Margi sudkhur – Qissa az Sadriddin Ayni

Man dar solhoi 1312 hijri (1894 melodi), ki talabai madrasahoi Bukhoro ba shumor meraftam, be boshishgoh, mondam va dar Bukhoro, ki taqriban sad dar madrasai kalon va qarib hamin qadar madrasai khurd dosht, baroi man hujrai qobili istiqomate ba zudi yoft nashud. Zero, harchand hamai madrasahoi Bukhoro rasman vaqf buda, kharidu furushi onho az ruyi shariat ravo naboshad ham, dar zamonhoi okhir bo fatvoi³ ulamoi din, ki dar masalahoi dini khilahoi shariro ba kor meburdand, hamai hujrahoi madrasaho ba tarzi kharidu furush mulki khususi shuda ba dasti odamoni puldor aftoda bud va talabahoi faqir dar joyi istiqomat yoftan ba dushvoriho meaftodand.

Dar hamon ruzhoe, ki man dar justujuyi hujra budam, yake az dustonam bo rohi maslihat ba man guft:

• «Qoriishkamba» nom yak kas hast, ki chand dar hujrai zarkharid⁴ dorad, agar az vay pursi, shoyad yake az hujrahoyashro ba tu ba oriyat[*] bidihad.

Bo shunidani in maslihati on dustam diqqati man az hujra dodan yo nadodani on odam ziyodatar ba nomi u kashida shud.

• «Qoriishkamba»?

Dar hakqiqat ham, in nom khele galaty bud. Man medonistam, ki khaltai medai hayvonotro, ki dar on jo khuroki khurdashuda jam meshavad, «ishkamba» menomand. Ammo «ishkamba» nomida shudani odamro dar umri khud nakhustin bor shunida istoda budam va «sabab chy boshad, ki odamro «ishkamba» nomidaand?» guyon dar dili khud taajjub mekardam va in taajjubamro ba on dustam izhor namuda az vay ezoh pursidam.

• Nomi aslii on odam Qory Ismat ast, – guft dustam dar javob, – lekin ishkami on kas kalon ast, shoyad ba hamin munosibat boshad, dar vaqthoi avval baze kason uro «Qori Ismati ishkam» guftaand va baze shirinkoron «Qori Ismati ishkamba» khitob namudaand va rafta-rafta kalimai «Ismat»-ro partofta «Qoriishkamba» guftaandu mondaand va chunonki meguyand, «laqab ravshantar az nom ast», nomi aslii on shakhs az zabonho aftoda dar bayni mardum bo unvoni «Qoriishkamba» shuhrat yoftaast.
• Boyad az kase, ki mardum ba u lakabi «Ishkamba»-ro sazovor didaand, umedi khayre karda nashavad, – guftam man ba dustam. – Bo vujudi in, tu uro ba man shinoso karda mon! CHy zarar dorad, «shavad obi, nashavad lalmi» guyon man az vay hujra mepursam. Agar u ba man hujra nadihad ham, man chy guna budani «Ishkamba-odam»-ro dida memonam. Hudi hamin baroi man yak foida ast.
• Hudam shakhsan bo vay shinos nestam, ki turo shinoso kunam, – guft on dustam, – faqat ky budani uro medonam va metavonam, ki dar yake az kuchaho uro ba tu nishon diham va bad az on khudat roh yofta, bo u shinos shuda, az vay hujra mepursi.

Man ba in taklifi dustam rozy shudam va ba vositai u dar payi yofta, dida, shinokhtani Qoriishkamba afto- dam…

Ruze az ruzho bo on dustam dar labi havzi Devonbegii shahri Bukhoro, ki yagona sayrongohi on shakhr bud, sayohat karda megashtem, ki u yakbora ba hayajon omada:

• Ana, Qoriishkamba hamin odam ast! – guyon kasero, ki ba yak sartaroshkhona medaromad, ba man nishon dod.

Man tanho pushti on odamro dida mondam va chigu-nagii simoyu suratashro muayyan karda natavonistam va dar peshi khud qaror dodam, ki to muysari khudro tarosho-nida baromadani on odam dar hamon joho istoda shaklu shamoilashro tamoman shinokhta megiram va agar rost oyad, bo u shinos shuda, az vay hujra mepursam.

Ammo dustam dar in kor ba man hamrohi nakard va korero sabab nishon doda, az man judo shuda raft va man rafta ba labi sufachai sartaroshkhonae, ki Qoriishkamba on jo daromada bud, nishastam va be on ki ba u fahmonam, saru surat va tamomi kiyofai uro az nazar guzaronidam.

u yak odami miyonaqadi farbehi ishkamkaloni gar- dankutoh buda, gafsii gardan va purragii saru ruyash ham az gafsii shikamash karib fark nadosht, agar rishi kalo- ni gulii monandi alafi gandadarav ba ham pechidaashro, ki tamomi ruyashro furu girifta bud, taroshida me- partoftand, saru tani in odam dar yak jo ba ishkambai kholi kardanashudai shutur monandi paydo mekard, goyatash in ki in az vay kalontar bud, monandi jussai shuturi ba dardi khorish giriftorgardidai muyash rekhtagi surkhchatob menamud.

Bad az didani in guna shaklu shamoili in odam dar dili man guzasht: shoyad mardum na az jihati kalonii shi- kamash, balki az jihati on ki bad az taroshidani rishash tamomi badanash ba yak shikambai kalon monandi paydo mekard, ba u in lakabro munosib dida boshand.

Durust ast, ki shikami in odam az shikamhoi odamo- ni odi az had ziyod kalon bud, lekin gafsii digar joyhoi badanash, hatto gardanu ruyash ham, ba darajae bud, ki on shikami kalon dar peshi onho nomalum va odi shuda me- mond. Binobar in, dar sababi laqabi in odam fikri okhi- rii navisandai in satrho ba haqiqat nazdik menamud.

Navbati muysargiry ba Koriishkamba rasid va sartarosh pokui⁵ khudro sang zada istoda ba u:

• Ba boloi sandalicha marhamat kuned! – guft.

Qoriishkamba, az jihati vazninii badanash yo ba sa- babi yagon bemory, az joyash bazur barkhost va dastorashro az sar girifta khost, ki vayro ba sari mekhi lungiovezii sartarosh monad. Ammo sartarosh ba in kor roh nadod va cholokona tegu sangro ba rafchai peshi oina guzoshta dudas- ta dastorro az dasti Qoriishkamba girifta istoda:

• Sallai shumo karib panjser⁶ vazn dorad va agar ba sari mekh memonded, mekh meshikast va lungihoi man ba za- min galtida chirkin meshudand, – guft bo ohangi hazlomez.

Dar haqiqat sallai Koriishkamba bisyor kalon buda, az dastori har guna mullohoi sallakalon du barobar meomad, bo vujudi in, vay on kadar vazn nadosht, ki mekhi lungioveziro shikanad. SHoyad bar mekhi lungiovezy ba gu- zoshtani on salla roh nadodani sartarosh baroi on boshad, ki vay bisyor chirkin bud va ba boloi lungihoi muysargiry istodani on sallai chirkin sababi nafrati muysargironi digar meshud.

• Hayriyat, ki ba khotiri lungihoyaton dastori maro nigahdory karded, – guft Koriishkamba, – vagarna bo shi- kastani mekh dar katori lungihoi shumo sallai man ham ba zamin aftoda ba khok mejulid, ki baroi shusta toza kardani on panj misqol⁷ sobun sarf shuda, ba man zarari kalon me- rasid.

Haqiqatan ham az pechhoi dastori Koriishkamba guyo, ki dar vay dastmolhoi degshuiro pechonda basta boshad, tasma-tasma chirkhoi ravganolud namoyon bud.

– In guna dastori kalonro har hafta yak bor ba tagorai jomashuyy andokhta shustan mumkin nest, – guft

Qoriishkamba, – dar on surat khonai sobun mesukht.

– CHaro dastorro khurdtar namekuned, ki ham doka kamtar ravadu ham shustanash osontar shuda, sobun kamtar sarf shavad? – guyon sartarosh pursid.

– In sallai man dastori «ertishgiru[†] tuykhur» ast! – guft Qoriishkamba dar chavob, – vakte ki bo in dastor ba sari dafni murdae hozir meshavam, ba har kas yak gaz er- tish dihand, ba man du gaz medihand va inchunin dar tuyho ham tabaki sergushtu ravgani palav ba peshi man meoyad…

Sartarosh chor dahan gap zada, yak bor pokuro ba sang zada, okhir tegro muvofiki tabash tez kard va lungiro ba gardani Koriishkamba basta istoda ba sukhan davom namud:

– Albatta, kase, ki shumoro nameshinosad, na ba chanoza khabar mekunad va na ba tuy, ammo on kasone, ki shumoro meshinosand va ba janozayu tuyashon khabar meku- nand, khoh dastoraton kalon boshad, khoh khurd, ba shumo on muomilaro mekunand, ki shumoro ba on munosib medo- nand. Ba fikri man, baroi in barziyod sarf kardani doka befoidaast.

– SHumo soda buded, barodar! – guft Qoriishkamba ba sartarosh, agar man ba ertishi murdahoe, ki ba janozai onho maro khabar mekunand, kanoat karda megashtam, pas puli muysarro az kujo yofta ba shumo medodam? Man har ruz namozi peshinro dar khonakokhi Devonbei mekhonam va ba on jo har murdaero, ki baroi chanozakhony ovarda boshand, khoh shinos boshad, khoh begona, bad az khondani chanoza ba sari kabrash meravam va ba kadri nasiba ertish girifta megardam.

– SHumo ba muysargiri puli bisyor sarf namekuned, ki baroi in dar tashvish afted, – guft sartarosh, – har kas dar yak hafta yo dah ruz muysar girad, shumo dar du moh yak bor muysar megired va muzdi dastro ham barobari nimai muzdi digaron doda megurezed.

Man az in sukhani sartarosh ogohi yofta, ba sari Qoriishkamba bo dikkat nazar andokhta didam, ki dar haqiqat muysarash monandi zindoniyoni davri amiri ba- land rasida, to peshoni va buni gardanash furomadagi bu- da, torhoi muysarash bo torhoi rishash monandi toru pu- di dar dastgohi bofandagi boftashuda ba ham pechida bu- dand va bar khilofi sarhoi odi dar teppai sarash ba kadri kafi dast yak joyi bemuy ham menamud.

Qoriishkamba az sukhani okhirini sartarosh qadre ba gazab omada va sari khudro az zeri dasti u, ki tar karda molish medod, ba qafo kashid va chashmi khudro ba chashmi u dukhta istoda guft:

• Man khoh dar yak hafta yak bor muysar giram, khoh dar du moh, in kori man ast va ba shumo hej dakhl nadorad. Muysari man khoh baland boshad, khoh past, shumo yak bor teg meroned va baroi muysari baland du bor teg nameroned, ki khizmati barziyod karda boshed. Agar man ba shumo nis- bat ba digaron kamtar muzd medoda bosham, shumo ba shikoyat kardan haq nadored, zero khudaton dida istodaed, ki nimai sari man bemuy ast va shumo ba on jo hej teg nameroned, binobar in, dar vakti muzd giriftan hamin nuktaro ba nazar giriftanaton lozim ast.

Boyad baroi past kardani otashi gazabi Koriishkam- ba boshad:

• Man hazl kardam, – guft sartarosh narmona, – va- garna muzdi khizmati maro khoh kam dihed, khoh ziyod dihed, man az shumo minnatdor shuda megiram va puli shumoro tabarruk⁹ medonam…

Sartarosh sari Qoriishkambaro taroshida shud va lungiro az gardani u kushoda girifta, ba kuttii muysar- don afshonda, khost, ki dubora ba gardani u bandad, to ki dubora tar karda chirkhoi tagi muysarro taroshida girad, ammo Qoriishkamba ba in kor roh nadod:

– Dubora taroshidan lozim nest, – guft u – muyla- bamro kutoh kuned, kifoya ast, vakti barziyod nadoram.

– Magar ba yagon janoza nigaroned? – gufta pursid sartarosh.

– Ne! – guft Qoriishkamba, – agar janozae vokhurad, dar hamin jo – dar sahni khonakoh dar soati duvozdah vo- mekhurad, – va ba soati devorii sartaroshkhona nigoh kar- da, ilova namud, – holo soat dah ast.

– Pas, chi guna kori zarur dored? – sartarosh pursid va hazlomezona boz suol dod. – Magar ba yagon tuy noguft raftan mekhohed?

– Hamin vakt vakti choynushii choshtgokhii khodimoni bonk ast. Agar der monam, az choyi serkandi roygon makhrum meshavam…

Man az hamai in guftuguzorho chize nafakhmida dar hayrat budam va dar dili khud fikr mekardam: «Agar in odam chand hujrai zarkharid doshta boshad, pas charo zinda- gonii khudro, hatto puli muysarashro ba boloi ertishi murdagon mondaast, ki in kori gadoyoni bekasui ast, na peshai odami sarvatmandi chandhuchrador? Agar in odam dar haqiqat gadoi bekasui boshad, uro ba bonk va khodi- moni bonk chi munosibat ast, ki ba sari choyi choshtgokhii onho rasida raftan mekhohad? Digar on ki charo dusti man maro baroi hujra umedvor karda, ba peshi in gadoi bekasu- kuy firistod yo in ki u maro bozi dodan mekhost?..» Va boz dar khud meandeshidam: «Agar dustam maro bozi dodan khos- ta boshad ham, zarar nadorad, chunki in odam odami bisyor ajib menamoyad, in odamro shinokhtan va hamai kirdoru guftorhoi uro omukhtan baroi man, ki tabiatan kunjkov voke shudaam, az hujra yoftan ham bekhtar ast. Dar har hol man in odamro to okhir taqib va dunbolagiri khoham namud. Hujra nadoshtani u yo ba man hujra nadodanash ba in kori man mone nakhohad shud. Har chi boshad, masalai hujra baroi ba dast darovardani in maqsad ba man yak va- sila va bahona khohad shud…»

Qoriishkamba bo kutoh kardani muylabash hatto ba kushoda giriftani lungy muntazir nashuda, az joyash jasta barkhost va to az gardanash giriftani lungy dastorashro az sufacha girifta, ba sari khud guzoshta, shitobkorona az dukoni sartarosh baromad.

• Qoriamak, puli muysar chy shud? – guyon sartarosh az pushtash ovoz dod.

Qoriishkamba be on ki az rohash bozistad va sarash- ro ba tarafi sartarosh gardonad:

• Dar oyanda puli du muysarro yakjoya mediham, – guyon bo kadamhoi kalon-kalon dar yak dakika az peshi sarta- roshkhona dur shud va dar on jo maro muyassar nashud, ki masalai hujraro dar peshi u monam va ba in munosibat bo u shakhsan shinoso shavam.

Bad az baromada raftani Qoriishkamba az labi havzi Devonbegy man ham az on jo raftam va bo umedi dar yagon joyi digar rost ovardani u hamon ruz to begohy ras- tavu bozorhoro sarsariyona gashtam, ammo ba didani u komyob nagardidam.

Fardoi on ruze, ki man Qoriishkambaro dar sarta- roshkhona didam, pagohony dar payi yofta dida shinos shu- dan bo u ba cha baromadam: avval labi havzi Devonbegi- ro gardish karda baromadam va az on jo ba rastai bazzo- zy¹⁰, ki az janubi khonakoh va havzi Devonbegy az shark ba garb meraft, guzashta on joro ham to sesu bo dikkat az nazar guzaronidam. CHun az on joho matlabi khudro nayof- tam, ba rastai chinifurushy, ki az okhiri rastai bazzozy sar shuda az janub ba shimol meraft, guzashtam.

Dar rastai chinifurushy, hanuz dah kadam dur naraf- ta, ba nogoh didam, ki Qoriishkamba ba sari dukoni yak chi- nifurush poyhoi khudro ba zamin ovezon karda, bar labi sufachai peshi on dukon nishastaast va man ham kadre dur- tar az on dar on tarafi rasta, ki mukobili joyi nishasti u ba shumor meraft, bar sufachai yak dukoni darbasta ni- shastam va monandi gurbae, ki mushro mepoyad, be on ki ba khudi u fahmonam, harakathoyashro dar zeri nazari dikkat giriftam.

Qoriishkamba bo chinifurush choy menushid. Dar hamin vakt yak nonfurush, ki ba sarash yak sabad va ba das- tash yak sabadi digar puri non bud, «garm, dastsuz, obash ravgan, ordash shakar, nakhurda namoned, ki dar hasrat me- moned!…» guyon az rasta guzashtan girift.

Koriishkamba nonfurushro jeg zada ba peshi khud ovarda, az sabadi ruyi dasti on du nonro chudo karda gi- rifta be on ki narkhi onro pursad va bo nonfurush savdo kunad, onhoro ba ruyi bodbezak, ki bo vay magasonro ronda nishasta bud, guzosht va guyo, ki puli nonhoro medo- da boshad, dastashro ba jaybash burda, bad az kadre koftukov kardani kisaash dastashro kholy barovarda dar holate, ki nonhoro shikasta baroi khurdan omoda mekard, ba chinifurush:

• Barodar, puli maydaam nabudaast, marhamat karda shumo puli nonhoro dihed! – guyon khud ba nonkhury sar kard.

CHinifurush yak ba non va yak ba Qoriishkamba bo taachchub nigoh karda, okibat az nonfurush narkhi nonhoyash- ro pursida, pasi sari khudro khoron-khoron az galladon pul barovardu ba nonfurush doda uro gusel kard. Ammo Kori- ishkamba na ba chinifurush nigoh mekard va na ba nonfu- rush, u du chashmi khudro bar ruyi bodbezak, ba nonhoi shi- kasta dukhta istoda, burdahoi nonro dukat va sekat karda ba lunji khud meandokht.

CHinifurush did, ki u nakhurad ham, az on nonho yagon burda boki nakhohad mond va harchand Qoriishkamba uro ba nonkhury taklif nakarda boshad ham, yak lukma nonro ba dahon andokhta yak piyola choero, ki dar peshash bud, ba nshidan sar kard. CHinifurush piyolai choyro hanuz kholy nakarda Qoriishkamba dahoni khudro az non chunon pur kard, ki aknun na nonro khoyida metavonist va na harf za- da va u dar hamin holat, az tarsi on, ki chinifurush noni bokimondaro khurda namonad, yak dasti khudro ba burdai okhirini non, ki ba ruyi bodbezak bud, guzoshta, bo dasti digarash ba chinifurush ishora kard, ki zudtar piyolaro kholi karda ba u choy kashida dihad, to ki vay nonhoi nimkhoidai dar lunsh budaro bo yormandii choy furu burda tavonad.

CHinifurush choyi nimsardshudai piyolaro ba zudi nushida, ba on piyola choy rekhta, ba Qoriishkamba doda, bo tabassumi istekhomez nonkhuri va choynushii uro tamosho karda istod.

Qoriishkamba piyolaro ba dast girifta, az jihati garmii choy puf-pufkunon kam-kam nushida, dahoni khudro kadre az non kholi kard va bo dasti digarash, ki hanuz bar ruyi non bud, burdai okhirinro bardoshta, ba dahon an- dokhtu on burdaro hanuz tamom nakhoyida va furu naburda, piyolaro bo choyi bokimondaash ba zamin guzoshta, khud az joy barkhosta ba pesh ravon shud va man ham az dunboli u ba harakat daromadam…

Qoriishkamba hanuz bist qadam roh narafta dar naz- di saroi sanduk dar peshi dukoni yak sandukfurush nishast va man, ki az dunboli u meraftam va dar ru ba ruyi duko- ni sandukfurush choyi munosibe nayoftam, nochor az on jo guzashta, ba durtar rafta nishastam.

Dar vakti guzashtanam az peshi dukoni sandukfurush bo gushai chashmi khud didam, ki sokhibi dukon dar darunta- ri dukoni khud nishasta va chuti khisobro monandi devorcha rost guzoshta va dar pasi vay kadom yak chizi khurdaniro monda, az nazari rokhguzaron pinhon karda mekhurd. Ammo chashmi tezbini zogmonandi Qoriishkamba on chizi khurda- niro dida, ba on jo nishastaast, ki favran ba yak pakhlu yozida va dasti khudro ba pasi chut yozonda, dar khurdani on chizi «pinhon kardashuda» ba sokhibi dukon sharik shud.

Azbaski joyi nishasti man az joyi nishasti Qori- ishkamba dur bud, dar bayni u va sandukfurush chy guftuguzor shudanro shunida natavonistam. Ammo gumon mekunam, ki dar bayni onho guftushunidi barziyod boyad nashuda boshad va hamon vakte ki Qoriishkamba ba sari dukoni on odam nishast, boyad ba khurdani on chiz sarf shuda boshad, chunki bo tamom shudani on chizi khurdany, ki in az chutro az miyon bardoshta ba yak su guzoshtani sokhibi dukon malum meshud, Qoriishkamba ham zud az jo bar- khosta ba roh daromad.

Qoriishkamba dar timcha dar peshi dukoni yak toqiya- furush rost istoda az vay:

In suoli Qoriishkamba taachchubi maro az avvala zi- yodtar kard, chunki shakhsi monandi gadoyon az murdahoi no- shinos ertishgiranda, ba tuyhoi nokhonda rafta palav- khuranda va dar ayni zamon oshnoi nazdiki khodimoni bonk holo dar peshi man tokiyaduz yo in ki toqiyajallob shuda baromada bud. Binobar in, havasi man ba shunidani guftuguzori u bo tokiyafurush ziyod shuda, man ham dar on jo, dar pakhlui u, ammo kadre pasttar az u rost istodam.

– Boyad furukhta boshed, – guft Qoriishkamba ba chavo- bi toqiyafurush izhori nobovary karda, – lekin boyad me- khosta boshed, ki puli onhoro ruze chand dar kharidu furu- shi khud kor farmuda, challonda,¹¹ ba manfiati khud foidai barziyod yobed!

– Magar haminho toqiyahoi shumo nestand?

Bad az on ki Qoriishkamba az oni khudash budani on toqiyahoro tasdiq kard, toqiyafurush dastai toqiyahoro qadre ba tarafi u tela doda ilova namud:

– Bardored, inhoro girifta bared! Maro toqati on nest, ki ham ba shumo khizmat kunam va ham tuhmat shuna- vam.

Qoriishkamba shuridani toqiyafurushro dida, ba uzriy daromad:

– Avval man sukhani shumoro va to hol ba furush naraftani toqiyahoro bovar karda budam, lekin hazl kar- da budam, vale shumo hazlro jiddy donista ba gazab oma- ded.

– Man charo ba gazab omada bosham, man in guna hazlhoi jiddinamoi shumoro aknun nashunavidaam, – guft toqiyafurush dar holate ki az shurish furomada bud.

Qoriishkamba past shudani otashi gazabi toqiyafurushro dida, az u bo choplusy va khushomadiy az rohi digar foida burdan khosta guft:

– Hazlro ba yak taraf monem, jiddy meguyam, ki man hamin ruz ba pul ekhtiyoji ziyod doram, chy meshavad, ki hojatbarory karda puli hamin toqiyahoro, hej naboshad nimaashro, hamin ruz ba man peshaky dihed! Ilohy salo- mat boshed! Dar haqqi farzandonaton ham duo mekunam.

– In sukhanaton hazl boshad ham, durust neyu az tagi dil boshad ham! – guft toqiyafurush bo ohangi jiddy.

– CHaro? – taajjubkunon pursid Qoriishkamba.

– Okhir, shumo az man khohish karda buded, ki toqiyahotonro ba kharidorhoi beruna bo narkhi yakkafurushy – bo narkhi baland furukhta diham. Albatta, dar furushi dona-dona va bo narkhi baland inho ba zudy furush namesha- vand va der memonand. Dar in surat man yak qismi sarmoyai khudro ba moli shumo band karda monam, az kujo paydoyu pa- sandoz mekunam, kharojoti ruzgoramro va ijorai dukonro az kucho yofta megiram va ba har sad tangai qarze, ki az shu- mo doram, bo kadom roh daromad karda, har moh duvunim tanga foida mediham…

Toqiyafurush qadre sokit monda va nafasashro rost girifta ilova namud:

– Biyoed, shumo qarzatonro, ki ba gardani man hast, yak moh befoida, ba sifati qarzi hasana moned yo in ki toqiyahotonro bo narkhi yaklukhtfurushy (bo narkhe, ki vo- furushon¹² az duzandagon mekharand) baho karda dihed, dar on vaqt man hamai puli toqiyahotonro yakjoya naqd ba shumo mediham. CHy gufted, rozy hasted?

• Ne, in kor ba man barobar nameoyad va dar on vaqt man qarib choryaki puli toqiyahoro az dast mediham, – guyon Koriishkamba raftan khost.
• Naraved, nishined! Az boloi puli toqiyahoton ba shumo yak choynik choy dam karda diham, – guft toqiyafurush.

Vaqte ki Koriishkamba raftagor shuda az peshi du- kon ba roh daromad, ba man, ki dar qafotari u istoda bu- dam, chashmi toqiyafurush aftoda:

• Ba shumo chy darkor? – gufta pursid.
• Ba man toqiya darkor, – guftam dar javobi u sukhani digare nayofta.

Qoriishkamba bo shunidani in javobi man az rohash bozgashta, ba toqiyafurush ru ovarda: – Ba in kas az toqiyahoi man nishon dihed! SHoyad yagontaashro dar peshi nazari khud furushonda puli nakd karda giram. Ba Hudo, ki ba pul ekhtiyojam ziyod ast.

Tiyafurush dastai toqiyahoi Qoriishkambaro ba dasti man doda:

Man, ki dar haqiqat tokiya namekharidam, tokiyahoro beparvoyona az nazar guzaronda yake az onhoro ba tokiyafurush nishon doda:

• Hamin chand pul? – gufta narkh pursidam.

Binobar in, uro odamoni sarvatmand dar tuyho va mekhmondorihoi purtantanai khud davat namekardand. Azbaski kharidorash kam va bozorash kasod bud, har kas uro baroi bazme davat kunad, dar yak shab ba du tanga muzd, ki barobari 30 tin ast, rozy meshud.

CHunon- chi, bore sharikdarsoni man, ki az sad nafar ziyoda budand, baroi sar kardani darsi nav az bayni khud 1500 tanga jam karda, 1400 tangai in mablagro dar darskhonai ustodi khud bo nomi iftitohona¹⁹ sarf namudand va bo sad tangai boqimonda khostand, ki ijtimoona tashkil dihand va dar on shabnishiny tanburnavozero davat namoyand.

Azbaski dar bayni sharikon khushovozon bisyor budand va onho bo navbat muvofiqi nagmae, ki Rakhimi Knd menavokht, gazalkhony mekardand, on qadar monda nameshudand. Ammo Rakhimi Knd, ki yagona navozanda bud va to nimai shab beist va be damgiry tanburnavozy kard, digar yoroi ba tor nokhun za- danash namond va vakte ki uro boz ba navokhtan vodor kar- dan khostand:

Agar in duoi turo, ki dar haqqi mullohoi mansab- dori imruza dar haqiqat duoi bad ast, onho shunavand, tu- ro «kharmurd» karda mekushand.

• In kas odami ayolmand meboshand. Ba in kas yak ta- bak oshi sergushtu ravgan kashed, ba ruyash yakto noni tafton pushonda dihed! Mavride voke shavad, in kas ba shumo boz khizmat mekunand, – guft.

Sokhibi i sukhani uro kabul namuda oshro tayyor karda ovard. u pesh daromad va man tanburu tabaki oshro bardoshta az havli baromadam. Sokhibi tuy moro gusel karda istoda ba man:

• Ovarda dodani tabakro az khotir faromush nakuned! – guft. Hamin ki mo az tuykhona chand kadam dur shudem, u ba man:
• Havlii man dar sari rokhi tu meboshad, avval on jo meravem. Bad az on, ki man az osh haqqi khudro giriftam, tu tabakro bo bokimondai osh bardoshta ba khonaat me- ravi! – guft.

Man rozi shudam. Mo bisyor kuchavu paschahoro bu- rida guzashta, okibat ba havlii u rasidem. Malum shud, ki havlii u nisbat ba havlii man az tuykhona durtar buda- ast…

Man, ki juyoi dar kujo budani havlii Qoriishkamba budam, fursatro az dast nadoda va sukhani Rakhimi Kndro

burida:

• Havlii u dar kadom guzar va dar kadom cha buda-

ast? – gufta pursidam.

Dar guzari Kemukhtgaron²⁷, dar okhiri on paschai peshbasta ast, ki vay dar pushti saroyi kafshu mahsi- furushy voke shudaast, – guyon Rahimi Knd ba pursishi man javob doda, boz hikoyati khudro davom kunonid: – Vakte ki ba dari havliash rasidem, u baroi giriftani hissai khud tabaki oshro az dasti man girifta ba havlii darunash burd va bad az chand daqiqa tabaki ruyash ku- shodaro barovarda ba man dod. Nonu gushti oshro tamoman rabudaast, az osh ham takhminan hashtyak mondaast va ravgani oshro to chakrai okhirinash chakonda giriftaast, – guyon Rahimi Qand hikoyai khudro tamom kard va dar okhir ilova namud: – In odam boy boshad ham, bisyor chashmgurus- na budaast, baroi sitondani yagon chiz az hej kor ibo ham namekunadu or ham, bo vujudi in, chashmash ser nameshavad.

Man dar javobi u guftam:

• Harchand Sadii SHerozy guftaast, ki «…chashmi tangi dunyodorro yo qanoat pur kunad, yo khoki gur», man meguyam, ki «chashmi tangi dunyodorro na kanoat pur kunad, na khoki gur».

Badi in sukhan man zud az sufacha barkhostam, zero nishonai havlii Qoriishkamba, ki maksadi asosii onruzaam bud, az gayri chashmdoshti man az on suhbat ba dast daromada bud. Aknun meboist man ba zudy ba khonai u meraftam.

[*] Oriyat – chizero ba kase baroi istifodai muvaqqaty dodan ast. Dar istilohi madrasahoi Bukhoro talabagonero, ki dar hujrai kasoni digar zindagi mekardand, «oriyatnishin» meguftand.

[†] Ertish – porchai suf va yo chit, ki dar vaqthoi pesh dar hangomi dafni murda ba tarzi sadaqa ba kasone, ki ba sari qabr cham omadaand, doda meshud.
