Translation:

(1) Now we shall begin the story of Mămo and Zine. Mămo was in ʔAlān and Zine was in Jazire Bota. The jinn of heaven made a plan. They gathered together and said 'We want to find a very handsome boy and a very beautiful girl. (We want) both to come together. We shall bring them together and marry them'. (2) Now, they sat down and made a plan. They saw Zine in Jazira Bota and Mămo in ʔAlān. They started arguing with one another re-garding whom to take to whom. 'Should we take Zine to Mămo or Mămo to Zine?' They said 'No, a woman is treacherous. She will have her husband killed. Let us take Zine to Mămo'. (3) So, at night they seized Zine and brought her, they took her to Mămo. They took her to Mămo. They slept. She woke up and pushed Mămo (out of bed). She said 'Why have you come and slept in my bed?' (4) He said 'Woman, it was not me who came to sleep in your bed. It was you who came to sleep in my bed. If I have come to sleep in you bed, call your servants, your maids, their names are Šalem and Surma. Call them! If they answer you, then indeed it is me who has come to you. If they do not answer you, you have come to me'. (5) She called Šalem and Surma, but they did not give her any reply. She began to weep. Mămo stood up and called Bangina his servant. He said 'Bangina, you are a very honourable person. I don't want anything from you. Bring a lamp in your hand and come here to me. (6) Look at this beautiful girl, who has fallen asleep with me, so that tomorrow, if I speak (about it), I shall not be consid-ered a liar and you will give your consent to say "Yes, it is true, there was a girl sleeping with him."' (7) He came and brought a lamp in his hand. He entered and saw Zine with Mămo. Bangina returned. His servant returned and went to his room. What did they do? They exchanged rings and scarves (pledging themselves to one another) until the day they died. (8) They both slept. He put a dagger and a sword, one opposite the other, so that they would not touch each other. In the morning, the jinn came and took Zine, took her away to Jazira Bota. (9) Mămo awoke and got up, but like a mad-man. He did not see the girl who had been with him. He only found the scarf and the ring on his hand. He said 'Where should I go? Who should I look for? Who should I ask so that I can find out where she has gone and who has taken her away?' (10) He came and sat down in front of the door of the house. His father came. He said 'Ah, my son, Mămo, why are you sitting (looking so) sad?' He said 'Father, the situation is like this'. (11) He said 'This night a girl came and slept with me. I got up in the morning and did not find her. I don't know where she has gone'. He said 'My son, don't listen, they are little demons, they make themselves (into things) in the daytime (and make themselves) beautiful at night and come into the dreams of young men like you'. (12) He said 'They would come into also my head when I was young. They would come into my dreams. It is a dream, it is a vision, not (anything else)'. He said 'Father, but whose is this ring and scarf? Here is a ring and here is a scarf. How can I make myself lie and say that they are not real?'  (13) His father was confused. He said 'What should I do now?' He got up. The father of Mămo was an important man, he was an elder. He spoke to the people (there) and brought horsemen, three hundred horsemen. That is horses and people on their back. (14) He said 'Go and at every day's stage (of the journey) a hundred of you will return. You will say "We have not reached Jazira Bota. We do not know where it is."' Three hundred horsemen went off. Every day a hundred returned. Everyday a hundred returned. (15) The three hundred horsemen returned and said 'We have not found where Jazira Bota is'. Mămo himself was forced (to go). He sat on the back of his horse, he and his servant.

(16) They came along the road. They came along the road a long way. For two or three days they were on the road without food and without drink. The servant Bangina said to Mămo, he said 'My lord, where are you going? We have killed ourselves these three days and three nights. Neither are we eating nor are our horses eating'. (17) He said 'Sit down. Let's rest a little. We shall pray to the Lord God for us to find where the road is'. Now, they sat for a while. They began talking, and so forth. They ate something and gave their horses some food. (18) Now, the servant said to the master, he said 'My lord, where should we go?' He said 'We shall go to find where Zine is. But we do not know where she is, in what place she is, what the road is'. He said 'I cannot come with you in that case'. The servant got up and re-turned. Bangina returned. He (Mămo) remained alone. (19) He began to think. He was (immersed) in this musing for three days without eating or drinking or sleeping. (Finally) sleep stole him away and he slept. Jinn came and took him. They took him away and put him on the mountain of Jazira Bota.
(20) When Zine went away, when she went home — she had a sister, Səttiye, (there were also) Naze and Zine, they were three sisters. Səttiye was the oldest one, Naze the middle one and Zine the youngest. (21) She said to her sisters 'My sister Səttiye, you take this ring of mine. I have a fiancé, but I cannot put it on my hand. I have a fiancé, whose name is such-and-such', and so forth. (22) She took the ring. Zine put it on the hand of Səttiye, her sister. She was married to Qarateždin. Now, when he (Mămo) came down (from the sky) and came to the top of the mountain, the sun shone on him and he said 'May your name be praised, Lord God, who have brought me here together with my horse'. (23) He said 'I think this is the town. I'll go down and ask what town this is'. Now, he went down to the spring. He and his horse went down to the spring. He saw some girls there. He greeted them. (24) They said 'Welcome. (You have come) from there to here, Mămo!' He said 'From where do they know my name?' He was surprised. What did he do? He said 'I'll ask'. There were there three other girls, those of Băkurku the corrupt Jew. He had a lot of land. He was the servant of Mir-Zandin. (25) Mir Zandin said 'His daughters will go (and get married), he will die and his land will become mine'. His daughters were by that spring. They had heard about Mămo from Zine, since they were the servants of Zine'. (26) He said 'Let me ask you  something. What town is this? They said 'This is Jazira Bota'. 'Is this Jazira Bota?' They said 'Yes'. He said 'Where can I lodge as a guest?'  They said 'If you are a good man, with Qara Teždin. If you (have come) with the business of a prince, with Mir-Zandin. If you have come to fornicate, then with our father Băku'. (27) 'Oh' he said 'May you be cursed! It would have been better if I had not asked you'. He mounted the back of his horse and went off. He went up and said 'Wherever my horse stops, (I shall stay) there'. … What time is it? It is seven in the morning. (28) He went up … He stopped before the door of Qara Teždin. The palace of Qara Teždin was on the mountain. He could see all the town. He went up and his horse stopped there. He struck the sides of the horse so that the horse would move from there. The horse did not move. (29) He dismounted and took the horse of Qara Teždin. He pulled it from the grass he was eating and tied his own in its place, then went up. He went up and knocked on the door. He went up and knocked on the door and Səttiye came out. (30) When Səttiye came out, she saw him and her heart was broken.  She began to faint  and he caught her. Slowly he took her and put her on the bed. (She fainted) because Mămo was handsome. He put her on the bed. Then Qara Teždin said to her 'Make something light (to eat) for this worthy guest of ours. I'll just go down to the town to bring food and come back'. (31) Qara Teždin set off and went down to the town. She got up and made coffee. She brought the coffee and served it. His eye fell on his ring. He said 'Ah! She is married, and I did not know'. (32) They are sisters, you see, and they resemble one another.  He said 'She is married and I did not know'. He got up and did not drink the coffee. He sat on the back of his horse and went back down to the spring, the spring to which he had come previously. (33) Qara Teždin returned home and said 'Ah, wife, where is the guest?' She said 'By your head, what should I say? I prepared coffee for him and served it, here it is. As you drank, he also (was treated) in the same way'. (34) 'But why, why? Did you not say something to him?' And so forth. She said 'By your head, what should I say, Qara Teždin?'. He said '(How could it be that) I am Qara Teždin, the collector of taxes and the like of the people of Botan, and a guest comes like this into my house and leaves without me knowing where on earth he was going! I (have the power) to drink water (even) from the clouds.' (35) He mounted his horse and went after him, went after him to the spring. He said to him 'Hey, my friend, why did you leave my house? Why had I gone down (to the town)?' He (Mămo) said 'Go up, my friend, the sun has risen and (when) it has set, it will not rise (again)'.  (36) He did not know (what he was talking about). He went up and said 'I'll go up and work it out'.  He said (to himself) 'Go up and work it out'. He went up and said to his wife, he said 'He said this to me, this, what do you say?' (37) She said 'Go down and say to him "The sun has just risen, sunshine has struck the mountains, but the sunshine has not yet completely (spread)"  Just tell him this and return'. Qara Teždin did not know what the meaning was. The woman went off. He went down and said to him, he said 'My friend, the sun has just risen, but the sunshine has not struck the mountains'. (38) Mămo was forced to return. He returned and said 'What is going on?' He said 'Your ring, this ring is mine'. She said 'It is yours, yes. My sister, Zine gave it to me. She said "I cannot keep it on my hand". I took it and put it on my hand. (I wish) that she would be married to you'. (39) Qara Teždin said when he heard this, he said 'We are three brothers, Qara Teždin, Čəkko and Səppo. You also should become (one) of us and (make) four brothers. But I must first take the sister of Mir Zandin to marry her to you'. 
(40) Now, he came and he went up onto the roof. He went up onto the roof to show him Jazira Bota. Zine and her maid-servants went down to the spring. Mir-Zandin said 'She (Zine) is going down to the spring'. He said 'Go down and meet her'. He (Mămo) said 'No, you go down to meet her'. Mămo said 'You go down to meet her'. He said 'No, you go down to meet her'. A word is beautiful in the mouth of its master.  (41) Mămo got up and sat on his horse. He went down to the spring. Zine came. Forty bridesmaids were with her. She came. He took her scarf in his hand and did this (with) the ring,  and she saw it. He greeted her. (42) She let his greeting go over her head.  She came and he said 'Give me a bowl of water'. She got up and gave him a bowl of water, and he drank. He drank and she sent them away, she sent all the maid-servants away. She said 'Go up to the house'.

(43) They remained there and had fun together. They had fun together and he said to her 'Go up and tell your brother that today they should make a plan to go out hunting. Then, I shall go to you at home'. She said 'I have seen in my dream that my brother will seize you and put you in jail, in prison'. (44) He said 'I don't care about prison. Your brother cannot put me in jail. You go up and say to him that tomorrow they should go out hunting and I shall come to you'. She got up and said to her brother, she said 'Brother, I would like you to go up and hunt for wild sheep, you to go and bring me wild sheep'. (45) He says 'Sister, I don't think you have ever re-quested such things are you are requesting now'. She said 'Brother, I'd like it'. he said 'By all means'. Now, the next day he gave word and they went up. (When) they went up the mountain, it began to be overcast and rain. Mămo went up to the house, to the palace of Mir-Zandin. (46) When it started raining, Mir-Zandin sent a servant. He said 'Go down and tell Zine to prepare the living room. We have returned, we could not go out hunting, it is raining'. He came down and (found) Mămo and Zine kissing each other. He came (into the house) and said 'My lord, leave go of each other! Mir-Zandin has come back'. He sat like this on the sofa. (47) At that time all aghas and elders wore the abbaya gown. He put the abbaya over them. He hid her, Zine, behind him. He (Mir-Zandin) entered (and said) 'Greetings'. 'Greetings to you too'. He (Mămo) accepted his greetings while sitting on the floor. (48) He (Mir-Zandin) said 'Are you not ashamed!? A prince like me greets you and you are sitting on your bum! Why have you not got up?' He said 'My lord, it shameful for you to say "bum" in the reception room. Don't say "bum" in the reception room. (49) Qara Teždin stood up and said, ask, perhaps he has a stomach-ache, perhaps he has a head-ache, perhaps he has a pain somewhere. Why (treat him) in this way? He sat down.
