Na prijestolu sjedi sultan

silni ekber car
a do njega mlad vezire
mladi Begmen pan
Kazuj meni mlad vezire
imena ti tvog
ko ti dade zlatne kljuce
od harema mog
Dala mi ih sestra tvoja
i poljupca dva
a do zore kol'ko bjese
ni sam ne znam ja
Znas li bolan mlad vezire
snasao te jad
da ce dzelat glavu
tvoju odrubiti sad
Stani malo, saslusaj me
ja sam svemu kriv
ljubljah, ljubim, ljubit cu je
sve dok budem ziv
Na te rijeci skoci sultan
k'o razjaren div
mir zavlada k'o da niko
ne imade ziv
Dok na jednom
zazubori milostivi glas
ljubite se sultan ekber
blagosiljam vas
Na prijestolu sjedi sultan
