surge up and you can wait for the waves to die down. But the pains of humiliation are unbearable, and it is impossible to endure the suffering caused by your own helplessness. At first Abdulla attributed Vinokurov’s brutality to the fact that he was a Russian, but he then recalled that among the men who searched his house there had been an interrogator who spoke Uzbek like a Tatar, replacing all his ‘j’s with ‘y’s. |
Лўққиллаган оғриққа ҳам кўникса бўларкан: нафасингни оғриқ тўлқинларига мослайсан-да, бу мавжнинг авжини атайин кутасан, лекин адолатсизлик аламига чидаб бўлмайди, кучсизлик азобига бардош бериш қийин. Абдулла аввалига анавининг бағритошлигинию юрагини анор қилиб эзган бу оғриқни унинг ўрислигига йўйди, бироқ уйидан чиқаверишида афтидан андироқ татар терговчининг “ий”лаганроқ талаффузидаги гаплари эсига тушди: “Сини биз билябиз. Уртақларинг барлиғини бизгя йеткургянляр...” |
In prison you can’t avoid getting a kicking. In 1926, too, Abdulla had been beaten within an inch of his life. What made his blood boil was not the physical pain so much as the treachery of his own people, black-eyed blood relatives whom he had trusted and considered to be friends. Back then he’d begged for death’s release: that would have been easier to bear than the company of his own black-eyed friends. He’d been too young then: he hadn’t thought of his children, nor of Rahbar. |
Қамоқ борки қамоқда тепки емасдан қолмайсан. 26-нчи йили ҳам Абдуллани ўлардек тепкилашган. Унда ўзининг эгиз ўзбеклари. Лекин унда ҳам юрагини қон қилгани бу тепкилару муштлар эмас, ўзи ишонган, ўзи дўст деб тутинган қора кўзларнинг хиёнати бўлган эди. Ўшанда шу қора кўзларга қайта қараш ўрнига маҳкамадан тузукроғи уни отиб ташлашни сўраган эди. Ўшанда бебок ёшлик ғурурида на бола-чақасини, на Раҳбарини ўйлаган экан... |
Had Rahbar given the children the oranges he’d meant for them? Tomorrow (but wasn’t it tomorrow already?) Abdulla had planned to take them to see the New Year fir at the Railway Workers’ Palace, where the biggest and best celebrations were supposed to take place. Last year the children’s favourites had been the trained dogs which answered questions and took turns pulling each other round on sleighs. Would Rahbar take them this time, and would they be allowed in if she did? Might they find themselves turned away at the doors, as the family of an arrested man? His heart sank at the thought. |
Бердимикан Раҳбар-бону болаларига аталган норинжларни? Эртага (ё аллақачон бугунми?) Абдулла болаларини Темир йулчилар саройига арча байрамига олиб бориши керак эди. Темир йулчилар саройида арчаларнинг ҳам энг каттаси, томошанинг ҳам энг сараси бўлгич эди. Ўтган йили болаларига айниқса одам гапига жавоб берувчи қирриқ итлар ёққан эди. Кейин бу ажойиб маҳлуқлар бир-бирини чанада басма-бас тортиб кетишган эди. Олиб борармикан Раҳбар болаларини, ё олиб борса-да энди қўйишмасмикан уларни? Эшик тагидан ҳайдармикин баттоллар, қамалганнинг болалари деб? Юраги бирам эзилди болаларини эслаб. |
Abdulla recalled a day from his own childhood, when he had dressed up in new trousers and an Uzbek gown to go to the Christmas tree celebrations. The caretaker at his Russian-language school stopped him at the school gates. ‘Have you become a kaffir now?’ the man grumbled, raising his stick to deal Abdulla a terrific blow on the thigh. The literature teacher, seeing this, hurried over and rebuked him: ‘This is a celebration of the birth of Jesus son of Mary, and Jesus is a prophet of yours!’ Abdulla’s leg was bleeding and his new trousers were stained; he ended up visiting the hospital instead of the Christmas tree. The teacher drove him all the way home, in his own carriage: a Russian, who had defended him from an Uzbek. No, generosity or meanness had nothing to do with nationality. |
Бир куни ўзининг болалигида ерли рус мактабида ўқиятган чоғи ҳавас қилиб башанг янги шим, янги чопонда арча байрамига келаётганида мактаб қоровули Холмирза-тажанг эшик тагида тутиб олиб: “Сан ҳам копир бўлдингми?” - деб балдоқи билан бола болдирига аямай тушириб қолганида, буни кўрган адабиёт ўқитувчиси Георгий Евстигнеевич, чолнинг олдига келиб, тоза сарт тилида: “Ахир Исо ибн Мариямнинг милоди бу. Исо сенинг ҳам пайғамбаринг-ку!” - деб айтганини эслади Абдулла. Ўшанда янги шимию оёғи қонга буланиб, арча байрамининг ўрнига Георгий Евстигнеевичнинг извошчигида аввал касалхона, сўнг уйига қайтган эди у. Йўқ, саҳоватинг ҳам, разолатинг ҳам миллати бўлмас экан. |
As a drop becomes a rivulet, and a rivulet a river, and a river a torrent, so the men broke into the fortress in a matter of hours, pouring in until they had flooded it. The wounded prince Husayn rode through the open gates as the new Emir. Despite extensive searches, the rebellious vizier Hakim was nowhere to be found. Shortly afterwards he appeared before the Emir of his own accord, carrying the severed head of his chief of artillery. ‘Forgive your servant: I was in the grip of ignorance, when this ungrateful dog started firing |
Томчи сув кетидан фаврак, фаврак кетидан оқим, оқим кетидан сел келганидек, бир заҳоти оламон Аркка сизди, ёпирилди, босиб кетди. Яраланган шаҳзода Ҳусайн Аркка амирсимон кириб борди. Бузғунчи Ҳаким-қушбегини қидиришди, ҳеч қаердан топишолмади. Ўшанда бир пайт, тўпчи Ражабнинг олинган калласи қўлида, Ҳаким-қушбеги Амир олдига ўзи чиқиб келди. “Бир қошиқ қонимдан кечинг, ғафлат уйқусида қолибман, мана бу кўрнамак эса сиз Хумоюн ҳазратларига Арк дарвозасини очиш ўрнига ўт очибди!” – дея, кўплаб тавозеълар қилди. Ҳусайн-тўра унинг гуноҳидан кечиб, марҳум отаси йўлида ўз вазири қилиб тайинлади. |
The next day Husayn was crowned Emir, but he did not hold power for long; a mysterious illness forced him off the throne in less than three months. The doctors failed to conjure one of their miracles, and Emir Husayn left this world of sorrows. When Nasrullo heard what had happened, his thoughts turned to his master chef, who he had only recently sent to serve his brother Husayn as a peace-offering: ‘Seems the bastard took his arsenic with him’. Then he gathered his army and set off for Bukhara once again. |
Эртасига Ҳусайн-тўрани Амир қилиб тахтга кўтаришди, бироқ тахтни эгаллаганидан сал ўтмай, Амир Ҳусайн бир номаълум касалга чалиниб, масиҳонафас табибларнинг муолажа уринишлари зое кетиб, салтанати уч ойга етар-етмас дунё омонатини қўлдан бой берди. Насруллоҳхон баковулини ҳадъя тариқасида саройга юборган эди, “Маргимушини ҳам ўзи билан олиб кетибди-йўв бу аблаҳ!” - деб ўйлади ўзича у, яна черигини Бухоро томон тортар экан... |
His father was right when he said that a man can be in thrall to devils, especially if he is a writer. You have only to set to work to be gripped by your plans and inventions, and everything else seems vanity, triviality, a distraction. Over the last month Abdulla had covered reams of paper, having told himself: If I can sit down on my own this winter, I will finish writing the novel. And now all those hopes had been dashed. The Tatar NKVD man had found the manuscript, stuffed it in the only suitcase in the house, and taken it |
Чиндан ҳам отаси айтмиш, жин босар экан, ёзувчи одамни. Ишга киришдингми – зикру хаёлинг ана ўша тўқимада, қолгани - фақат алахсиш, фақат чалғишдек туюлар экан. Ўтган ой ичида анча-мунча қоғозларни қоралаб қўйди Абдулла, айтмовдими: “Шу қиш узлат қилиб ўтирсам, қиссани ёзиб битказаман” - деб. Афсус, ишнинг белига от тепди. Анави анди татар топган қўлёзмасини уйдаги биттаю битта жомадонга босиб, ўзи билан олиб келди. Ўқирмикан барини? Эскичага кўзи ўтармикан? Ё яна ўзининг қора кўзларидан ёллаб, уларга ўқитармикан? |
Why hadn’t Abdulla begun his story with a description of the bunch of grapes? He might have got away with saying that this was just a little sketch of a fictitious gardener. But now his pieces would certainly damn him. Thoughts have strange paths, indeed. |
Нега ахир узум ғужумидан бошлагани йўқ, боғбонлар ҳаётидан бир асарча деб қўя қолармиди. Ҳали бунисини ҳам унинг бўйнига қўйишса керак. Хаёл йўллари ажиб. |
He had only recently been thinking about Umar’s first marriage in 1220 to Nodira, daughter of the governor of Andijan. Abdulla had carefully worked out all the details of the matchmaking, the wedding ceremony obligatory for any marriage in the East. So why had his thoughts switched from one marriage to the other? Why does it happen that you get carried away writing about something and suddenly a single word or sentence makes you deviate from your original idea? |
Мана, боягина ҳам Умаршоҳнинг биринчи тўйи ҳақида ўйлаётган эди. Андижон ҳокими Раҳмонқулибек ҳижрий 1220-нчи сана, ўз исмат пардаси ортидаги қизи Моҳларойимни Амир Умархонга узатгани ҳақида ёзиб битирганларини, қуда-андачилик машмашасию, тўй-тугун дабдабасини хаёлидан кечирганди. Аммо негадир бу тўйдан хаёллари иккинчи тўйга кўчиб кетди. Недан бу? Недан ёзаётган чоғинг ҳам бир нарсаларни мўлжаллайсану, бир сўзми, бир жумла баҳона мутлақо айрича саҳнага ўтиб кетасан. Хаёл йўллари ажиб. |

Take now, for instance: is Abdulla trying to lull his sense of pain and humiliation? Or are the habits of many years taking over so that even here, lying in this God-forsaken place, after letting his head fall on the pillow and saying his evening prayer, he lets his thoughts roam free of whatever was shackling them, free of anything that has nothing to do with the task in hand: writing? But he hadn’t yet pronounced the words of the prayer, ‘I lie down in peace’… | Бадану руҳ оғриғини тахайюлига белаб, улоқтирилган ерида ўзини уйқулатмоқчими Абдулла? Ё йиллар давомида орттирган одати - бошини ёстиққа қўйиб: “Ётдим тинч” дуосидан сўнг хаёл жиловини озод қўйиб юбориши бу ерда ҳам, муздек ва зах цемент устида ўз кучини кўрсатяптими... “Ётдим тинч”ни ўқигани йўқку ахир... |
Abdulla had described every detail of Khan Umar’s first wedding: the ceremony in the state palace, the dancing and the games, the laughter and the joyful voices. The drumbeats that shook the sky’s blue dome when the people heard that the newly-weds had retired. The intoxicating joy which foamed in chalices while the sound of music filled hearts with delight and ecstasy. | Амир Умархоннинг биринчи тўйини эринмай ёзган эди Абдулла. Давлат саройидаги жамшидий базм барпосинию, ўйин-кулги ва шодлик садосини. Иқбол ноғораси овози осмоннинг зумрад гумбазини тутишинию, масрурлик овозаси одам аҳли қулоғига етишини. Қувонч бодаси шодлик қадахида кўпирганинию, муғаннийлар навоси юракларни шавқу-завқ ила ўпирганини... |
For a third time Umar sent a matchmaker to G’ozi-xo’ja’s house: this time it was the talkative Hakim, Umar’s sister’s son, a relation which made him a mahram, a man entitled to enter the harem. The Emir was wary of letting an outsider see his future bride’s beauty, but he could allow his nephew to behold her. Only the matchmakers and the girl’s father, whose white brows were wet with sweat, knew what was said during the negotiations. Realising that it was impossible to play with fire, G’ozi-xo’ja reluctantly nodded his agreement. | Ҳа, учинчи сафар Амир Умархон Ғози-хожа хонадонига совчи қилиб шайхулислом Маъсумхон-тўра ҳазратларининг ўғиллари одамохун Муҳаммадҳакимхон-тўрани юборди. Ҳакимхон айни пайт Амирнинг жияни бўлиб, маҳрамларидан эди, ўзгалардан қизғанса-да, Амир совчиланган қиз чиройини ўз жиянидан қизғанмади. Орадан не гаплар, таҳдиду-ваъдалар ўтди, фақат совчиларнинг ўзларию, оқ қошларини тер босгану дами ичига тушиб кетган Ғози-хожага маълум. Қандай бўлмасин ўт билан ўйнаб бўлмаслигини тушуниб етган Ғози-хожа чор-ночор бошини розиликда ирғабди. |
It was now New Year. Happy New Year to you, Abdulla! You said that if you could sit down for one winter, you would finish your novel. Clearly, you didn’t say inshallah at the time. But you had sensed the danger. Writers as well-known as you had already been arrested – Fitrat and Cho’lpon, G’ozi Yunus and Anqaboy – hadn’t they? Were you really likely to be left alone? When you tell a horse to ‘Chuh’, you have given it a bit more rope. He can go on writing for a bit, they would have thought, we’ll squash him when the time is ripe. |
Янги йил ҳам кирибди. Янги йилингиз муборакбод, Абдулла! Бир қиш ўтирсам қиссамни ёзиб битираман, - деган эдингиз. Худо хоҳласа демаган экансиз-да ўшанда. Кўнглингизда бор эдию бу хатар, ахир Фитрату Чўлпон, Вадуд Маҳмуду Ғози Юнус, Анқабою Элбекни олиб кетган жойда сизни тинч қўйишармиди?! “Чўҳ”- деса кетадиган от экансиз, арқонингизни узунроқ ташлаб қўйишган экан-да, “Қани ёзиб турсинчи, роса қизиғида босамиз”, - дейишган эканми. |
Ah, he now remembered the spark that had just flashed in his head: Umar’s nephew Hakim waiting for the newly-weds, who were concealed behind a curtain on the first night of their wedding. Abdulla remembered Hakim’s book Selected Histories, almost by heart. |
Ҳаҳ! Эсига тушди бояда миясида чақнаган анави учқун. Муҳаммадҳакимхон-тўранинг чимилдиқ пойлагани. Деярли ёд олган “Мунтахаб ат-таворих”ни эслади Абдулла. |
Because of his youth and naughtiness, your humble servant continued sitting by the curtain and, following the path of disrespect, raised a corner of the cover to hide under it so that he could enjoy the spectacle of the Sun meeting the Moon. The wine of desire foamed in the throat of Emir Umar- xon, and the moisture of shame appeared on the face of the beauty, like drops of dew on a rose. Moments of tenderness and elegant caresses were becoming more and more wild: the buyer’s desire grew, while the mistress of the goods gave ever greater concessions. For rain, ready to show the cloud’s final aim, was now about to pour down on the field of desire. The flower bud, submitting to the playful brazenness of the wind, was forced to unfurl its petals and turn itself bright red. And since the innate urge of the flower bud was to bear fruit, it opened fully under the force of the wind, so that a pearly drop now fell on its pollen. |
Аммо камина ҳам айни ёшлик даврим бўлгани учун ва ҳам бир томони шўхлик қилиб ҳеч ёққа қўзғалмадим ва беадаблик йўлига кириб чимилдиқнинг бир чекасида бекинганча, ул ой ва қуёшнинг яқинлашувини тўйиб томоша қилдим. Ҳуллас ўша чоғда Амир Умархоннинг димоғида жуфтлашиш шароби кўпирди, ул дилрабо юзида эса ҳаё тори шабнам донасидек намоён бўлди. Нозу-ниёз лаҳзалари қизиди - ҳаридор иштиёқи кучайиб, мол эгаси мулойимлиги ортди. Чунки орзу кишининг булути мақсадини ҳосил қилиш учун мурод пардаси ортида шай турарди. Гулғунча шамолнинг уятсизлиги натижасида қабога бандини ечишга мажбур бўлди ва ўзининг гулгунлиқ оғушига солди. Омонлик суманининг ғунчаси мақсади ҳосиллик насими ҳилпираши сабабидан оғзини очди ва мақсуд бўстонидан кумуш ранг садафга симоб гавҳари томчилади. |
By whispering these words as if they were a prayer, Abdulla found that he could order his thoughts and see everything clearly. Hadn’t he just responded to Vinokurov’s roar with a burst of laughter? That was why he had recalled Hakim hiding behind a curtain. For a second, he felt as if he were Emir Umar’s nephew, except the curtain was now a stone wall and enclosed not a love scene but a death act. Wait, wait! This was no time to drop the reins. Watch out, don’t let a torrent of flighty thoughts sweep you away! If you ignored the superfluous florid style, the scene was described splendidly, especially the beginning and the end. Yet it seemed to have propelled Abdulla in an entirely different direction. |
Абдулла бу сўзларни дуосимон пичирлар экан, хаёли ҳар томонга тўзиди. Қийшиқпешона Винокуровнинг наъраси ҳам унинг кулгисини қистатмаганмиди ҳозиргина. У ҳам ўзини бир зумга чимилдиқ кетида писиб ётган Ҳакимхон-тўрага менгзатди, рост, бу чимилдиқнинг деворлари тош, остида эса севги эмас ўлим ҳукмрон эди. Тўхта, тўхта! Жиловни қўлингдан чиқариш вақти эмас бу. Учқур хаёлинг обқочиб кетмасин сени. Жимжимадоргилиги демаса саҳна ажойиб ёзилган, айниқса бошию кети, лекин Абдулла ундан азбарои бошқа туртки олди ўхшайди. |
When they arrived at their place of exile, G’ozi-xo’ja’s family somehow built themselves a hovel to protect themselves from the fearful cold. They now had to live on what their father could earn by teaching children of the local poor to read and write, while Qandak and Oyxon made embroidered skull-caps. They embroidered in silk, but wore coarse calico dresses. All their earnings were spent on food. To relieve her father, Oyxon taught her younger siblings herself, putting them to bed at night, telling them fairy stories and writing verses for them. |
Қиш қаҳратонида яйдоқроқ ерда бир кулба қуриб Сайид Ғози-хожа маҳалладаги учта-тўртта майдага дарс ўқитиш ила, Қантак-пошшо билан Ойхон-пошшо эса дўппи тикиш ила кун кўриша бошлашди. Дўппи гулларини ипакдан тикишса-да, ўзлари бўз кўйлак кийишди. Топган-тутганлари фақат қора қозонни қайнатишига етиб турди холос. Кичик ука-сингилларини - отасини уринтирмасдан - ўзи ўқитди Ойхон-пошша. Уларга аллалар айтди, эртаклар тўқиди, ғазаллар битди. |
The sufferings Qantak endured gave her a swollen goitre the following winter, and she developed a cough which she could not shake. G’ozi-xo’ja managed to get some deergrass to make an extract, which he gave her to drink. But nothing was of any use: by spring Qantak had departed this treacherous world, leaving behind five motherless children. There was a great deal of mourning and lamenting. The eldest daughter became her father’s sole support, a substitute mother to her siblings. Oyxon had been embroidering ten skull-caps a week; now she had to embroider twenty. Her doe-like eyes became as sharp as a blade and she herself as quick and nimble as a panther. She bathed, fed, nursed and taught the children, attending, also, to her prematurely aged father: her voice became as sweet as honey served in porcelain. |
Ютган аламлариданми, иккинчи қишга бориб, Қантак-пошшанинг аввалига буқоғи шишиб кетди. Кейин битмас йўтал ёпишди. Сайид Ғози-хожа аллақаердан кийик ўти тилаб келди, уни қайнатиб ичиришди, ёрдам бергани йўқ, кўкламга етар-етмас беш болани тирик етим қолдириб, Қантак-пошша бу вафосиз дунёдан кечди. Зор-зор йиғлаб қолишди булар. Энди Ойхон-пошша отасига ягона суянчиқ, ука-сингилларига она ўрнида қолди. Илгари ҳафтасига ўн дўппи тиккан бўлса, энди йигирматадан тикди, ўшанданми шаҳло кўзлари икки ўткир ханжардек чархланди, укаларини ювди, таради, ўқишию ошига қаради, ҳаракатлари сиртлоннинг урғочисидек енгилу эпчил бўлди, бирданига мункайиб қолган отасининг синиқ кўнглини асраб-авайлаб чегалади - овозлари чиннидаги қиёмдек ширалади... |
