Hayoti Abuali ibni Sino bo Horazmshoh

RUZGORI HORAZM

Barqii oshno, hamon hamsoyae, ki Husayn baroyash dar sharkhi qavonini fiqh asare talif namuda bud, ba tijorat mashguliyat mevarzid, u dar Gurganj, dar poytakhti Horazm mezist va goho ba Bukhoro sargashta meshud. In dafa vay baroi ba Horazm burda rasondani Husayn rozigy dod va hatto az giriftani rohpuly dast kashid.

-Baraks, az man baroi daryoftani sharafi muonisati odame, ki shanu shuhratash peshtar az khudash rohi mepaymudaashro tay namudaast, pul giriftan lozim, – meguft u.

Dar borai tamomi masalahoi darkory shabona dar khona maslihat karda, kitobhoi zarury va chizu chora khele barvaqt omoda shuda budand.

Puli ahli oila baroi ruzguzarony dar holati hozirai narkhu navo ba nim sol merasid. Badi on Husayn ba khidmat daromada, havliyu joy mekharad va ahli khonadonashro nazdi khud davat mekunad.

Bukhoro pushti sar mond. Aknun devoru bomi khonaho ba nazar chaspidai hamdigar namuda, manoraho va darvozai Hadsherun, ki rohi Horazm az on ibtido meyobad, allakay ba chashm namenamudand. Va digar aknun dar kujo budani masjidi jomei binokardai Qutayba farq karda nameshud.

-YAk vaqtho, – guft tojir, – hangome ki padaram avvalin dafa maro hamrohi korvone ba Misr mefiristod, man ham az dur ba shahramon nazar afkanda budam.

Rohi to Gurganj tulony bud. Ba sohili Omudaryo, ba raboti CHigarband az miyoni dehavu rabot va tavassuti biyobonu regzoron rasidan mumkin bud. Dar on jo tavassuti obi loyqavu chirkini rudi nopaydokanore, ki andozai chuquriash nomalum ast, az sohili rost ba sohili chap guzargohe bud. Dar poyonobi daryo margzoru booti purmeva nashunamo doshtand, ammo chand farsakh ba tarafi boloob narafta, regzoroni khushku tashnalab pesh mebaromadand. Ba CHiarband rasidan manoi ba Horazm rasidanro dosht. In joy urfu rasmi khosa, hatto zaboni digarero doro bud, ki on zabon khorazmy nomida, ba osony az zaboni tojiky farq karda meshud.

Husayn dar rabotho khufta, hamrohi tojiron, shuturbonon va silohdorone, ki korvonro az har guna kasoni tasodufiyu rohzan nigahbony mekardand, khurok mekhurd.

Nihoyat onho ba darvozai Gurganj rasidand va daromadpuliro supurdand. Lahzae dahshat onhoro faro girift, zero tamomi chayu khonayu odamon baroyashon noshinos bud.

– Alhol dar khonai man istiqomat mekuny, – guft tojir. – Man az sarpanoh dodan ba tu barin alloma khursand khoham bud.

Dar maydoni markazi gusfand mefurukhtand. In maydon ba Registoni Bukhoro shabohat dosht. Du tarafi maydonro qasrho faro girifta budand. Husayn daru darvozahoi muzayyani qasrhoro duru daroz tamosho kard. Bozargonon va qalandaroni julhundipush girdogirdi darvozaho gashta, katibahoro az nazar meguzarondand va ba alomati tahsin sar mechunbondand. Dar rubaruyi qasri padarash hokimi hozirai sulolai Horazmshohiyon – Alii pisari Mamun baroi khud qasri digare bino karda bud.

Dar guzashtai nachandon dur Gurganj poytakhti Horazm nabud. Poytakht shahri Kiyot bud. Qiyot dar masofai taqriban sivu chahor farsakh boloobtari Omudaryo, dar sohili rost, dar qaribihoi sargahi rudkhona voqe gardida bud.

-SHahri mo olijanob ast. Donandagoni adabiyoti nafisa khele ziyod, nachchoronash hunarvaroni behamto, qoriyoni shahri mo baso khushovozand va dar himmatu khiradmandi kase hampoyashon nest. SHahri mo sarvatmandoni bisyore dorad, molu ashyoi khubu zebo beshumorand! – chunin meguftand ahli Qiyot. – Darbori Horazmshokh, ham dar shahri most.

In guftahoi onon haq bud.

-SHahraton botloqzori buine besh nest. Dar kadom fasli sole, ki nakhohad, ob onro zer mekunad. Tamomi kunju kanorash iflos. Na yaku du musofir dar bevaqti dar kulmakhoi purloyi shumo aftodaast, – chunin meguftand gurganjiyon ba qiyotiyon.

Va in guftaho ham haq budand.

Vale chi iloj, shahri markazi Kiyot bud.

Soli 995 amiri Gurganj – Mamun shahri Qiyotro muhosira namud. Aholii shahr muqobilati durudaroze nishon dodand. Bisyoriho murdand. Mamun shahri Qiyotro girifta, unvoni Horazmshoh, yane shohi Horazmro ham girift. SHahr berahmona gorat karda shuda bud. Bisyorii sokinoni on khonavu darashonro partofta, dar joyhoi digar qaror megiriftand. Berunii chavon ham to quvvai okhirin hamrohi hamshahriyonash muqovimat nishon doda, dar okhir az shahr baromada raft.

Pisari Mamuni Horazmshoh – Aly shakhsi malumotnoke bud. Dar darbori u ham riyozidononu faylasufon va ham tabibonu fuqaho gird omada budand. In guruhi jamomadaro okhirho «Bayt-ul- hikma»-i Mamun nomida budand.

-SHoyad rost nazdi Horazmshoh rafta, dar beruni darvoza muntaziri baromadani u shudan behtar boshad? – maslihat mepursid Husayn az tojir.

-Behtarash, digarkheltar amal namo: ba qabuli vazir Suhayli rafta, biguy, ki tu faqehi. u, ki khud faqehi maruf ast, fuqahoro dust medorad, onhoro bo khushnudivu lutf qabul mekunad.

Baroi nazdi vazir daromadan Husayn sarulibosi makhsuse pushid, albatta, jomai behtarinashro ba kitf andokht. Vale az hama muhimmash durust bastani salla va faromush nakardani taylason bud. Sallaro chunon bastan lozim bud, ki fashi darozash ovezon istad. Fash meboist az tagi manah guzashta, az boloi kitfi rost ba pusht hamoyil shavad. Az boloi kitfi chapash taylason hamoyil bud. Taylasonro ba chelak ham tabdil dodan mumkin bud. Rasmi libospushii fuqahoi onruza hamin khel bud. Faqat az ruyi libosash ki budani on shakhs, olim yo faqehro muayyan kardan imkon dosht.

Ba qabuli vazir rafta istoda, Husayn az kujo sar kardani gapro meandeshid. Vazirro dafatan bovar kunondan lozim bud, ki dar huzuri u na javone bargashtabakht, balki marde dar ilmi fiqh ustod, andukhtai ulumi baqiya va pok az har guna maqsadu niyathoi ahmaqona istodaast va maqsadu niyate dorad, ki ba vazir va Horazmshokh, Aly ibni Mamun tanho manfiat ovarad.

Az iborati avvalin bisyor chizhoi digar niz vobastagi dosht. Masalan, agar Husaynro ba khidmat qabul kunand, baroyash maoshe ham muqarrar menamoyand. Agar ba khidmat nagirand, tabiist, ki dar borai maosh orzue kardan ham galat mebud. Hol on ki pulhoyash tamom shudand…

Ba Husayn ibrozi sukhanoni rahorah andeshidaash lozim naomad. Vazir Suhayli nomi faqehi chavonro shunidan barobar tabassume kardu khudash ba nomburdi fazilathoi upardokht:

-Tabobati hayratovari amir Nuh ibni Mansur… Tanho kasoni nodonu bekhabar Horazmro gushai durdasttarini mamoliki islomi mehisoband. Okhir, mo khabarhoi tozayu navro peshtar az digaron mefahmem. Bist jild asar dar tafsiri fikh baroi Barqi… Meguyand, ki tavassuti onho Barqi behtarin faqehi Bukhoro gardidaast. Vale sad afsus, ki vay onhoro ba tanhoi mekhonad va kasero ba onho nazdikshavi ham nameguzorad. Ammo nuskhabardori shudani onho chi qadar manfiate meovard…

Az in guftaho barmeoyad, ki vazir yo bo khudi Barqi va yo bo yagon shinosi u mukotiba dorad.

Vazir Husaynro ba chalasai ulamo firistod.

-Bar in jalasa khudi Horazmshoh iltifot meovarad va baroi u shunidani muhokimaronihoi donishmandtarin odami zamona khushnudi khohad afzud.

Az hama muhimmash, vazir baroi Husayn maosh tayin namud.

Vazir guft, ki bo tayini mansabe bori Husaynro garon namekunad. Bigzor Husayn mashguli ilmu donish gardad. Va umed dorad, ki Husayn tavassuti kashfiyoti khud ham Horazmu ham darbori Horazmshohiyonro shuhratmand megardonad.

Maosh az        shmdoshti Husayn ham ziyodtar bud.

Vakte ki vazir Suhayly darajai muzdro guft, Husayn bazur az tabassumi shody khuddory namud. Vale, az aftash, kiyofai Husayn asrori uro fosh namuda bud, ki vazir darhol dabirro khonda, guftahoyashro navisond va oazi farmonro ba Husayn daroz kard.

• Pulro khudi hamin ruz giriftan mumkin…

Husayn az shody dar cha roh namegasht, balki medavid. u hamon lahza karor dod, ki baroi tamomi khonavodaashon havlie kharida, ba dodarash Makhmud nomae mefiristad, to molu mulkashonro furukhta, modarashu khidmatgoronro girifta ba Gurganj oyad.

Dar chalasai ulamo odamoni sinnu soli gunogun huzur doshtand. Dar borai bazei onho Husayn peshtar shunida bud. Tabibi nomy Abulkhayri Hammor omad. Qozikalon ham omad. Qozy bo hama ehtiromdorona pursupos kunad ham, bore lar labonash tabassume namedamid. u turshruyona dar choyash nishasta, hamvora khomush bud. Dar miyoni hama javoni khushsurati dar bar libosi kimatbahoi muyinai misry fark karda meistod. Vazir Suhayly oromona ba gushi Husayn guft, ki vay kheshi Horazmshokh,, riyozidoni sokhibistedod Abunasri Arrok ast.

Vazir Husaynro nazdi Arrok burda, ba gap daromad:

• Ijozaa bidihed, Abunasr, ba shumo in javonmard, Abualy ibni Sinoro, ki dar borai hunaru istedodi shifokoriash kayho boz ovozai shukhrat meravad, shinosonam.

Arrok dar hayrat aftod:

• SHumo tabib budaed, – guft u ba Husayn. – Ammo man gumon mekardam, ki vaziri mo boz yagon faqekhro ovardaast.
• Abualy dar fiqh ham na kamtar az tib donishu mahorat dorad, – izhor dosht vazir.

– Dar riyoziyot chy? – pursid Arrok. Va ba Husayn dar borai asari riyozii Beruny sukhan guftan girift.

Vakte ki Husayn az khususi in kitobro donistani khud izhori nazar namud, Arrok khele khursand shud va har du dar rafti sukhangii digaron oid ba kitobi Beruny «al-Osor-ul-bokiya» andesharony kardan giriftand. Qozikalon dar shafati onho menishast va nokanoatmandona junbujul menamud. Sipas Arrok az khususi asbobi navi sitorashinosie, ki Beruny hamrokhi riyozidon Sakhry ikhtiro karda bud, naklashro davom dod. Qozi ba tarafi onho bargashtu nogahon ba gurrish daromad:

-Har chizi dar «Quron»-i sharif nonavishtaro omukhtan ziyodaty va gunohe azim ast!

Vale dar in vakt khudi Horazmshokh, – Aly ibni Mamun, mardi nachandon kalonsoli kavichussa daromada omad. Hama khomush shudand. Horazmshoh nishastu hozironro ham taklifi nishastan namud.

On ruz baromadi asosiro vazir bar uvda dosht. u dar borai tarikhi hukuki meros sukhan rond. Dar borai irsiyati molu mulk dar YUnoni Kadimu Rum, az khususi tarzi merosgirii musulmonon malumot dod.

Bazan amir galat andesha merond.

Sipas, vakte ki ba muhokimai baromadi u guzashtand, Husayn ekhtiromdorona kayd namud:

-Zokhiran, vaziri donishmandu sokhibmarifati mo hanuz fursati khondani asari Beruniro nayoftaand, vagarna ba baze nsahehiho roh namedodand.

Va hamon lahza dar tolor khomushii mudkhishe jory shud. Sony vazir kim-chy khel yak surfai gayrioddie barovard va Arrok az pushti ostini Husayn kashid.

Ammo Husayn andeshahoyashro to okhir ibroz dosht:

-Oid ba chandin masala fikri Beruny digar ast.

Homushy hamon idoma meyoft. Kase jonibi Husayn namenigarist. Hama ba Horazmshoh chashm medukhtand.

Horazmshoh ham orom meistod. Badtar u tabassume kard.

• In chavon kist? Zohiran, u dar majlisi mo bori nakhust ishtirok mekunad, vagarna chunin beistihola nomi madadgori dushmanoni moro ba zabon nameovard.

Aknun har baloe ba sar omadanash mumkin bud.

Husayn bisyor ulamoro medonist, ki rishtai hayotashon dar hamon lahzae kanda shudaast, ki giriftori gazabi hokime gardidaand.

Vale tabassumi Horazmshoh idoma meyoft.

• Nazdiktar biyo, nomatro biguy!

Husayn nazdiktar omad. Poyhoyash, az chi sababe boshad, durust harakat namekardand…

• In chavon Abuali Husayn… – ogoz namud vazir.
• Ba fikri mo, dar surate ki churat karda dar barobari mo on nomro girift, churatash ba bayoni nomi khudash ham merasad.

Husayn nazdiktar omada tazime kardu nomashro guft.

• Aknun ba mo biguy, ki on odam dar kitobi khud az chy khusus harf mezanad…

SHunavandagon ba junbish daromadand.

Husayn faslhoi ba dinu oyin va konunu koidahoi yunoniyon, rimiyon va forsho bakhshidai kitobi Beruniro mukhtasaran nakl namud. Zimnan baze nosahehihoi baromadi vazirro ham isloh kard.

Kase gapi uro nameburid. Hama bodikkat gush medodand.

• Vale donishi khudi tu dar in bobat amiktar ast, – guft Horazmshoh. – Moyon az baromadi nakhustini tu dar jamomadamon kanoatmandem. Ha-a, boz yak chiz… Tu kitobi on odamro dar dast dory? – Horazmshoh ba hech vajh nomi Beruniro ba zabon ovardan namekhost, zero yak vaktho zikri nomi uro man karda bud.

– Nuskhae az on kitob dar dasti man hast, – guft banogoh bo ovozi baland Arroki kheshi Horazmshoh.

Hama aknun ba tarafi Arrok manigaristand.

Tu nakhustin odame hasty, ki dar huzuri Horazmshoh nomi Beruniro girifty, – guft Arrok hangomi az darbor baromadanashon. – Okibati kor bad shudanash mumkin. Hasht sol mukaddam, vakte ki kushuni boboi man ba shahr zada medaromad, Beruny okhirin kase bud, ki az maydoni muhoriba baromadaast. Bad u dar borai boboyam chand latifai dagalu takhkiromeze bofta barovard. Agar u peshtar az in ba in joy meomad, az zindon khalosi nadosht.

Dar majlisi Horazmshoh hama bo yakdigar ekhtiromdorona munosibat menamudand. Agar kase unvoni ekhtiromy nadoshta boshad, kuniyai uro megiriftand. Odamro az ruyi nisbaash niz nom burdan mumkin bud. Husayn metavonist ba khud nisbai Bukhoriro girad, ki daleli bukhoroy budani u mebud. Ammo to vay allakay takhti nisbai Bukhory muarrikhe zindagi ba sar burda bud.

Husayn kuniyai Abualiro dosht.

– Odami mukhtaram boyad lakab yo kuniya va yo nisbae doshta boshad, – meguft vazir. – Tasavvur kuned, ki man ba joe medaroyam, ki dar on joy dah nafar Husayn nishastaand va jeg mezanam: «Husayn!». Hamai on dah nafar yakbora dod gufta mekhezand: «Man!, Man!, Man!». Odamoni okil chunin raftor namekunand. Bekhtarash, man daromada meguyam: «Abualy». Va hamon Husayn, ki man ba u murojiat mekunam, darhol javob medihad, bokimondaho khomush meistand.

Dar majlisho hamaro bo ekhtirom nom meburdand:

Abuismoil, Abulkosim, Abuali va gayra.

Ammo Husayn padar nabud, u zanu farzand nadosht. Lekin ba zudy ba in unvoni ekhtiromy odat kard. Digar hech kas nomi uro namegirift. Fakat Abualy meguftand.

Abualy sayrugashti shakhrro dust medosht. Sahariho khele peshtar az azoni namozi bomdod az khob barmekhost. Misli peshtara bisyor zakhmat mekashid, ilmhoi kimiyo, nujum va tabiiyotro meomukht. CHand kitobi navero ba naksha girifta, baroi onho kaydhoi peshaky menamud.

Alhol Abualy dar khonai hamon tojire, ki az Bukhoro hamrosh omada bud, istikomat mekard. Tochir az u ijorapuly namegirift. Az in ru, Abualy karor dod, ki ba pisari khurdii dahsolai tojir khattu savod omuzonad. Hudi tojir, korvone murattab sokhta, suyi sarzaminhoi ba khud nomalumi sokhili Itil, yane ba mulki Bulor ozimi safar gardid. Az on joy, az shimoltari Bulor, ba poytakhti khorazmshokhiyon molhoi hayratovaru ajibe meovardand. Haftae yak marotiba ruzi panshnbe bozori muina kushoda meshud. Savdogaron dar in ruz muinai har guna hayvonot: samur, kokum, khaz, ruboh, sagoby, khargushro ba furush mebarovardand. Dar karibiho bozori digare bud, ki dar on har guna molhoi kamyobi saklobiro, az kabili pustlokhi tus, shilmi mokhy, ustukhonhoi kalon-kaloni suftavu nugtez, ki onhoro dandoni mokhy guyand ham, aslan dandoni morj budand, mefurukhtand. Abualy dar borai morjho chize nakhondavu nashunida bud. Hatto chunin mokhihoi dandondarozro ba khud tasavvur karda nametavonist.

Bazan u bo farakhmandy molhoi zodgokhi azizashro medidu meshinokht. Harbuzahoi dar aksoi olam mashhuri bukhoriro hatto ba Horazm ham meovardand. Onhoro dar kutihoi kurgoshimini yakhdor mekashondand. Albatta, dar Horazm ham tarbuzu kharbuzahoi joydory bisyor budand, ammo hatto khudi Horazmshoh kharbuzahoi Bukhororo makultar meshumorid.

Badi chande Abualy sohibi shogirdon gardid. Onho odamoni barkamol budand. Ustod ba onho joyhoi nomafhumi falsafa, fiqh va yo ashkoli handasii Uklidusro fakhmonda medod. Va, albatta, beshtar az hama ba Abualy bemoron murojiat menamudand.

Ruze dar bozor u pay burd, ki kim-kadom odami kukhnalibose hamvora az kafoyash megardad. Abualy ba tarafash nigarist, ammo on odam dar pushti shutur pinhon shud. «Boz yagon odami Sulton Makhmud naboshad?» – meandeshid Abualy. Sony Abualy takriban sad kadam zada, chand marotiba roshro kachukileb andokht. Ammo dar hama joy on odam rust shuda-rust shuda uro takib menamud. On goh Abualy ba dukoni tangi sartarosh daromad. Badi chand dakikai tavakkuf ba kucha baromad va hamon lahza ba on odami noshinos barkhurd.

On odam yak kad parida, ba kafo bargasht. Vale bad yakbora ba gap daromad:

– Maro bibakhshed, Abualy, ki shumoro norohat mekunam! Man medonam, ki chande pesh az Bukhoro omadaed. Hudi man ham az Bukhoro omadam, ammo sarulibosam yagon vakt in khel chullu chanda nabud! SHaroit va maylu ragbati donish maro ba chunin holat ovardand. Iltijo doram, yak sari kadam ba khonai man biravem, dar rokh, tafsiloti hamaashro ba shumo meguyam.

«Mabod in dome boshadu maro monandi murgaki nodone ba dom ovarand» – fikr mekard Abualy az pasi u rafta istoda.

In odam kimiyogar budaast. u kitobhoi kadimai sekhru choduro khonda, tavassuti afsungary mekhost, ki az fuluzoti arzontare tillo hosil namoyad. YAk vaktho Abualy ham dar kitobkhonai amir in guna kitobhoro varak          zada,              darhol              chaholatu     nodonii

muallifonashonro fakhmida bud.

-Maksad tamoman nazdik omadaast, – meguft on odam dar rohi khonaash. – Du-se kalimai darkoriro ba kolabi chodu medaroramu bo hamin omekhtai surbu nukraro ba tillo mubaddal megardonam.

Abualy ba khonai on odam daromad. Hona kholy bud. Na palose doshtu na buyi taome ba dimog merasid. Dar kunjhoi khona ankabut tor metanid. Dar sarosari khona iflosivu oazporaho titu pareshon mekhobidand.

Vale khonai digar az anbiku garmkunakho va har guna lavozimoti kimiyo pur bud.

Dar miyonai bog dar chukurie otash alanga mezad. Dar ri alav dege ovekhta shuda bud, ki dar darunash moei obshudai khokistarrangi kalagy dar ekhtizozu junbish bud.

-Vakte ki az chai mo meguzashted, man shumoro didam, – guft on odam, – va hamaro yak su guzoshta, az akibaton davidam, vale jurati murojiat paydo karda nametavonistam…

Abualy hamyonashro barovarda, tamomi pulhoi darunashro ba vay dod.

-Man az arzi minnatdory ba shumo behad khursandam! – guft on mard. – Inshoallokh,, mebined, ki badi chand ruzi digar asrori tillohosilkuniro paydo menamoyam. On goh ba kadri dilkhoh tillo megiram. Bad havlii kalone kharida, onro bo kitobhoe, ki alhol tanho orzuyashonro dar sar doram, pur khoham kard. Sony karzi shumoro dah barobar ziyodtar barmegardonam! Va mumkin ast on vakt shumo az man karz bigired? Mekhohed, ki seyaki tamomi tilloho nasibi shumo gardad?

Abualy tanho kalla mejunbond. u ba kuvvai sekhru chodu va nakshahoi afsungary bovar nadosht. Medonist, ki kalagiro ba tillo mubaddal sokhtan mumkin nest, monandi on ki sargini shuturro ba shutur tabdil dodan imkon nadorad.

– Dar har hol, karzi dodai shumoro dah barobar ziyod barmegardonam! Man inro ba hama nishon mediham! – guft on mard vakti khayrukhush.

Ruze Horazmshoh dar majlis ibroz dosht:

-Mo kitobi Aburayhoni Beruniro khonda baromadem. Dar on barobari andeshahoi dahriyona fikrhoi ajibi bisyore hastand. Bar ilova, meguyand, ki Abunasr bo Beruny mukotiba doshtaast? – Horazmshoh ba tarafi kheshbachaash nigarist.

– Bale, manu u mukotiba dorem.

– Abualy ham dar in mukotiba shirkat dorad?

-Man hanuz dar Bukhoro bo Beruny mukotiba menamudam va baroi kati on bahonae nadoram, – javob dod Abualy.

-Ba nazari mo, khub meshud, ki ham Abunasru ham Abualy az nomi khudashon alokhida-alokhida Beruniro maslihat medodand, ki ba Gurganj oyad. Ba mo guftand, ki Beruny boz ba ilmi obyory ham mashgul ast. Obyorii maydonhoi mo amri vojibest va Beruny dar in bobat tavassuti donishi khud manfiati ziyode khohad ovard. Dar in bora fikri Suhayly chist?!

-Dar in bora fikri man ham az payi fikri amiram meravad, – javob dod vazir.

Lajomi guftugu tarafi digare kashida shuda boshad ham, Abualy ba on durust gush namedod. u khursandy menamud, ki nihoyat ba didori Beruny musharraf megardad. Va allakay mazmuni nomaero, ki ba vay khohad navisht, fikr karda baromad.

Nihoyat onho vokhurdand!

Arrok bo khizmatgori khud maktubchae firistoda, dar on az Abualy khokhish menamud, ki zudtar ba darbor – nazdi u biyoyad.

Abualy zud ba roh daromad.

Aksaran Abualy ashrofzoda budani Arrokro faromush mekard. Hudi Arrok ham nisbat ba khudash yagon munosibati makhsusi tamallukomezro takozo namenamud. u riyozidon va musavvir bud, majlishoi tarabro dust medosht va ba khotiri mashguliyati dustdoshtai khud ba hech vajh masnadi shohiro umed namekard.

Darbori Arrok muzayyanu muhtasham buda, katibahoi devor, ki bazei onho amali khudi Arroq budand, va kolinhoi nakshini Samarqand onro zebu oro mebakhshidand. Sarulibosi khidmatgoroni Arrok ham az sarulibosi khidmatgoroni bisyor ashrofi mashhur kami nadosht.

Dar mehmonsaroyi kaloni Arroq gayr az khudi u boz du nafari digar mezistand. YAke piri fartuti aftodaholu digare javonmardi takriban si-sivusesola bud.

Abuali muysafedro darhol shinokhta, ky budani javonmardro ham zud daryoft.

-Man namedonam, shumoyonro bo hamdigar muarrify namudan lozim ast yo na? – pursid Arroq.

-Magar maro bo Husayn shinos namudan luzumate dorad!? – khitob namud banogoh muysafed bo ovozi giro. – Man uro hanuz az zamoni bachagiash, az hamon vakte ki muallimi khonagiash Husayn hofiz ast gufta tarifho mekard, meshinosam.

In odam Abusahli Masehy bud. Bale, khudi u bud! Hozir u hamrohi Beruny az CHurjon omadaast.

Duvumy, okhir, malum ast, ki Berunist!

Badi chand dakika Beruny allakay bo Abualivu Arrok bahsu munozira menamud.

– Az nomahoya ton daryoftam, ki shumoyon hanuz bar sari fikri khesh mutaqided. Harduyaton imon dored, ki Zamin nomutaharrik ast va Oftobu sitoraho va tamomi jirmhoi osmony dar atrofi Zamin harakat mekunand.

Albatta, bar in moro Batlimusu Foroby talim dodaand. Va khudi man khulosahoi mantikii ononro sanjida baromadam. Zamin nomutaharrik ast, – guft

Abualy.

Hatto bazan ba kutubi mukaddas ham bovar

kardan mumkin nest! – dast afshond Beruni. – Oho! – ba khanda daromad Arroq.

Bar sari tamomi fikru andeshaho mutakidi sakht budanu mubohisai jiddy namudani Beruniro Abualy hanuz khele pesh az maktuboti u fakhmida bud. Beruny kushish menamud, ki dar kulli masalaho akidai khudro doshta boshad, har yak khulosaro dar amal sanjidan mekhost. Dar in choda harduyashon monand budand. Aksaran ba fikru akidai yakdigar rozy nashavand ham, har du ba suyi haqiqat roh mejustand.

-Vakti ba majlisi ulamo raftan rasid, – guft Arroq va sarulibosi Beruniro az nazar guzarond. – SHumo, albatta, mondavu kufta shudaed, imruz istirohat mekuned va yo libosatonro digar karda, hamrokhi mo ba majlis meraved?

-Tayyoram, – guft Beruny. – Ammo sarulibosi digare nadoram. Nisbai man Beruny, yane odami beruna ast va khudi hamin az ky budani man guvokhy medihad.

Arrok khandidu khidmatgorro davat namud.

sarulibosi nav biyor! – guft uro.

Vale Beruny nogahon etiroz namud:

-Man loyiki chunin tuhfai garonbaho nestam…

-Boz inash baroi chy?! – mutahayyir shud Arrok. – Zudtar omoda shuda, raftan lozim, mo takhir karda istodaem…

SHoyad ulamo fakhmida boshand, ki Berunivu Masekhy sashrif ovardaand va yo, shoyad, amri sasodufe boshad, ki dar majlis odamoni gayrimuqarrarii ziyode jam omada budand.

– Umed doram, ki vaqsi daromadani Horazmshoh shuaroi darbor ba poyash nameafsand, ross ba ruyash nigarissa qasida ham namekhonand? – pursid Beruny az Abualy.

– Sulsoni mo Makhmud ness, alhol dar in jo chunin rasmu sarsib ham dida nameshavad…

Suhaylii vazir Berunivu Masekhiro nazdi Horazmshoh burda, harduyashonro shinosond. Onho rasmi sazim ba joy ovardand.

Husaynu Arrok mutahayyirona ba hamdigar nigaristand, zero Beruni bojurat sukhan meguft. Andeshahoi khudro dar kitob ifoda namudan digaru dar huzuri Horazmshoh baland-baland ba ahli majlis talkin namudan digar ast!

– Durust ast, ayni hamon guftaho! – javob dod Beruni.

Badi in ham khursandona ba fish-fish daromadand. In sukhanon ba hama, hatto ba kozikalon, makul aftodand.

– Oyo Beruni ba omukhtani fikh ham mashgul meshavad? – pursid Suhaylii vazir.

– Dikkati maro beshtar ulumi tabiiyot, tarikh, riyoziyot, nujum va madanshinosi ba khud chalb menamoyand, – javob dod Beruni.

– Hub shud, ki doir ba masalahoi dinu oyin kamtar savol dodand, vagarna yagon mojaro barmekhost, – oromona guft Arrok badi tamomshavii majlis.

Beruni mardi zariftabe bud.

Dar on zamon lakabgiri rasm shuda bud. Har odam kushish menamud, ki ba khud lakabe girad. Masalan, Sulton Makhmud «Sayfuddavla» va «YAdduddavla» va «Aminuddin» barin lakabho dosht. Qoziyonro «SHarafulislom» va «Sayfussuna» nomida metavonis- tand. Hatto mardi nochize ham goho sohibi lakabi «Mukhtas», yane «makhsus intikhobshuda» va «Muvaffak», yane «komyobshuda» gardida metavonist. Qozikalon, ki dar tamomi majolisi ulamo dar bari Horazmshoh menishast, unvoni «Sayfussuna»-ro dosht, ki manoyash «shamsheri mazhabi sunni» meboshad. Aksaran u turshruyona khomush istoda, fakat goho ba tarafi sukhangu sar megardond. Har yak iborai mulhidonai dar majlis shunidaashro dar khona navishta megirift.

«Ruze merasad, ki onho dar peshi nazari man misli sag ullos kashida, baroi har yak aklnamoiashon jazoi munosib khohand girift».

u ham Abualivu ham Beruniro chashmi didan nadosht. Hatto khudi Horazmshokhro baroi muloimatiyash aybdor mekhisobid.

«CHilavi onhoro sar doda mondaast! – meandeshid u dar borai Horazmshokh,. – Agar hukumat dar dasti man mebud, hamai onhoro zanjirband karda, shakhr ba shakhr megardondam, ki digaron az bahsu muhokima khuddori namoyand. Ba onho donish bas! Baroi onho kashfiyoti Ilokhi «Quron» kam ast! Agar khukumat dar dasti man mebud!…».

Hushnudona, hokimiyat dar dasti vay nabud.

Albatta, tamomi olimon khissi badbinii ashaddii koziro pay meburdand. Vale kase kushodu ravshan churat namekard, ki gapi uro gardonad.

Tanho Beruni ruze bo ohangi baso ehtiromdorona ba kozi murojiat namud:

– Sayfululamo, marhamat karda ba mo bigued, ki…

Hama kinoyai Beruni va, albatta, kosai tagi nimkosai onro fakhmidand. Va darun-darun dar majlisu kushodu ravshan dar khonaho ba khanda daromadand. Ammo tanho kozi tagi gapro zud nafakhmid. Dar avval u mutakabbirona ba dahon bod girift. Tanho sahari tamomi jarayoni guftuguro ba khotir ovarda, az gazab dandon ba dandon mesoid. Minbad aknun ulamo bayni khud qoziro fakat «Sayfululamo» menomidand.

Beruny bo rafikonash bisyor hazlu shukhy mekard. Dar on davra bisyori odamon baroi nishon dodani fazlu donishi khud kushish menamudand, ki puroburang gap zanand. Har yak odami darbor vazifador bud, ki zebovu masnu sukhan ronad. Be chunin fazilat olimero ba majlisi ulamo roh nadoda ham metavonistand. Beruny chunin navi zebobayoniro mazoh mekard, on guna shakhsonro khandakharish menamud.

Masalan, Abualy bore az Beruny chunin maktubchae girift, ki shoyad on az yagon kitobi araby girifta va yo, mumn ast, az tarafi khudi u navishta shuda boshad:

«YO taksir, mo dar majlise jam omadaem, ki iri tu hama mavchud ast, az hama, juz adami shakhsi tu, kanoatmandem. Dar in jo nargis dida vo kardaast, bunafsha rukh namudaast, chilimi murakkab mashomro muattar mesozad, jildi norinjon chudo aftodaast, zaboni barbatu rud dar sukhanist, voizoni rishtabarpoy barkhostaand, nasimi jomho dar vazishand, bozori lutfu nazokat gardon ast, munodii bazm sadoi khushbosh medihad, sitorai hamtabakon ba kiron omadaast, buyi mushku anbar osmonhoro giriftaast. Kaam ba chonam, agar qadam ranja farmoy, hamroh dar bikhishti jovidony khohem aftod va tu yokuti mobaynii shaddai marchon khokhi gasht!».

Vakte ki «yokuti mobayny», yane Abualy zud baroi mekhmony talab karda shudani khudro fakhmida, khonai Beruny omad, onho bar boloi maktubcha durudaroz khandidand.

Abualy bazan az dodarash ham maktub megirift.

Onhoro shakhsoni mutamad meovardand.

Modarash kasal shudaast. Dar hamon ruze kasal shudaast, ki Makhmud havly va molu mulkashonro furukhta, nazdi Abualy, ba Gurganj, omadany budaast. Modar az joy namekhestavu kanizakon uro nigokhubin mekardaand. Abualy tavassuti nomaho usuli tabobati durusti modarro nishon medod, ammo maslihati kholy foidae namebakhshid.

«Kore kunedu ba Bukhoro barnagarded! – menavisht dodarash Makhmud, – SHumoro odamoni sulton justuju dorand. Onho chand marotiba ba havliton daromada, tamomi kunju kanorashro koftand. Hatto, haramsaroyi zanonro koftukov namudand. Meguyand, sulton farmudaast, ki shumoro zuran nazdi u, ba darbor, doshta barand».

Mahmud dar borai ba darbori volii Amir Nasr guzaronda shudani khud harfe nanavishta bud. Dar on joy uro khub istintok karda, ba kujo raftani Husaynro fakhmidany meshudand.

Dar maktubi dodarash unvoni nomagir kayd nashuda bud. Imzoi nomanavis ham dida nameshud. Mabodo noma ba dasti josusoni sulton ham aftad, onho ba nishoni ky ravona shudani onro pay burda nametavonistand.

Abualy hamrokhi Beruny dar kuchaho sayrugasht kardanro dust medosht. Beruny barmahal az padar yatim monda, bo zakhmatu mashakkati ziyode sokhibi malumot gashta bud.

– Dar shahri mo yunonii nasronie zindagy mekard, – nakl mekard Beruny. – On vakt man shtsola budam. Man ba nazdash har guna rastanihoro meburdam, u nomi onhoro meguftu khosiyatashonro yak-yak bayon mekard. Bad ba man baroi mutoliai kitobhoi lozima dastur medod, johoi nomafkhumashonro mefakhmond. Aksar vakt ba man kitobhoi khudashro medod. Hatto sarfu nakhv va sabki arabiro khudam mustakil omukhtam. Ruzona kor mekardam, ba korubori khojagii modaram yory merasondam va shabona mashguli ilmomuzy meshudam.

– Muallimi man… – guft Abualy va dar borai Notily naqlho kard.

Ruze Abualy tasodufan az zaboni shakhse fahmid, ki Notily dar hamin jo, dar beruni shahr madfun ast.

Har du bo Beruny ba ziyorati qabriston raftand. Abualy vaqti bozgasht ba qabristonbon pul dod, to qabrro durusttar nigohubin kunad.

Abualivu Beruny faqat dar tanhoy doir ba kulli masalaho ozodona suhbat karda metavonistand.

– Bore bo man fuqaho tamomi ruz bahs karda, guftand, ki obi favvoraho ba irodavu khosti Hudo bolo mejahad. Okhir, chaholatu nodonii khudro tavassuti bayoni qudrati Hudo pushonidan khandaovar ast! – tasdiq menamud Beruny.

– SHoyad, dar haqiqat, on vuchud doshta boshad?! – mekalavid Abualy.

– Ky vuchud dorad?! – ba gazab omad Beruny.

– Hudo! Mumkin ast, avvalan on ba tamomi jarayoni inkishofi koinot takone doda boshadu hozir hayot az ruyi qonunhoi khudy, khud ba khud, jarayon girifta istoda boshad?!

Agar in guftuguro qozikalon meshunid, sari onhoro khudi Horazmshoh ham az buridan nigoh doshta nametavonist!

Ba vuchudi Ilohy shak ovardan?! In chunin mano dorad, ki ham Musovu ham Iso va ham kulli payombaroni digar galat kardaand! In chunin mano dorad, ki Muhammad Hudoro kashf nanamudaast! Hamchunin, <{Quron»-ro ham na Hudo ba vositai farishtai CHabrail bayon namudaast, balki khudi Muhammad ofaridaast! Boz in chunin mano dorad, ki chizi asosie, ki dinu davlatu hayot bar boloi on sokhta meshavand, aslan kim-chy guna durugu khatost!

Ore, baroi chunin andeshaho na tanho qozy, balki har yak musulmoni mutaqid betavaqquf az bahri hayoti ham Abualivu ham Beruny guzashta, onhoro baroi mulokoti Hudo firistoda metavonist, to dar on dunyo binandu fahmand – Hudo hast yo ne!

Az in sabab, Abualivu Beruny fakat dar tanhoy suhbatu maslihat mekardand.

Ammo folbinu jodugaron dasta-dasta dar khiyobonu maydonho ovora megashtand va mardum kavli onhoro bovar mekardand. «Avliyoh0»-i nodonu johil va folkushoyoni beaklu bekhirad dar masnadi ehtiromu izzat budand. Har sahar dar bozorho ajoibotu garoiboti nave az dahan ba dahan meguzashtand.

Ruze dar vakti chunin sayrugasht Abualivu Beruny sadoi gulogulaero shunidand. Badi lahzae az havlii nazdike zabonai otash bolo baromad. Abualy on joyro shinokht. Dar on joy hamon kimiyogare, ki tavassuti sehru chodugarii durudarozu tokatfarso az fuluzoti arzon tillo hosil kardany bud, zindagy mekard.

Odamon ob zada alangai otashro khomush mekardand. Obro dar mashku kuzaho mekashondand. Kimiyogar dar karibihoi darvozai shahr mezist va kanali az Omudaryo jorishavanda az turmi hamon darvoza meguzasht.

Onsutar ostini sukhtai jomae mekhobid. Muysafede bo poyhoyash otashi onro khomush mekard.

Bad az miyonai ohanporavu angishtlakhchaho jasadi kolabgumkardai kimiyogari badbakhtro kashida barovardand.

Honai u zarare nadida bud. Beruny oazporahoro cham ovard. Kimiyogar dar onho kaydhoi khudro meguzosht. Abualy ba khondani kaydho daromad.

Ba joyi tillo kimiyogar tavassuti mubodiloti kimiyovy ba giriftani moddai khavfnoki tarkanda – simobi munfajira noyil gardida bud. Va, zohiran, az tarkishi hamin modda murdaast.

Kimiyogar chandin usuli az ishkorho hosil namudani fuluzotro kashf karda bud. YAk khudi hamin korash obruyu etibori vayro ziyod karda metavonist. Ammo kimiyogar inro hatto pay naburda bud.

Ba majlisi ilmy Horazmshoh bo tabi khush omad. Imruz navbati bahsi fukaho bud.

Har yak surai «Kuron» bo tabiri «Bismilloh- ir-rahmon ir-rahim» ooz megardad. Mohiyati onro har yak faqeh ba tarzi khud mefahmid, har yake ba tariki khud sharhu tafsir medod. Hatto yak olime, ki ziyoda az sad tafsiri in iboraro jam ovarda bud, ba nomburdi onho sar kard.

Berunivu Abualy az in mubohisa dilgir budand. Onho khomushona dar borai masoili digare suhbat mekardand.

– Nihoyat imruz man ba talifi kitobe dar borai paydoishi kuhu biyobonho sar kardam, – guft Abualy.

– Dar borai paydoishashon?! – mutahayyir shud Beruny.

– Mefahmy, man andake gayrimuqarrary budani in masalaro medonam. Tamomi musulmonon chunin mehisoband, ki hayoti ruizaminy dar yak ruz va baroi chovidon sokhta shudaast. Hatto bokhiradtarin ulamo meguyand, ki kuhho az ibtido kuhu biyobonho biyobon budand.

– Man ham az in khusus fikr kardaam, – guft Beruny, – vale baroi raddi sukhanoni onho dalelu burhoni kote nayoftam.

– Dar khotir dory, vakte ki ba obyorii zaminhoi tashnalab mashgul budivu hamrohi tu ba Horazm raftuomad mekardem, dar hayrat meaftody, ki baroi chy man dar obkandahoi sohili daryo junbujul doram va ba chukurii daraho furobaro mekunam? Man on vakt karor dodam, ki to muddati muayyane fikrhoi khudro az tu nihon doram. Tu ham, ehtimol, mushohida karda boshy, ki kishri zamin monandi katmol az kabathoi gunoguni mutafarrika iborat ast. Dar pushtahoi bodkhurdai biyobonho man nogahon sadafi bakhry va bokimondai rustanihoi shakhshudaro daryoftam. Ba kadom roh onho dar in joy, dar kullai kuhhoi yak vaqtho sarbaland paydo shudaand?! Malum meshavad, ki in kuhho zamone kari bakhr budaand, dar in joy mohiho shino mekardaand, rustanihoi bahry alvonj mekhurdaand. Ammo tamomi kutubi ilokhiyot andeshai digarero pesh meronand. Onho meguyand, ki olam ba karibiho, hamagy chand hazor sol pesh va dar muddati chand ruz az ri khostu irodai Hudo sokhta shudaast. Vale yagon olim in akidai fukahoro rad nakardaast.

– Mayli rad mekardand, ruzashonro medidand! – Beruny tabassumi purdarde namud.

– Vale dalelu burhon, tabiat va akli odii solim muttafikan dar borai chizi digare jor mezanand! – guft Abualy bo hayajon. – Dar borai zamone, beshakku shubha, kari bakhr budani bisyor biyobonho hatmy yagon asare navishtan lozim! Vale on johoe, ki hozir dar amoki ob mekhoband, mukarrar, domanai kuhu dara buda, dar onho rustanihoi kukhy merustand, az onho daryochaho chory meshudand. Va ham on kabati khoke, ki holo khele bolo baromadaast va az on man bokimondahoi hayvonoti bakhriro yoftam, na du va, hatto, dah hazor sol peshtar, balki ziyodatar az on kari ukyonuse budaast. Okhir, kuh dar tuli hazorsolahoi daroz bodkhurda meshavad. Ba har nav, – dar in jo Abualy tabassume kard, – albatta, ulamoi dinro ham ranjondan lozim nest! Az in ru, karor dodam binavisam, ki har yak zukhurot, albatta, bo khostu irodai Ilokhy rukh medihad.

Dar in lahza Horazmshokh,, ki zokhiran u ham az bahsi fukaho ranchur gardida bud, Abualiro nazdi khud khond.

– Mo fakhmidem, ki Abualy holo ham misli peshtara dar khonai kasi begonae zindagy mekunad? – pursid Horazmshokh,. – CHunin holat ba mansabi ilmie, ki Abualy onro dar darbori mo ishol menamoyad, hech muvofikat namekunad! Mo baroi Abualy panj hazor dinor hadya mefarmoem. Bigzor u baroi khud tamomi lavozimoti darkoriro bikharad!

«Badtarini odamon kasest, ki tanho mekhurad, ba savorii bezinu afsor savor meshavad va gulomashro mezanad» – chunin makole dargard bud.

Abualy na asp doshtu na gulom. u khonae kharidan mekhost, ammo dar khona tanho zistan imkon nadosht. Hidmatgore paydo kardan lozim bud.

– Mekhohed, yake az khidmatgoronamro ba shumo bibakhsham? – pursid Arroq.

– «On bandae, ki ba joyi digar aziz buda boshad, makhar, ki agar vayro aziz nadory, bigrezad, yo furukhtan khohad, yo ba dil dushmani tu shavad», – ba joyi javob Abualy in guftaro khotirrason namud.

Abualy ba bozori bardafurshn ravon shud. uro pisari kalonii tojir hamrokhy menamud.

– Bisyoriho gumon mekunand, ki gulomkhary az chumlai savdogarist. Ammo gulomkhary va ilmi on az chumlai faylasufist, zero kharidor khislatu fazilathoi gulomro boyad bidonad, – kalongirona bahs menamud dar davomi rokh, pisari tojir.

u dar tamomi roh bidir-bidir karda, ba Abualy dar borai jinsi gulomon vazi durudaroze mekhond, az betachribagii Abualy dar hayrat meaftod.

– Alomati gulomi dono va ruzbeh, – meguft pisari tojir, – chunin ast: u boyad rostqomat, mutadilmuy va mutadilgusht, safedi lalfom, pakhnkaf, miyoni angushtonash farokh, pakhnpeshony, shakhlochashm, kushodaruyi behad khandonruy boshad. CHunin gulom dar ilmomuzy, kotiby, khazinadory va har shugli digare hamchun shakhsi boetimod kor medihad.

Abualy guftahoi uro be yagon dudilagy gush mekard.

• Agar gulomi farokhabru, azrakchashm, pilkhoi didaash durushtu ashkar, labu dandondaroz va farokhdahon boshad, bepul dihand ham, nagired. CHunin gulom besharmu hayo, nopok, beadab, sharir va balojuy meshavad.

Okibat onho ba bozori bardafurushy rasidand.

Bozor az masohati chorkunjai bolokushodae iborat buda, girdogirdashro devorhoi pastake faro girifta budand. Darunash az rakhravhoi tangaku khonachaho iborat bud. SHabona gulomon dar in khonachaho khufta, ruzona onhoro ba dukonchahoi savdo mebarovardand.

Dar daromadgoh gushi Abualiro sadoi balandi jorchy karib kar karda bud.

• Dukhtaroni dilkhohatonro intikhob karda metavoned! Dukhtaroni siyohchardai nubiyoy; dukhtaroni khunyogari khindy; dukhtaroni sap-safedi silloby; dukhtaroni turku yunonivu barbary! Dukhtaroni tabi dil, faqat ba khonadonhoi bonufuz furukhta meshavand!
• Gulombachahoro dar nimai daruntar mefurushand, – guft pisari tojir.

Onho az nazdi dukhtarone, ki liboshoi safedu surkh pushida budand, meguzashtand. Dar simoi dukhtaron beparvoii mutlaqe zokhir megardid.

Banogoh chashmi Abualy ba dukhtari navrase aftod. Dukhtar pisarchai takhminan panjsolaero orom medosht. Pisarcha poyluch buda, dar tan ezorchai darozi begonae dosht. u baland-baland girya mekardu dukhtar tabassumkunon ba vay chize meguft, vale dar chashmoni dukhtar anduhu tars khona doshtand.

• Dukhtaraki khub, khattu savod dorad, khurokpaziro medonad, surud khondavu raqs karda metavonad, – nazdik omad gulomfurush, – dastomuzi zanaki bomany! Huchainzan, Hudo choyashro channat gardonad, ba kariby murd, baroi hamin kheshovandonash tamomi molu mulkashro mefurushand. Tu hamin pisarchaatro daf mekuny, okhir, yo ne!? – dod zad u ba sari dukhtarak. – In dodarchai ust, – gulomfurush az nav tarafi Abualy ruy ovard. – Man allakay onro furukhtam. Hozir omada mebarand.

Pisarak in guftaro shunida, boz ba girya daromad va dukhtarak labro ba lab gazida, az tabassum bozistod.

• Ha-a, – dast afshond gulomfurush va darhol beparvoy zohir namud. – Honabononro ho-o dar on gusha mefurushand!

Onsutar mardoni miyonasolro mefurukhtand. Gulomfurushon bo tamomi ovoz malumotnoky va akli modarzodi onhoro tarif mekardand.

Gulomoni bisyore budand, ammo Abualy peshi poyi khud nigarista az nazdashon guzashta meraft.

Abualy az nazdi on ham guzashta raft. u ba chashmi yagon odami dar in jo furukhtameshuda nigarista nametavonist. Ba chashmoni purharosi bemoron nigaristan va bo nigokhi bovaribakhshi khud ba onho umed bakhshidanro odat karda bud.

Abualy akib, tarafi baromadgoh bargasht.

Onho bori digar az nazdi on dukhtar guzashtand. Allakay pisarcha nabud. uro, zohiran, khujainoni nav burda budand. Dukhtarak aknun zor-zor megirist. Ammo furushanda hakorati sakhtash medod.

Dar nazdikiho kharidore nabud, az in ru, furushanda har gapi ba dahonash omadaro meguft.

Furshnda, guyo, ki fikr karda istoda boshad, khomush shud.

Abualy darrav dast ba hamyon burd.

Baroi Abualy chunin kharidufurush makul nabud.

Bazeho dandonhoyashonro bo omekhtai angishtu namaki suda safed mekunand, ammo dandonhoi in khudashon sap- safedand! Zaboni khorazmiro ham medonad. Tanho baroi khotiri shumo barin odamoni khub uro ba navadu du dinor mediham!

Abualy pulro dod. Furshnda qabola navisht. Dar in qabola gufta meshud, ki khuchaini haqiqii minbadai dukhtar Abualy ibni Sino meboshad. Sony furshnda choyi istiqomati onhoero, ki pisarcharo kharida budand, malum kard.

Onho az bozor baromadand. Pisari tojir barobari Abualy qadam mezad. SHirin andake qafotar meomad.

Pisari tojir gururashro davom medod:

Va sababi hamaash dar on ki mo kam jang mekunem. Sulton Mahmud bahri gazavoti Hinduston baromadaast, az in ru, gulomoni u bepuland. Ammo gulomon dar in jo sadho dinor arzish dorand.

Pisari tojir savdoi durudaroze kard.

Abualy tabassume kard.

Nihoyat pisari tojir bo rangu ruyi surkhu gazabnok berun omad.

• Baroi chy?! – guft dukhtarak tarsida-tarsida.

Pisari tojir az hayrat hatto chashmaky zada mond.

• Holo, ki tu az nav bo dodarchaat hamroh shudy, harduyaton ba kujoe, ki khohed, rafta metavoned.
• Mo joyi raft nadorem, – guft dukhtar. – Honavu pul ham nadorem. Har kase moro gam doda metavonad. SHumo khujaini mo hasted va moro dar manzili khud joy dodanaton lozim ast. Mo boyad tamomi darkhostu farmoishoti shumoro ijro kunem…
• Mebakhshed, Abualy, vale shumo ba in dukhtarak haqiqatan rokhi nodurustero nishon doda istodaed. Agar kori khayre kardany boshed, onro to ba okhir rasoned. Onhoro dar havlii khud joy doda, ekhtiyoji hayotashonro tamin kuned!

Bisyor khub, ki Abualy havlii furushiro allakay az nazar guzaronda, dar borai narkhash ham guftugu karda budaast. Narkhi havli du hazor dinor bud. Qolinho, har guna tajkhizoti digar va chinivoriho boz yakunim hazori digar arzish doshtand.

Ba kharidufurush pisari tojir mashgul bud. u in korro bo tamomi hasti anjom medod, baland-baland savdo mekard, bahsu munozira menamud.

Dar yake az shabnishiniho Masehi porchahoero az kitobi navakak anjomdodai tibbiash khonda dod. Hamai muhokimon kitobro tarif mekardand.

Ammo khudi Masekhi kanoatmand nabud.

-Zakariyoi Rozi dar bist jild asari tibbie navishtaast, ki baroi az joe ba joe burdanashon shutur lozim meshavad, – guft Masekhi ba Husayn. – Vale, barobari in, dar kitobi mazkur bisyor chizho aftodavu bisyore az CHolinusu Bukrot rubardor shudaand. Kitobi digartare darkor ast, ammo kase onro to hol navishtt natavonist. Man ham natavonistam. Zarur ast, ki on kitob tamomi donishhoi tibbiro faro girad, ammo hajman on kadar kalon naboshad. CHunin asarero fakat odami bokhiradi sokhibi khotirai amik va akli burrovu kalbi otashin ofarida metavonad. Man aknun chunin kitobero navishta nametavonam.

Husayn khost az khususi kaydhoi peshakii kitobi tibbii khud ba Masekhi nakl kunad, ammo khuddori kard.

Aksar vakt hamrohi Masehi ba tabobati bemoron mepardokhtand. Masekhi az mahorati Husayn dar anik muayyan namudani bemoriho va az ruyi nishonahoi bazur malume fakhmidani sababi kasaliho dar hayrat meaftod. Hamrokhi Masekhi jarrohi mekardand. Husayn dar in jo ham az omuzish boznameistod, agarchi Masekhi bovar dosht, ki donishi Husayn allakay az u guzashtaast.

Onho hamroh dar ozmoishgokhi kimiyovii Arrok tajriba meguzarondand. Hudi Arrok az kimiyo dast kashida, beshtar ba riyoziyot mayl menamud, ammo ozmoishgoh boky monda, tamomi lavozimoti darkoriro dosht. Goho ba Abualivu Masehy Beruny ham hamroh meshud. Onho dar on jo har guna tachriba meguzarondand. Abualy hamrohi Beruny ba nujum ham mashaul megardid.

Imshab Abualy baroi talifi asari buzurgi tibbii khud, hamon asare, ki vakthoi okhir fikru niyatash az sari u hech dur nameshud, avvalin kaydhoi peshakiro ri koaaz ovard. Dar kitobkhona sham mesukht.

Dar khonai digary SHirin gashtuguzor dosht. u zeri lab kim-chizero zamzama menamud, dodarchaash allakay khobida bud.

Banokhost az khonai tojir odame davida omad.

– Ba havlii mo gumoshtagon omadand, onho hanuz dar kucho budani havlii navi shumoro namedonand. SHumoro favran ba darbori Horazmshoh mekhonand! – meguft khidmatgor hishshas zada istoda.

«Dar on jo chy hodisa ruy doda boshad?! – az fikr meguzarond Abualy, liboshoyashro pushida istoda. – Mabodo Horazmshoh kasal nashuda boshad?!»

Dar daromadgohi darbor Abualy bo Masehy rubaru omad. In donishmandi kuhansolro ham davat karda budand. Dar tolor onho boz Beruny, Arrok va, hatto, Hammori tabibi khosai Horazmshohro didand. Suhaylii vazir ham hozir bud.

Horazmshoh ham daromada omad.

-Hidmaatoron firistoda shudand?! – pursid u vazirro.

– Bale, kase namond, – davob dod Suhayly.

Sony varaki yakchand muhrdorro barovarda nishon dod.

• Imruz az jonibi Sulton Makhmud odami nomdore noma rasond, – gapro sar kard vazir. – Pagoh sahary Horazmshoh ba sharafi u ziyofat medihad. Dar in varak farmoni ba Horazmshoh firistodai sulton sabt gardidaast.

Vazir ba khondan daromad. Dar avvali noma unvonho zikr yofta budand, ki vazir onhoro tez-tez khonda, bad sari maqsad omad.

«Fakhmidem, ki dar majlisi Horazmshoh yakchand mardoni ilme hastand, ki hamtoi khudro nadorand. Lozim meshavad, ki Horazmshoh onhoro ba majlisi mo bifiristad, to sharafi huzuri majlisi moro daryoband va mo az ilmu donishu istedodi eshon pushtibony ba amal ovarda, az Horazmshoh siposguzor khohem bud».

Vazir nomaro khonda tamom kard va hozirin chand daqiqai digar khomush mondand.

• Dar borai pushtibonii u mo bisyor shunidaem, – guft Beruny.
• Hudo chunin pushtu panokhro ba kase nishon nadihad!

Vale hama khub medoned, ki Sulton Makhmud puriktidor ast, davlatash ham gul- gul meshukufad, khukumatash ustuvor, u tamomi khoki Huroson va yak kismi Hindustonro zabt namuda, holo ba Iroq lashkar mekashad. Mo az noilojy bo vay dusty mekunem. Tanho baroi nigoh doshtani oromii mamlakatamon maro lozim omad, ki khohari uro ba zany bigiram. Mo farmoni uro ba inobat nagirifta va maylu khokhishi uro ijro nakarda nametavonem. Hudaton aknun ba sari khulosae biyoed va karordodi har yakatonro ba zudy malum namoed!

Hama chand daqiqa khomush mondand.

• SHakhsan man ba darbori sulton rafta nametavonam, zero nasroniyam va ba huzuri u raftan barobari zindony shudan ast! – guft Masekhi
• Man ham ba nazdi Sulton Makhmud nameravam. Gumoshtagoni vay allakay maro dar Bukhoro justuju dorand, – izhor dosht Abualy.
• Ba shumoyon az ijroi farmoni sulton gardan toftan mumkin ast, – ba gap daromad Hammori tabib, – zero khorazmy nested. Lekin man gush nakunam, holi Horazm taboh meshavad.
