Florists were staggering to the palace with armfuls of flowers; the confectioners stood over their cauldrons, conjuring up halva, sheep-lard pastries, boiled sweets and candy on sticks; two Russian soldiers, prisoners of war, removed the covers from the cannon barrels, which they cleaned with wooden brass-tipped rods in preparation for a spectacular salvo. | Гулчилар саройга даста-даста гул ташиган, қандолатчилар қозонларидан узулмай холваю новвот, пашмагу хўрозқандлар пишириш билан машғул, ўрислардан асирга тушган икки мушакбоз тўпларни уртуксизлантириб, аввалдан тайёрланган ранг-баранг мушаклар учун улкан лўпчиқлар ила тозалашмоқда. |
Hands cuffed, elbows gripped, Abdulla was taken down a dark staircase into the building’s basement. In one of the niches, by the dim light of the caged paraffin lamp, a swarthy Russian stuck his hands under Abdulla’s gown and poked in all his pockets, pulling out everything to the last penny, and then, after feeling his trousers, removed his thick leather belt. ‘Sign this!’ he barked, holding out a piece of paper. Abdulla gestured to his handcuffed wrists. ‘Well, scribbler,’ the guard laughed, ‘you’ve had your itchy little |
Қўлида кишани билан Абдуллани қоронғу бинонинг қоронғу зиналари бўйлаб қоронғу ертўласига судрашди. Ертўланинг бир хонасида темир катакка илинган жинчироқ остида пешанаси кетга кетган бир барзангидек ўрис Абдулланинг чопони остига қўлини тиқиб, чўнтакларини кавлаб, сариқ чақагача бор пулини йиғиб олди-да, сўнг иштонига ёпишиб, ултон қамарини ечди. “Мана бунга имзо чек!” – деб бир парча қоғозни узатар экан, Абдулла қўлидаги кишанга имо қилган эди: “Ҳа, ёзувчишка, қичиган қўлларинг қисқарибди-да!” - деб тиззасига оғир ўтиги билан тепган эди, қимтилаб Абдулла чидаб бўлмас оғриқдан икки эгилди. “Тишла энди ручкани!” - деб ўшқирди бу бандибон жаллод. |
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. |
Less than a week after the bozkashi game, another message came from Chief Minister Hakim in Bukhara to Nasrullo in Qarshi. ‘Your father, our benefactor, has ended his journey on earth and set off for the true world. We keep the fortress’s high gates locked, and we have not yet announced this news to anyone else. Take this opportunity: bring your troops at a gallop to holy Bukhara and occupy the place that befits you.’ Since all the preparations for this outcome had been made, Nasrullo set off for Bukhara that same day with three hundred warriors. |
Ўлоқдан бирор ҳафта ўтар-ўтмас Ҳаким-қушбегидан яна чопар келди: “Падари бузрукворингизнинг жон қуши дорул фанодан дорул бақога риҳлат қилди. Аркнинг ундур дарвозасини берк тутгандек бу хабарни ҳам ҳануз сир тутяпмиз. Фурсатни ғанимат билиб, черик ила Бухорои шарифга чобук қатъи манозил айлагайсиз!” - дея. Тадорик кўрилган эмасми, уч юз навкар ила Насруллоҳ Бухоро томон юзланди. |
Thoughts have strange paths. Where had all this come from? The injuries to his body, Vinokurov’s threats, the immortal Georgian Leader? After all, Abdulla had been thinking only about his children, left to weep on New Year’s eve. |
Хаёл йўллари ажиб. Қаердан келди буниси, танадаги жароҳатлариданми, ё анави Винокуровнинг дағдағасиданми? Ё балки лоямут гуржи пошшони эслаганиданми? Ахир Янги йил кечаси чирқиллаб қолган болаларини ўйлаётган эдию Абдулла. |
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. |
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... |
But no sooner had Abdulla composed this scene than the idea flew away like a spark. What was going on? | Лекин буҳам эмас эди Абдулланинг хаёлидан боя лип этибучган учқунча. Нима эди-я у? |
For a moment, Abdulla didn’t know whether to laugh or to weep. Was there nobody left to keep that monster company, so that he had to remind people, if only the prisoners, that he still existed? Or had he got drunk with the soldiers on guard and was yelling this at them? | Бир зумга Абдулла на кулишини, на йиғлашини билмай қолди. Бу девнинг ҳам атрофида ҳеч ким қолмабдими, ёлғизлигидан мана маҳбусларга бўлса-да ўз зорлигинию, ўз борлигини изҳор этяпти. Ё қоровул аскарлари билан ичиб олиб, уларга ҳайқирганими буниси? |
You’ll spend the new year wherever you spent New Year’s day, as the Russian proverb goes. So, Abdulla, it looks as if you’ll be spending this year in prison. Last time you were let out after six months, but now… Fitrat and Cho’lpon have been languishing here for longer than that time already, and who knows when they’ll be released? There might just be a few walls separating them from you, Abdulla. If you were to yell out like Vinokurov, might you get an answer? |
Янги йилни қаерда кутиб олсанг, йилинг ҳам шундай ўтади, - деган ўрислардан юққан бир ирим бор эди, қамоқда ўтказар экансиз-да бу йилни, Абдулла! Ўтган сафар олти ой деганда қўйиб юборишган эди, бу сафар ана Фитратнинг ҳам, Чўлпониннг ҳам қамоққа тушганига ярим йилдан ошиб кетди. Чиқишидан дом-дарак бўлгани йўқ. Улар ҳам шу атрофдамикан? Бир-икки девор наримикан? Анави барзанги Винокуровга ўхшаб ҳайқирса, жавоб беришармикан?! |
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. |
Oyxon was the eldest daughter of a revered hereditary sayid, G’ozi-xo’ja. She was not yet eighteen, but her many worries made her so serious that she was often mistaken for a younger sister of her mother Qantak. In the first days of the winter of 1232, their city O’ratepa was seized by Umar; all the sayids, including G’ozi-xo’ja, were arrested and shackled. Their property confiscated, they were driven out of their houses into the thick winter snow, crowded into wagons and packed off to Kokand. Oyxon was then fifteen. When they reached Kokand, cold and hungry, they found Umar still angry: he sent them even further, to Shahrixon. The family was so destitute that a flat loaf of bread seemed a gift from heaven, a set of old clothes a precious luxury. |
Ойхон-пошша Сайид Ғози-хожа ҳазратларининг тўнғич қизи эди. Ўн саккизга ҳали кириб-кирмаган бу қиз ёш умрига қарамай кўпни кўрганиданми ўз онаси Қантак пошшога қиз эмас, сингил қатори эди. 1232-нчи йилнинг Жадий ойида улар туғилиб ўсган Ўратепани Хўқанд подшоҳи Амир Умархон босиб, сайидлар паноҳи Маҳмуд-хожаю, бошқа улуғ-улуғ ҳазратларнинг қўлларига кишан солганида, бало Сайид Ғози-хожанинг ҳам хонадонига кириб келди. Қишнинг қаттиқ совуғига қарамай буларнинг барини қор устида зор йиғлатиб бутун борлиғини мусодара қилишди-да, уловга солиб, Хўқанд томон бадарға қилишди. Ойхон-пошша ўшанда ўн беш ёшда эди. Оч-яланғоч булар Хўқандга етишгач, Амир Умархоннинг хожагонга қарши ғазаби битмай, Сайид Ғози-хожаю Ўратепа улусининг бошқа улуғларини ундан ҳам нари, Шаҳрихонга сургун қилди. Ул бечораларни шу қадар талашган эди-ки, бир кулча нон буларнинг кўзларига фалак чархи, жулдур кўйлак эса биҳишт ҳилъатидек кўринарди. |
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... |
Her cousin Qosim was the first to notice the changes in her. He would come to Shahrixon to help his uncle’s family tend the vegetable plot. This time, with his uncle’s blessing, he put off going home, instead finding more jobs to do around the house: repairing shoes, patching up the mud-brick wall, setting up the bread-baking oven – there was no lack of things to do – any excuse to stay on. |
Буни биринчи бўлиб ҳар кўклам Эски-Новқатдан Шаҳрихонга келиб, боғчаларни чопишдаю, экин экишда ёрдам бериб юрадиган амакиваччаси Сайид Қосим-хожа йигитча сеза бошлади. Энди у аввалгилардек ишини битирса, Сайид Ғози-хожа ҳазратларининг дуосини олиб йўлига ошиқмас, балки турли баҳона топиб, бир буларнинг барини ковушларини ямар, бир тандиру ўчоғ атрофидаги сувоқни янгилар, бир деворингиз нураб қолибди, - дея, пахса қаларди. |
G’ozi-xo’ja’s children grew fond of Qosim and lent a hand when he was working, or clung to his side and begged him to make them a clay toy. One of the girls – the youngest but one – insisted that she would be his wife when she grew up. Only Oyxon was reserved in her cousin’s presence, doing no more than what duty obliged of her: preparing tea, serving dinner, making up a spare bed on the floor. |
Сайид Ғози-хожанинг болалари ҳам Сайид Қосимни хуш кўрар, бири унга лой отган, бошқаси хипчин олиб келиб, тойчоқ ясаб бер дея, хархаша қилган, учинчиси “Катта бўлсам, сизга тегаман” – деб ваъдалашган. Фақат Ойхон-пошша ўзини бу амакиваччаси билан сипо тутар, керагида чойига, керагида жойига қарарди. |
